Watercolour Rabbit - Children’s Book Illustration
This illustration features a gentle little rabbit, inspired by the timeless charm of traditional storybooks and the worlds of artists like Beatrix Potter. It represents the style I most love to create, soft, characterful, and full of warmth and story.
This piece is completely hand-illustrated and watercoloured, bringing a cosy, nostalgic feel that’s perfect for children’s books, story collections, or whimsical editorial pieces.
I’ve placed my watermark across the image to protect my work, all artwork is copyrighted and original.
If you’re an author, publisher, or creative looking for book illustrations in this storybook style, I’d love to collaborate and bring your characters to life. This is exactly the kind of work I’m most passionate about, and I’m always open to discussing new projects. 🌿 illustrator watercolour watercolourillustrations childrensbookillustrator illustrator…This illustration features a gentle little rabbit, inspired by the timeless charm of traditional storybooks and the worlds of artists like Beatrix Potter.

Get Ink - Biker Skull T-Shirt Design
This project was created for Get Ink, a tattoo booking system and enquiry platform. I designed a bold skull illustration wearing a classic biker helmet to capture a rebellious, tattoo-inspired aesthetic that fits perfectly with the brand’s identity. The goal was to give it that authentic “biker vibe”, something edgy, eye-catching, and representative of tattoo culture.
The artwork was used on T-shirts and branded merchandise for conventions and events, giving the company a strong visual identity that resonates with both tattoo artists and enthusiasts. The team at Get Ink were really happy with the final result and felt it perfectly reflected their vision and audience. illustrator branding designer logo…This project was created for Get Ink, a tattoo booking system and enquiry platform.

Wilbur and Friends - Front Cover
Front Cover Illustration – Book by Howard Ball – Illustrated by Savanna Metcalfe
I’m delighted to share the illustrated front-cover artwork I created for the book by Howard Ball, executive producer of the film A Street Cat Named Bob 2016.
This project holds a special place in my heart — the story features a beloved dog who has been part of our family’s life, and my own dogs also appear among the illustrations. As the illustrator, I brought to life their personalities and the warmth of our connection through the cover design.
The book has been published and is available via outlets such as Waterstones and WH Smith (also searchable on Amazon).

Freddy Fox - Woodland Birthday Party
Woodland Birthday Party – Illustrated Children’s Story by Savanna Metcalfe
This is a very special project close to my heart, a story I wrote and illustrated myself. It follows a group of woodland creatures who all come together to celebrate a birthday party in the forest. Each page was lovingly drawn and brought to life with soft, storybook-inspired details that capture the magic of friendship, kindness, and nature.
As both the author and illustrator, I poured my love for animals and cosy woodland themes into this book. It’s full of charm, character, and warmth, the kind of story I would have adored as a child.
To protect my work, watermarks and my name appear across the images. This piece is fully copyrighted and all rights remain with me.
Perfect for anyone who loves children’s book illustration, whimsical art, or woodland-inspired storytelling. 🌿🦊🐰🎂 illustrator childrensbookillustrator digitalillustrator…Woodland Birthday Party – Illustrated Children’s Story by Savanna Metcalfe
