    paper Children book illustration

    I wanted this piece to feel like a deep breath of fresh air. There’s something so special about the way light hits a field at the end of the day, and I tried to capture that warmth using soft gouache textures and messy, hand-drawn lines.

    It’s a simple scene, but I spent a lot of time on her expression—trying to get that feeling of total, carefree happiness just right. I’m really happy with how the watercolor paper texture gives it that ‘well-loved book’ feel."
