I tweaked a few more colours and cropped it appropriately and it seems to look alright now - I think I was actually sticking too rigidly to the colour scheme I had picked out. I think a couple subtle differences and additions between the colours here and there might be a good thing in order to differentiate one object from another. This is what I am noticing in the illustration for "Children on the Road"
Also while copying over the illustration to another document I accidentally only copied the shading layer and this is what it looked like. I'm thinking this is a good visual style to go for for the cover illustrations as what I have done so far didn't really look punchy enough to be suited for a cover, as I mentioned in my last post as well
I re-did a cover drawing it with just shading and think it looks a lot more appropriate - I still need to tweak with layouts and such though. I also inverted the colours from before thinking maybe if I get every other book cover in inverted colours it might look cool to have the spines lined up in alternating colours.
