Alina S.

Hello! My name is Alina. I'm a professional children's book illustrator and the team leader at "Nimble Pencils". I help authors and publishers bring their stories to life through expressive illustrations, memorable characters, and print-ready books. I prefer a flexible, collaborative workflow where your feedback is an important part of the creative process. Here are a few facts about me: – 12+ years dedicated to children's book illustration. – Team Leader at Nimble Pencils. – 100+ books illustrated by me and hundreds more completed by my team under my supervision. – Master of Arts with a degree in Fine Arts (Kyiv Polytechnic Institute). – Winner of the Children’s Africana Book Awards 2021 as the illustrator of Idia of the Benin Kingdom. – My artistic focus is creating authentic multicultural characters, strong female protagonists, and illustrations that celebrate diversity and inclusion. – I never use AI. Every illustration is 100% original and created by hand. – I love cats and especially enjoy creating animal characters. I can work during US business hours, making communication smooth and convenient. You can explore my portfolio below. I'd love to help bring your story to life!
