- Book Cover Illustration

A warm, character-driven illustration exploring quiet connection, emotional nuance, and metaphorical storytelling.

Designed for a 6×9 inch young adult novel, this speculative cover captures the gentle tension between intimacy and independence. While the story is grounded in realism, the visual style subtly evokes space and sci-fi - reflecting how the characters use cosmic metaphors to interpret their journey together.

Rendered in rich blues and soft pinks, the composition plays with light, posture, and asymmetry to suggest a relationship built on mutual respect and quiet joy. The piece reflects my broader illustration style: emotionally resonant, visually inviting, and rooted in narrative - ideal for titles that center character, warmth, and contemporary storytelling with heart.
