The Brief: Create animal illustrations to accompany each number from 1 - 20, a children's educational coloring booklet. I illustrated a group of sheep to represent the number seven. I used simple black line drawings with playful details to make the animals appealing and easy for young children to color. I arranged the sheep around a large number seven, making the number the main focus of the page. I also included the word "Seven" at the bottom, using bold outlined lettering that children could color in as well.

The Brief: Illustrate animals that represent different colors for a children's coloring booklet. I created a series of animal illustrations to accompany a children's activity booklet focused on learning colors. Each animal was chosen to represent a particular color, making the connection between the animal and the color easy for young children to understand. I illustrated the animals using clean black outlines and simple details, keeping the drawings recognizable and fun to color. I also considered the age of the children who would be using the booklet, making sure the illustrations were clear and approachable without being overly complicated.

Project: Nativity Scene Illustration The Brief: Create a simple illustration depicting the Nativity scene. What I Did & How I Did It: I created a digital illustration of the Nativity, featuring Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, and the animals surrounding them. I wanted to keep the design simple and warm, using soft, muted colors and clean, organic shapes to give the illustration a gentle and peaceful feel. I focused on simplifying the characters and animals while keeping enough detail to make each one recognizable. I also used a circular background to bring all the elements together and create a balanced composition. The final illustration has a clean, modern look while keeping the traditional feeling of the Nativity story.
