Making a (fan) book cover in GIMP | Honey Vinegar
Hi y'all! Here's a quick bonus video for this week of me making a fan book cover for my friend Shaelin's novel, Honey Vinegar. I had a lot of fun making this cover, especially since not using my usual software really pushed me out of my comfort zone!

Thank you! ❤️
I love that cover! I've been trying to get into making book covers, and since I don't feel ready to commit to a Photoshop subscription or purchase of a PS alternative, I thought I would try doing it in GIMP. Glad to know it's possible to create such cool covers and I really appreciate you showing us the process.
The support you and Shaelin show one another is adorable 💜
Oh my 😍 I love how it turned out! Beautiful!!!

Omg this cover is so pretty. I love the simplicity of it! Ponds (Monet would be proud of u) and birds are my aesthetic--all we need is somebody to publish Shaelin's novel hehe
Love your cover making videos and of course, this turned out so pretty!! Also tempted to try gimp now lol
