I Draw On Super-Thin Black Paper To Make Underlying Structures Visible

I’m an illustrator based in Hamburg, Germany.

For this children’s book I used a special technique to incorporate structures from leaves, linen and various other objects with interesting patterns.

I drew with colored pencils on very thin black paper so the structures I placed under the illustration rubbed through!

I love to explore unique techniques like this to give my illustrations a distinctive touch and to find the right mood for each story.

I'm an illustrator based in Hamburg, Germany. I mainly illustrate children's books but also anything else that allows me to be playful and rich in detail in my work.
