CHILDREN’S Illustration

FOlktale Week

Children’s books and illustrations for children (such as magazines, posters, and ads) is an area of illustration that I really enjoy. I have worked for a variety of clients, please do get in touch if you are interested in working with me.

Folktale week was created by Jennifer M Potter, a well known children’s book illustrator.

To capture the enchanting moment of discovery a child experiences when introduced to the worlds of folk tales was the thesis I aimed towards in the creation of this illustration. A sense of wonder is often lost as we grow older, but is so deeply ingrained in the experience of story-telling that we as humans never grow tired of telling stories. I used a textured approach to the rendering of forms in this illustration, while trying to capture the atmospheric sensation of a dimly lit forest.
