CHILDREN”S BOOK ILLUSTRATIONS
Sad Fox
A sneak peak of illustrations I made for The Sad Fox, where we follow a sad fox who doesn’t know her strength yet. It is a gentle story about finding the power within and embracing it.
Plan first, sketch later
I started this project by dividing the book spreads into scenes.
Further collaboration with the client helped to make the process smooth.

Sketches and some finished illustrations
While there were many sketches, I first made mockup of a book spreads to get the approval of the client.
Then, once confirmed, I could start exploring the characters and scenes.
Design of book sections
In collaboration with the client, I structured the story, carefully selecting which scenes to combine and which to elevate into full, nearly wordless spreads.
