Yuliia B.
Watercolour Children's Book Illustrator & Character Designer
Hi 🌸 My name is Yuliia, I’m a children’s book Illustrator specialising in soft watercolour illustration and full-cycle book creation. I help authors bring their stories to life - from character development and full-page illustrations to cover design, text placement, and print-ready files. Each book is a separate world for me - I develop a visual style for every specifically for the story, carefully shaping details that matter to that particular narrative ✨ Originality is essential in my work. I do not use AI - all illustrations are created by hand, with inspiration drawn from nature, atmosphere, and storytelling. My usual book creation process includes: – developing the main character – sketching and page planning – choosing a colour palette – creating illustrations (half-page, full-page, spread, and spot illustrations) – front and back cover design – endpapers and additional illustrations for a cohesive book world – helping with text placement – preparing files for print I also have first-hand experience self-publishing my own children’s book, which gives me a clear understanding of the full production process and the challenges authors often face - especially first-time publishers. This allows me to confidently guide projects from the initial idea to a finished, printed book. Please explore my portfolio to see completed books and illustration projects. I’d be happy to discuss your story and help turn it into a beautiful illustrated book ✨ Best wishes, Yuliia
