Portfolio Review: Cover Art

$49.99$99.99

Every comic needs a cover (often more than one)! If you’re interested in having your cover art reviewed, we’re happy to do that, too!

You may submit up to five pieces of cover art illustration (they can be pencils, pencils & inks) or fully colored. And our trained editors or artists will be able to give you a review.

It’s always helpful to know what your goals are. If you have a specific genre you want to do covers for, or different styles, etc. We want to make sure we’re giving a review that’s helpful for you so you can more quickly achieve your goals!

To submit your art for review, do the following:

  1. Select the range of pages you will be submitting
  2. Click “Add to Cart.”
  3. Go to your cart. Current Community Pro members receive a 10% discount.
  4. Proceed to checkout. Fill out all the billing information.
  5. Click “Place Order.”
  6. After purchase, you will be asked to fill out a form which will request:
    • The name of the artist.
    • The email address you would like the review sent to.
    • A link to the portfolio pages (ideally, a PDF).

Note, we recommend submitting no more than 10 pages for review. That is typically enough for one of our professional editors or artists to get a good sense of where you may want to concentrate for improvement.

Our style for review is an affirming and honest one. We’re not here to tear anyone down, but rather to honestly evaluate your work and give you helpful, and actionable critiques so that you know what to work on to improve your pages going forward. We are polite and professional and only want to see you succeed.

Most reviews are handled by Andy Schmidt, a former Marvel Comics and IDW Publishing Editor and Senior Editor, a comics writer, educator and publisher. He’s worked on small independent comics as well as blockbuster best-sellers.
