This is a concept project for a fictional children’s book.
“What Happened to My Potion?” tells the story of a curious kid who woke up to find a delightful surprise in her potion bottle: a magical mushroom. With the help of her new friend, she sets out on an adventure to unravel the mystery behind the potion's transformation.
Hope you enjoy it!
Here are some images to show the first concept, the sketches and the base colors.
The goal was to create a cover that captured the moment of discovery as the girl stumbled upon her potion bottle.
To add some contrast and a magical touch, there’s light around the bottle and vapors beneath it.
The cover sets the stage for the magical adventure that awaits.
Just like the illustration, the lettering for this book cover is hand-drawn.
And here are some close ups to show some details.
