Evgenia Penman

Evgenia Penman – Designer

For picture books I offer full service including illustrating and cover/interior design. I provide a ready to print PDF as a final product.

Overview

When I see people smiling at my pictures, I know I’ve succeeded in my ambition. I aim for my illustrations to look effortless - hiding the hours of hard work and years of practice behind them. My goal is always to create a sense of levity and fun.

I offer full service for picture books up to 40 pages, including illustration, cover design, and interior layout, delivering a ready-to-print PDF or a set of illustrations in the required format.

For each project, I set clear milestones, estimate the timeline, define a transparent budget, and keep the client informed throughout the process. I work with both traditional and digital media, choosing the best tools for each project.

Please note: I am currently only taking projects from outside of North America, as I am exclusively represented by an agency in that region.
