Here is a look at how I made the cover art. Some steps cannot be seen here, as I did some research on the Art Noveau style. I drew rough sketches of the character first, then went over it with some precision. I went over those lines again, this time very carefully; making sure the lines are clean, and also adding in the finer details. I then colour everything in, keeping the lighting and shades in mind. When I'm done, the background looks empty, so I added in some floral borders and brushstrokes. I added in the title with an appropriate typeface and a texture overlay.
Hi there, my name is Joy Fu and I am currently studying post graduate at the Auckland University of Technology. I enjoy drawing and making comics, and I hope to make something out of it.

Runes of the Wind: First Cover
I worked quite long on this cover; deciding which character to put on it, the posing, the composition, the style, etc. But in the end I am quite happy with it. Hopefully the actual comic will turn out well, too.
