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!
