Hello my name is Farida Zaman. I am an author illustrator and my agent is the lovely Essie White of @stormliteraryagency. . . . ⭐️I am open for book projects for 2026 ⭐️ . . . #kidlit #kidlitartpostcard #illustration #art #illustrationforkids

The prompt for today for the #lillasstyleplay2025 is A SARDINE CAN I worked with a combination of gouache and watercolour for this one and finished it off digitally.

Such a fun prompt but only had tome to do one candy packaging for #lillastyleplay2025 prompt - A CANDY Bar FROM A DIFFERENT COUNTRY. Meiji Chocorooms Chocolate Mushrooms are from Japan.

Sharing some food and beverage/coffee illustrations I created this summer on my iPad. I can see them on kitchen textiles☺️ . . . . #ipadart #procreate #foodillustrations #packaging #illustration #theydrawandcook

This a painting of a tablescape I created recently for a wall art client upon request by my wonderful agents @wildappleart. The theme is a Mediterranean meal of seafood. Done with a combination of gouache,watercolour and acryla-gouache.

I spent the past couple of days testing out different techniques with watersoluble materials. The first one is my latest one that I said yesterday. Doing it in my sketchbooks makes it feels less precious which gives me permission to just play.

This is a delicious page of summer ice cream treats! I have a soft spot for ice cream deserts and summer time is when I don’t hold back! Created in procreate. . . . #foodillustration #illustration #procreate #procreateart #ipadartwork

It’s such a joy to see my work in a finished product like this one here, many thanks for sending me samples @picturausa . I did a pair of sail boats upon request by my lovely agent @wildappleart and has been licensed for wall art and now ok greeting cards. The medium here is acrylics.

Some more flowers to pair it off with yesterday’s piece. The style goes well with the vintage looking teapot. . . . #procreate #flower #illustration #greetingcard #theydrawandgarden

I love the way these flowers and teapot have turned out, good contrast against black. Procreate is great in that way because it allow testing different colours for backgrounds on a separate layer below. . . . #procreate #flower #illustration #greetingcard #theydrawandgarden

Who doesn’t like cake??? I love drawing and creating food images especially when I get to add fresh fruits! Medium: Procreate. . . . . #foodillustration #cookbookart #procreate #ipadart #theydrawandcook #dessert

I baked this blueberry strawberry crumble last week and decided to illustrate it along with the recipe and share it here. It’s one of my favorite summer treats—simple, delicious, and full of color. Made in my kitchen, drawn in Procreate.

Introducing my latest obsession: Cucumber Mint Limonade! Fresh, crisp, and just the right kind of tangy to keep you cool on hot days. I blended up cucumber, lemon juice, mint leaves, a dash of honey, and lots of ice — the result? Summer in a glass!

Just finished a set of beachy icons—created in Procreate! Think flip flops, sun hats, and icy treats—all with a splash of summer joy. Perfect for prints, stickers, or just dreaming of warmer days. Which one’s your fave?

Painting flowers feels like a meditation for me , keeps me in the present moment. Here are a few I painted this week. My medium is watercolour and inks.

Painting in the most beautiful setting ever! At our friends @frankscarole place celebrating a 40 year university reunion celebration with my husbands friends in Stonegate, East Sussex. We spent the whole afternoon soaking in the beautiful setting of Carol and Ian’s garden.
