Overview
I have been an independent illustrator since 2013 and on Reedsy since 2014 for various books projects.
I love to see a book come to life, and If I can help you bring yours to your public I'll be truly glad to !
I have been drawing and making stories all my life. After a scientific degree, I went on to follow my dream as an illustrator in an art school specialized on animated movies.
Once I graduated with my Master's degree I went to work a little on the animation industry but my true love for books inclined me toward books covers and illustrating story books as I do now.
I now have become a teacher since 2018 and teach young students how to draw characters that makes a story to remember.
The way I work is as follow :
- We first talk together of your project, how is going to be your books ? Will it be a cover ? Will you need illustrations inside and out ? What kind of book are you looking for ?
- Then I do the quote
- Once it is validated we start working on the illustrations and art. I do sketch, then lines then color and everything that is needed for a successful and appealing illustration. ( You can see the exemple of it in my pictures )
- When all is ready and validated by you, I send you everything you need to make your book come true !
I hope we can collaborate soon !
And in the meanwhile I'll be probably reading a book~
