I am trying to improve my 'graphic skills'.
Here I'll post what I have made. I might even do some premades.

I made this cover for LeAnneRivers. I have decided in order to show you all everything I have done, I'll post all the pictures I used.
I first found the pictures on Pinterest. I don't know about you all but Mama loves her some Pinterest...and some Chris Pratt (but that is for a whole other topic).
With this being said, I own none of the pictures used in the cover. All rights belong to the people who posted the pictures.
Now, on to the pictures.
First the picture of the canyon:
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.
Then the picture of the girl:
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.
Then I inserted the girl into the canyon picture. I blended her into the background, making her smaller so she looked like she belonged.
Finally I played around with the coloring of the pictures and added the words.
The final result is this:
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.
There you have it. Making this picture to the liking of the author took almost two hours. But it was honestly worth it. In case you all were wondering, I used PicsArt to make the cover.
With that being said, you all should go check out LeAnneRivers 's book The Spy of Pridestorm Desert. Not only because I made her cover for her but because she is a good writer. Also, insert shameless promoting: I am also, actually the cowriter of the book.

Until next time, this is Mama Rivers saying, "It's okay to be Graphically Incompetent."
