Cover of my book of Mythological Beasts

 For my book cover, I looked to Greek mythology books for inspiration. I found several books and the designs were a bit plain without detail in the background.


Greek mythology


The heroes of mythology

It was clearly a search for Spanish books and I noticed that the Spanish books are not as detailed and perfect as the English books.


I really liked researching about Greek books in English, I was able to find different designs and I was able to be inspired. Now I have a clearer idea of how to make the cover of my book.

I really like the third image of the publication, and seeing how the bull stands out on the cover, surely everyone thinks it is the minotaur, with the knowledge I acquired in the search for mythological beasts, I started to think that it could be the Cretan bull or the Khalkotauroi


Cretan Bull


Khalkotauroi

For the cover of my book I thought about putting a mythology beast on the cover, in another publication I put some sketches that I made to get an idea about what I wanted for my cover.



These sketches helped me to make the final sketch that I wanted to make and with the book where the bull appears, it was clearer.

On the cover of my book I would have a minotaur in front and in the background I would have the labyrinth where the beast resides.



I would use the background idea from the first sketch and the character from the second sketch.
