Clouds & Cupcakes – Children’s Book Illustration & Character Design
This portfolio project presents illustrations and character designs for a fictional children’s book. Clouds & Cupcakes combines playful characters, a soft color palette, and detailed scenes that spark imagination and comfort.
From early sketches to full double-page spreads, the project demonstrates how characters are visually brought to life. The goal was to create a warm, inviting world where children can explore stories and find joy in learning.
The work blends classic children’s book storytelling with modern illustration techniques, making it a strong example of children’s book illustration, editorial illustration, and character design for young audiences.
