Children's Book Illustration with Photoshop

Eric Castleman is a children’s book illustrator living in Montana who specializes in traditional painting techniques with digital tools. His interest in illustration started as a child and, having an artist for a brother and a sister interested in crafts, he was always creative growing up. He spent time drawing during school but didn’t consider art as a career until his wife, a painter, bought him a book on how to build a business from his passion.

Since then, Eric has worked for Highlights magazine, and The Monster Project, and has been featured by Kidlit411, Society of Visual Storytelling, and multiple art galleries. He works primarily in mixed media, integrating unique textures and light into his work.
