First of all, thank you for 4K views on this graphic book! I really, really, really appreciate it. Now I need to make a new cover. I'm working on it, no worries!
Moving on...
Someone once told me to try Smudge Edits.
Smudge editing is a very distinct type of graphic (usually with Korean Idols/Actors). They're very beautiful to look at, but I guess I've never really made one, really. So I decided to try a little smudge icon.
I used a Faceclaim Generator, and got 'Jennie' from the music group 'Blackpink'.
Anyway-

The highlights were honestly the hardest part. Her skin looks so smooth now, she appears like a robot. Kind of feeding off of that (and also because I couldn't figure out how to do the highlights), I did those lines on the far side of her face.
But I really love the color scheme! Neon is something I don't normally like, but I think it looks very beautiful here, contrasting with the darkness.
Nonetheless, this took a very long time for me, so I think we'll leave smudging to the experts. Many designers on Wattpad have their own signature "graphic styles" that I can recognize them by. Maybe I'll try to find one too! I'm pretty basic now, since the common person+background covers are my favorites, but I'm still learning.
