Final cover of Japanese-studying book cover. This one looks quite plain to me compare to the other two below. I guess the reason they picked this one is that the Japanese sentence samples are more obvious.

My latest book cover job. Japanese studying book again. I did the illustrations inside first and then picked the two main characters, professor and student, to be on the cover. The illustrations inside are simple black and white lines. It’s fun to do coloring.

These are initial comps. The second one on the right was voted to be the cover in the publisher’s seminar (I like that one too but they decided on another piece. The reason is that they have a lot of thinking-balloon covers already. Um…I’m still thinking how I can redesign this one to be more original.

Anyway, they picked the final one and I will post it here soon.
