“The Girl with No Reflection” by @keshewrites for @dreamerwhaleboxes 🐋 Inspired by key story elements and classic Chinese painting, I simplified the shapes and colours to give this cover an antique 1800s looks, and imagine myself finding this in an old bookshop nestled between timeless classics 🌙 - #illustration #bookcover #bookcoverdesign #bookish #artnouveaustyle
