A simple template to aid in creating a front/back and spine of a book cover.
This is a quick template to use to get a general sized book cover. To use, place this on a layer above the layer you are drawing on, and lower the opacity untill you are able to see through the frame clearly. Draw your art right up to the edge of the page, the black rim around the frame is the bleed area. REMEMBER. The front cover will be on the RIGHT.
Alternatively you can use this frame by setting it as invisible, bringing it up now and then to check if your artwork is in the right place. It's up to you!
This is for a roughly 11.5in x 8.24 in book, with a 0.12 inch bleed. You can likely manipulate/cut paste the lines for the spine to suit a bigger/smaller book size.
