This prompt really challenged me, but I wanted to try something new and explore other themes and genres as I build my portfolio. This took me a lot of time because I really wanted to mimic a pencil-like effect, drawing strand by strand. #bookcoverconcept #bookillustration

Joining @scbwi monthly prompt challenge has officially become part of my routine, and for January, the prompt is “dream.” Here’s my illustration. I hope you like it. #SCBWIDrawthis #childrensbookart #kidlitart #childrensbookillustrations #childrensbookillustrator

Hello, this is one of my latest artworks for the Wintery Woods Challenge. I imagined a cozy bakery cottage by the snowy forest, where friends gather. I plan to turn this one day into a full story I can pitch. #kidlitart #kidsbookillustration #childrensbookillustrator #kidlit

Hi, I’m Darlee (I go by @happylee) 👋✨ I’m a children’s book and book cover illustrator, and I’ve illustrated 10+ books for self-published and indie authors. I also know my way around KDP print setup (sizes, bleed, file prep), so I can help your story move smoothly into print.

Bear + Pie = heart-melt. 🥧🐻 My cozy fall piece for SCBWI #Artober x #Peachtober celebrating imperfect bakes and perfect moments at home. #KidLitArt #Illustration
