The Cover Image Dressed Up With Colors

Today I assembled the cover image for my children’s picture book. The colors are all tentative. I love the clouds, which were painted with my Procreate cloud brush.

This is a large image: 8000x4000px. Procreate allows a maximum of 12 layers. That’s not too bad, but if I were doing this image on my desktop I would have 5 times that many layers. Using Procreate with large images requires caution — there’s a of merging layers. Once you merge, you can’t revert. Merging layers is living dangerously.
