Hello there, It’s nice to meet you!
My name is Ysabel, I’m a freelance (mostly) digital illustrator, colour lover and all round crafty lass. I mostly work on children’s books, but I also love working on editorial and cover design projects. I’m originally from York, but now live and work in Edinburgh and when I'm not drawing or painting, I’m knitting up sweaters and socks!
I studied a masters in Illustration at Manchester Metropolitan University and have since gone on to work as a freelancer, some of the previous lovely clients I've worked with are The Manchester Poetry Library, The Tinderbox Collective and Juno Magazine.
If you’re curious about what you’ll gain by working with me, or are wondering what that might look like for you - you can read more about that here, or feel free to drop me an email, I’d love to chat!
Illustrations for fun lovers
“I collaborated with Ysabel on original artwork to accompany a selection of my poems. Not only is she super talented as an illustrator, responding to the brief with creativity, clarity and open-ness, she is also brilliant to work with. Communicative and willing to share and listen to ideas, she delivers materials promptly, rendering work that is thoughtful, playful and affecting. I could not recommend Ysabel more!”
