After the preliminary sketches, I used reference photos from my personal collection to create the environment. Houses, trees, lamp posts, street, garden.
I love artistic anatomy and human facial expression so it was a joy creating the two characters!
Historical accuracy for the boy's outfit was also very important so I spent a bit of time studying the Victorian dressing code for boys.
Once the images were ready, I added the text layout paying attention to all the technical specifications as well as to the visual coherence that had to result from combining the illustrations with the overall design of the cover.")

"I am absolutely amazed by Aprilily. This is my second book cover with her and this experience was just as lovely as the first. I drew up a sketch of what I wanted that looked like something a kindergartner drew and she came back with a work of art. She ..."

"Aprilily21 was incredible. Besides her obvious talent, she worked hard to understand what I was going for with my project. She asked questions, took my suggestions, and worked very hard to design a great cover. I was amazed at the number of options s..."

"This artist is awesome! I didn't think it was going to be possible-but somehow she managed to pick the images right from my brain and get them down on paper.
Bravo!!"

"What can I say? The cover really speaks for itself. There are some things an author just shouldn't try to do for herself. I am so grateful that Aprilily was so capable of helping me get just the look I wanted for both my character and my background. ..."
