My project in Illustration for Children’s Books: Creating a Joyful Universe course

Here is my final project drawing a kid called Alex in their bedroom.

I made my Alex a lively character that loves reading and nature! Maybe other kids think wiggly worm pajamas and keeping bugs in jars is weird but Alex is passionate and excited to learn more about the world around her. I actually kept her room quite 'neat' because I think she'd be organised and methodical with her room -more room for bugs!

I love creating this piece with a really vibrant colour palette and I'm really pleased with the outcome. If I were to create this image again I might be a little more experimental with the angles and have a more daring perspective.

Overall I think this would be a first page of a book that I'd want to turn the page!

I can't wait to see who your 'Alex' is!
