    Watercolor Children's Book Illustration & Storybook Design
    Looking for warm, expressive watercolor illustrations to bring your children's story to life? This children's book project was created with a charming watercolor storybook aesthetic, combining expressive characters, detailed environments, gentle colors, and playful visual storytelling to create pages that feel inviting and full of personality. For “Where Do You Go, Milo?”, I developed a series of illustrated scenes following a curious little girl and her adventurous grey cat, Milo. Each page was designed to move the story forward visually while maintaining consistency in the characters, watercolor style, environments, and overall atmosphere throughout the book.
