Book Cover Tips

42. || sketch

If you look close enough you can see these little white lines around the person in the cover, and that is what I will be showing you what to do in this tutorial. 

i. Open the color of your choice as the background in Superimpose. Open the PNG of your person as the foreground and move them to your desired location. Merge.

ii. Open a plain white image as the foreground and zoom in on it to where it's all over the whole cover. Then, go to the mask tab and erase all of the white with the paint brush. After this is done, get the eraser ready and turn the size all of the way down.

iii. Zoom in on the person and sketch around the outside of them and on a few other places like the ones above. These lines don't have to be perfect, since it's a sketch, but make sure they aren't too large or else it'll look a little tacky. Keep doing this until you are satisfied, then merge and save.

iv. Open in Phonto and add your title. I used CODE and Chasing Embers above as my fonts, but use whatever else you'd like.

This is more of an experimental type of tutorial, so you'll just have to mess around with it to get the look you want. I hope it turns out for you guys!
