I'm Jessica Foskett, a budding children's book illustrator based in Portsmouth, Hampshire. I work primarily as a freelancer, taking commissions from clients for pets and personal objects to give images more life and vibrancy. Creating stories for children brings me joy and working with Settle Stories for Schools has helped me develop my skills and push my drawing further. I use Autodesk SketchBook to sketch and color, and I refine the images in Photoshop to fit client briefs and bring stories to life.
