    Children's Book Illustration & Character Design

    I created this children’s book illustration project to demonstrate my approach to visual storytelling, character development, and engaging artwork for young readers.

    The project focuses on creating expressive characters, colorful environments, and story-driven scenes that communicate emotions and narrative moments clearly.
