This was for my new book, Chalkboard Madness, With Mandalas.
it's a new series I may launch in the future with black designs, WIth white ink.
Note: the left side is the BACK COVER, the right side is the front.
Sometimes I pay free lancers to do my covers, But sometimes I do them myself.
Started with a chalkboard green background, I couldn't decide if I wanted to use it, But I went with it
The background of the pages are black, So I had mixed feelings if I wanted to use green or a black background. I've seen chalkboards in both colors.
Opened a Mandala From the book, So people will have an idea of what they can color
Adding font
This is a weird process for me, I usually edit it based on how it looks, I don't always have an exact idea of what I want the cover to look like
I added more from the book
I want people to have a great idea of what they'll be coloring so I try to use a lot of different pages on my cover
Used Chalkboard colors to color the Mandalas
Changed my mind, I want the background black
Adding the official title
Outlined & Finished product
Also added the extra Mandala for the back.
Outlined that too with black to make it stick out more
Lols!!!! Not this GIMP then?!?!

Awesome work.
Also upvoting because I just really like GIMP. Have you checked out the FX foundry plugin? Or any others, there's some great ones out there.
