A new addition of my newsletter is out today. I'm sharing one of my favorite illustrations that I refreshed once my skills leveled up. tinyurl.com/2t3axy6m #portfolioadvice #kidlitart

Back to the character series I started earlier this year. I love drawing fairies, especially with a regular kid look to them. I'd name her, but I'm terrible at that. Any suggestions? More fairies to come. #kidlitart #fairyart #magicalillustration #picturebookart

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! Hello Art Directors & Editors. I'm a published illustrator looking for Board Book, PB, Chapter, and MG projects especially with fun characters & wacky situations. Rep'd by Elizabeth Bennett, Transatlantic. www.LauraZarrin.com. #picturebookart #kidlitart

A gentle #kidlitart weekend reminder: #KidLitArtPostcard is coming up this Thursday, July 2nd! www.ginaperry.com/postcard

Reading is life. I always have a book with me. I read in line, I read while brushing my teeth. I'm always reading. My dad was too. He once told me about a co worker who would read while walking to work. Not sure how that's possible. Any fellow reading addicts out there?

It's a good time to post this again. All of my work is made by me with my own hands and no AI. If you're a human children's book illustrator (aspiring or working), I'm now offering portfolio reviews. Let me know if you'd like me to take look. www.zarrindesign.com/portfolio-re...

#repostyourart26day14 'yummy'. What could be more yummy than a homemade cake? #repostyourart26 #picturebookillustration #kidlitart

Today's #repostyourart prompt is 'artist'. Inspired by the Norman Rockwell self portrait. #repostyourart26day13 #picturebookillustration #kidlitart #halloweenart

#repostyourart26day12 'Cozy' What's cozier than this little scene? #repostyourart #kidlitart #picturebookillustration #tinyhouse

These Sleepy Shrimp were inspired by #kidlitartdrawingchallenge2026 I love seeing them tucked into their shell bed under a comfy quilt. Another experiment: IRL watercolor with Procreate pencil lines. #kidlitart #picturebookillustration #oceanillustration

This year has been a year of play. Trying new methods. New/old materials. II have no agenda other than to try. It's been so good to do this without the fear. Lately, it's been combining IRL watercolor with pencil lines In Procreate. It's fun! Meet Bookworm. #kidlitart #picturebookillustration

I'm participating in a fun, easy challenge #repostyourart26 hosted by @byjessicaelena. Today's prompt is 'light'. The movie projector fits that. I loved doing this piece with all the different animals & their expressions. #repostyourart26day9 #kidlitart #picturebookillustration

I tried a technique inspired by @sashamayer.draws from a @rizzyfig workshop. I overlayed a painting over my illustration in procreate. I'll definitely try this again! Thanks Sasha and Raissa! #addacharacter2026 #illustrationtechnique #kidlitart #picturebookillustration

I recently read a romance novel where the female main character was a flamingo zookeeper. The whole time I kept thinking about a flamboyance of flamingos. Of course, I had to draw one . . . as flamboyantly as possible. The book was JUST FOR THE CAMERAS by @meghanquinnbooks #flamingoart #kidlitart
