Independent

Book Illustrator

I was hired by an independent author to illustrate a children's book that was around 30 pages. The book informs young children about the Heimlich maneuver, how to perform it, and why people choke. The illustrations were done in watercolor and then scanned into the computer where Adobe Photoshop was used to adjust the color.

In addition to the illustrations I also laid out the entire book in Adobe InDesign.
