Working On Improving Backgrouds

by Freya Blackman
6th March 2023

An illustration of a rocky mountain-scape covered in grass and small white flowers. In a flat part of the meadow sits a large city that has many layers and levels that lead up to a grand castle looming over the meadow. A valley leads down to the sea where the sun is just rising over the horizon.
