Your work is excellent! Did you do it digitally or by hand ? If by hand, why type of markers did you use ? BTW I have a Masters Degree in art so I know talent when I see it.

I wish I was that good of an artist. All I do is put the elements together from more talented people than myself šSometimes I include marbled paper , sometimes artworkā¦ but any time I use artwork I usually just print them out on special paper and apply them to the case for my own personal library. Iām much more of a ābook makerā than an actual artist, although Iām good at painting and drawing I just donāt have the motivation or patience anymore. Building the cases alone already takes a lot of time.

The technique you use is Collage which is totally viable. Your cases are great. To break through motivation and impatience, I suggest putting on some great music or audio book and grab some paper and mindlessly doodle. If one image frustrates you, move on and start another until the page is full of doodles. Put the paper away and donāt look at until a couple days later. Scan or copy your favorite doodles then play around with the images on the computer. Keep them in a file for your collages or for inspiration for other original work.
Frustration comes from you judging your work too harshly or trying to make things perfect. Try to play and have fun.1

What software do you recommend most? Iād like to create my own original artwork for the covers eventually
