Big Friend: Back cover

I have, through the past couple of hours, I've coloured in the back cover of Big Friend, and added in the blurb, and monetary information.

 The first job was cleaning up the scan of the pencil drawing for use digitally. This was done using the levels and threshold tools, like before.

 Then with the pen tool, I began the colouring with Big's legs. I am again staying within the constraints I had set with the front colour.

 I then coloured in the girl and her dad. I gave them matching colour schemes, to emphasize their kinship.

 Next, I coloured the blurb box, again using Big and the girl's predominant colours.

 Next, I and coloured in all the background details. I added a dark blue overlay over the image, to darken the tones as if at nighttime.

 The next job was to add the monetary information, which began with the generation of a barcode for the book.

 This barcode was then boxed together in this simple little arrangement. The ISBN number, RRP, and FSC logo are all important in real world publications, so I've added them here.

 I wrote out my blurb in Windows' Notepad application, and then brought it into Photoshop. I varied the sizes of some of the words to add variation and interest to the blurb.

And here's the finished product! Later today, I shall be sprucing up both covers, and then making a spine, and finally assembling the entire cover!
