    Journey Through the Horizons

    Journey Through the Horizons” is a series of illustrated story scenes developed entirely from my imagination and ideas. Each piece unfolds through distinct stages, from rough sketches, to color-blocking palettes, and finally to detailed rendering, bringing the story to life visually. The process not only emphasizes the narrative but also reflects the creative journey behind each scene.
