Happy #worldbookday and #KidLitArtPostcard day. I'm a Children's Book illustrator represented by Lynnette Novak & The Seymour Agency. I love drawing children and animals. This is a spread from a book I've been working on.

100 Little Lambs is an adorable book I helped illustrate. It just came out for presale. I'm so excited to get my copy and see it in print. https://t.co/ekqKIk5QRP

A floating ship that's also a castle... I was a little nervous when I heard the idea, but after a lot of sketching, I love how this turned out.

It's been about 6 months since this book was finished. I loved drawing Luna, such a cute kitty🥰

It's snowing outside and it makes me miss gardening. 😆 Come back soon summer.

I'm excited for 2024! Santa brought me a new iPad for Christmas, I can't wait to see what kind of artwork I'll be able to create with it!
My pencil took an unfortunate run through the laundry this past weekend, so I will also receive a new Apple pencil. 😅

A little Christmas illustration of one of my favorite cities.

2023 was the year of children’s books apparently. I didn’t even realize I did this many but I definitely reached my goal for the year.
I felt a bit stagnant for the past few years but all these projects really got me out of my comfort zone.
I’m excited for 2024!

One of my favorite things about Christmas is the lights. 🥰 This illustration is based on the Festival of Lights at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Washington D.C. Temple. It was a peaceful and beautiful place that left a lasting impression.

For all the students and teachers trying to make it to Christmas break. 🎄

@gillianthreeG Such a pretty use of colors and textures 😍

[Danika Runyan @DanikaRunyan]

I finished up this book this time last year. It was a wonderful project and I learned a lot about how to draw different kinds of animals. You can find the book on Cedar Fort's Publishing website.

One of my summer projects, I loved drawing Luna and all the children with her.

Practicing a fun marker-like style with these spot illustrations. It's always interesting to test out new textures. Sometimes it turns into a train wreck but these turned out better than I'd hoped for. 😄
