A course by Anna Süßbauer
Anna Süßbauer is a Cologne-based illustrator who specializes in children's books and editorial projects. After working in several professional fields, she decided to pursue her passion for creating art and self-expression through images, a skill she taught herself. Her favorite way to bring the mundane to life is by illustrating brightly colored creatures with unusual shapes and funny features.
She's illustrated books for major clients like Miles Kelly, DK Children, Little Tiger, Hachette Worthy Kids, and Combel Editorial, where she was given the creative freedom to explore her style in ¡Tengo un hambre de dragón! by Mar Benegas. In the publishing field, she got to complete her dream project for the magazine Brigitte and has already illustrated the children's puzzle page of Die kleine Brigitte several times.
