Default Covering Question

I'm about 3-4 weeks from starting to cover my BTE Venture 60 and wondered if anyone has any recommendations as to where to find resources on covering skills. I have some basic experience but want to improve my skills, especially curves, corners and edges....too many wrinkles.

Also, if I have an image I'd like to incorporate into my scheme, what options do I have? I have poor artistic skills but have expensive experience using Photoshop and other computer apps.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I found the wingtips to be a bit more difficult than some. I suggest covering the tips with a separate piece. Just my .02.

Harry Higley has a book out - "There Are No Secrets" that's a pretty good treatise on covering and finishing.
