Hello! I'm Chris and I'm an illustrator and graphic designer based in Greece. I have about 5 years of overall experience. I graduated as a graphic designer in 2019 but have been drawing and working with illustration for years before that. I've also taken life-drawing classes in a private studio in Greece, learning fundamentals and taking my illustration skills a step further. My passion is to create vibrant and heartwarming illustrations that captivate the imaginations of the audience. I especially love working on children's illustration projects, crafting engaging and whimsical illustrations for picture books, storybooks, educational material as well as products. During my process, I've often created character design sheets as well, in order to develop unique and memorable characters that resonate with children and enhance storytelling. I'm also capable of creating concept art as well as storyboarding for books, in order to lead to a polished final artwork and ensure a cohesive visual narrative. If you're looking for a passionate children's book illustrator to bring your stories to life, I'd love to hear from you.

    uniE621 Children's Illustrated Story Book
    This is a personal project, still in development. The story of the book revolves around two little girls as they grow together, in a world that is set on separating them, because of their differences in background and status. It's a story of magic and love as well as our relationship to nature. I created the two main characters' designs, as well as a full illustrated spread and a cover.
