About

Hi, I’m Elijah Tan—a freelance digital illustrator and children’s book artist who loves blending traditional drawing with modern digital tools. Since March 2023, I’ve collaborated with authors to create faith-based and educational visuals using Adobe Photoshop, Procreate, and hand-drawn techniques.

My background as a Cameraman at ABS-CBN sharpened my storytelling sense, lighting, and composition, which I bring to every project. I enjoy turning ideas into vivid, welcoming narratives for kids and families, and I relish collaborating with clients to bring their books to life.
