Children’s book author and illustrator 🎨Looking for representation. Open for commissions. Just finished an MA in illustration focusing academically on gender stereotypes in picture books. Also learning to play the piano and the guitar 🎼❤️
I recently illustrated an all day event and I’ve had approval to share snippets of the final piece of work.
I’m now open for freelance work. If you have an event that you would like me to illustrate please get in touch. It can be in person or remote ❤️
Today I’m sketching a page of my latest book. I’ve been working on the characters and I’m starting to bring them to life in scenes from the story. Posting for my #just1sketch challenge. Why do you join in and post your sketches?

I’m working on more live illustration at the moment. This was a women’s health event. Thoroughly enjoyed creating this #liveillustration
A critique group can be a huge huge help to you. When you find a good one, it can be the most inspirational and motivational experience. I've just published a blog post about hints and tips on critiquing. Check it out on my substack page ❤️ #childrensbooks #childrensillustration #critiquing
published a blog post today about the plush toys I had made for my book The Revenge of Red Riding. A fabulous family team called @maua_gang made them and I couldn’t be happier ❤️ #illustration
It’s blog time again. Just published one about challenging books for children, explaining why I chose to produce a Red Riding retelling for my MA picture book project. Hope over to NaomiJaneCreates.substack.com to have a read.

I published another blog post today on substack.
I’m talking about a few illustrations I used in presentations at work this week and I’m now wondering why I didn’t draw a LOT more pictures at work until now.

My latest blog about my illustration journey. This time I’m talking about the survey I did as part of my MA last year plus a few other things like Emily Gravett’s book ‘little Mouse’s Big Book of Fears’ 😍
