I AM HERE — Children’s Book | HiIllustration Excellence Award

I AM HERE is a self-authored children’s picture book exploring identity, belonging and self-recognition through character-led visual storytelling. I developed the concept, character design, visual narrative, sequential imagery and final artwork, combining pencil drawing, rough-paper textures and digital painting.
The project was recognised by HiIllustration [insert exact award/category], and was developed as a complete 32-page picture book.
The project demonstrates my experience in picture-book development from early visual research and character design through to final sequential artwork and book production.
