Back in 2023, I had the pleasure of working with Igloo Books on a unicorn-themed picture book. Unfortunately, the project was cancelled before it could see the light of day, but I had so much fun drawing all of these magical unicorns! I’d like to thank Igloo Books and the team I worked with for letting me share a selection of illustrations from this project. @igloobooks @igloobooks_usa #unicorns #fantasy #magical #magicalforest #childrensillustration #kidsillustration #freelanceillustrator #publishing #illustration #books #childrensbook #childrensbooks #childrensbookillustrator #illustrator #picturebooks #ilustratedbook #chidlrensbook #chidlrensbooks

REPOST: Trying my best to understand how to use oil pastels, it has been a very fun but frustrating process so far. Any advice on how to utilize this medium is greatly appreciated!
