Fun in the flowers 🌺🌼 I always feel so much brighter when the sun is out and the flowers start to bloom! What about you? #kidlitart #sunshine #flowers #dinosaur #kidlit #illustration

Happy Valentine’s Day from these loved up jellyfish 💕 #illustration #kidlitart #illustrationartists #illustrationoftheday #childrensbooks #valentines #valentinesday

It’s amazing what a cardboard box, a lot of glue and an imagination can make 🚀 #illustration #illustrationartists #childrensbooks #childrensbookillustration #kidlit #cute #picturebook #picturebookillustration #childrensillustratorsart #sketch #wip

#ccverditerblue this unicorn would’ve loved rainy Essex today! #illustration #kidlitart #kidlit #art #procreate #unicorn

Think this panda needs a better name - any ideas? A made up cover - I thought this little panda could teach you Spanish as he discovers a city for the first time - so maybe oso (Spanish for bear) works well? #illustration #spanish #panda #kidlitart #procreate #kidsbooks #childrensbooks

Had my first ever hot cross bun today - not a fan of raisins so it’s a chocolate and toffee one. Toasted it with butter on one half and chocolate spread on the other 😋 How’s does everyone else have theirs? #hotcrossbun #cute #kidlitart #kidlit #illustration #art #doodle #easter #chocolatespread

Better late than never… Joining in with Colour Collective’s weekly challenge with Canary Yellow 🐰 I’m so indecisive about what background colour I like best! What’s your favourite? #kidlitart #art #illustration #kidlit #colour

January is just a practice month for the rest of the year! Go easy on yourself. It's allowed. 👀✨ #creativeslife #creativeboom

Inspired by the chilly weather recently! The snow missed us in Essex but up in the Peak District last week we caught a little bit of it! Has it snowed where you are? #illustration #kidlit #kidlitart #picturebook #snow

Taking down the Christmas lights is a complicated job.. #christmas #newyear #kidlitart

QRT with the piece you’re proudest of for 2024! Mine is my first picture book by @hachettechildrens.bsky.social with the amazing author Rosey Davidson ⭐️ Special mention to the last book in the @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social series released this year, which was my first ever published work! 🐞

As we move into the holidays, please remember: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids, talking about books, making books central to everything you do. Never stop changing their lives! #literacy #EduSky #books

A cat from my first ever book and my most recent 🐈

#artvsartist #artvsartist2024 A mish mash of work including from 2 of the 4 published books I had this year - crazy to say! Everyone I have worked with this year has been so genuinely lovely, I’m looking forward to all the future work and the books publishing in 2025! 🎉 #kidlitart #artist #kidlit

Channelling wintery forest vibes with this. Always been so inspired by the visuals of the movie Klaus, definitely inspired me with this. I highly recommend it for those that haven’t watched it! ❄️ #kidlitart #klaus #christmas #illustration

Donut dog and gingerbread dog! A lot of my dogs are stealing food… 😅

Monday sketching ❄️ #kidlitart #procreate #illustration

Oh I love this. Take risks. Do things differently. Break rules. Love this so much.

This was supposed to be a timelapse but I wasn’t recording 🤦‍♀️ #kidlitart #procreate

I got my first PLR payment today - a very exciting milestone! 📚🎉 #plr #kidlitart #library

Nobody will notice if a couple presents go missing, right? 🎁🤫

Reading that only 35% of 8-10 yr olds in the UK read for pleasure is heartbreaking. Books were a huge comfort to me as a child, and the reason I do what I do now is because a book captured my imagination so much it lit a fire in me. It's just very sad, and I really hope it improves.

Reposting for #kidlitartpostcard day! Looking for new projects for the new year! ☺️

What is it about December that makes me want to bake gingerbread all day? Also where can I get those Christmas tree earrings?? 🎄🎄

Resisting the urge to bake gingerbread all day as I have to be an adult and do work

How I feel knowing it’s December! 🌲 🎉 #December #Christmas

Art drawn by people who very rarely make art and think they are “bad at art” is 1000x cooler than AI art. It’s life-affirming. It’s often unexpected. I cannot overemphasize how much I love when people just go for it. You do not need the machine for this human endeavor.

Hello all! My name is Sophie and I’m an illustrator from rural Essex rep’d by the Bright agency! I’ve worked with Ladybird, Hachette, Scholastic to name a few! 📚 I love travelling, (I’m often known to fly in and out of a country in a single day) cooking, and tending to my plants!
