Marian Domínguez – Designer

Hi! I’m a professional illustrator specializing in children's picture books and youth illustrations

Overview

Hi, I'm Marian an illustrator living in Spain! I have experience in making digital art and traditional art. In my career as a digital illustrator I specialize in creating illustrations for the young adult, middle grade and children's picture book genres.


As an illustrator I love working with authors and engaging with their stories, enriching them with brushstrokes that reflect their vision and help bring their words to life. To achieve this I have a meticulous step-by-step process, in which we will work together: 1) Conceptualization, 2) Sketches, 3) Illustrations, 4) Revisions and adjustments, and 5) Final delivery.


This organized work will get your book ready on time and with the professional finish you deserve! The success of a picture book lies in a fluent communication between the author and the illustrator. So I guarantee to always be attentive to any questions you may have, to guide you in this process if it is the first time you work with an illustrator and of course to be flexible to your needs.


If you want to work with me send me a request and in less than 24h I will get back to you!!!!


See you soon!

Marian is very professional and awesome to work with! Her work is beautiful. She really brought my character and setting to life. She got everything down to a T. Her illustrations took my breath away when I first saw them. She is very knowledgeable and responsive and answered any questions I had throughout the process. I would highly recommend working with Marian. She went above and beyond!

Working with Marian was absolutely lovely. I originally contacted her to create art for the settings in my upcoming novel, and she did such an excellent job that I asked her to create character art as well! Each step of the project was clearly outlined, and she kept an open line of communication the entire time. She gave me multiple options of art to choose from, and worked with me on image ed...

Marian is magic and my book is proof. This process was so seamless and amazing because of her and I could not be more excited to market and sell this book we have created together. She managed to take my words and ridiculous illustration notes and turn them in to exactly what I want. Each step of the way I would go "oh my god she included this without me asking!" and all sorts of other magic m...

Marian was fantastic to work with for the design of the book. We had a very specific vision and she was very receptive to feedback and direction. She was also willing to get on a video call to discuss the vision and request so that she could better understand the vision. She was very responsive to messages and quick to turn around new drafts and versions. Even with the language differences she ...

Marian did an amazing job once again. This is my second time working with her and she delivered an awesome cover. She is great at capturing the spirit of a character just with the description given. She's also great at capturing the environment and surroundings too. I would highly recommend her as a cover artist.
