Hi, I’m Yelyzaveta Shyvko, a children's book illustrator with a little over a year of experience. I believe that text and illustration are two independent yet connected forms of storytelling, and my goal is to enrich the story visually through atmosphere, emotion, and detail. I’ve created sketches and storyboards for children's books, produced vector illustrations for educational materials, and designed covers for educational resources. I also teach children drawing and painting, which keeps my practice curious and collaborative.
