This is the cover of my new book. It will be up for preorder soon, and I will also make the digital copy available for free. I wanted to make a very minimalist cover that was just color and text. Book covers have gotten so damn ornate... 😀

Hi Lee, I do put the charcoal down first, but then I spray it with fixative to set it to the paper. I usually do two layers of charcoal, and spray fixative on them both, and usually do the acrylic paint last.
