Upwork • Trabajador autónomo

Jul 2024 - Present • 2 yrs 2 mos

I work as a self-employed children’s book illustrator and character designer, creating expressive hand-drawn artwork for authors, publishers, and independent creators. My experience includes developing memorable characters, expressive poses and emotions, storybook scenes, environments, coloring pages, activity-book artwork, and book covers. I specialize in visual storytelling and character consistency, ensuring recurring characters maintain recognizable features, proportions, clothing, colors, and personality throughout a project. I work from manuscripts, written descriptions, sketches, and visual references to transform ideas into cohesive illustrations. My experience includes both individual illustrations and multi-page children’s publishing projects, with careful attention to composition, storytelling, emotional expression, visual consistency, and print-ready delivery. My goal is to create artwork that strengthens each story and gives every project a distinctive visual identity.
