Artist and Illustrator

Leila Nabih

Children's books and greeting cards.

How I work

Having written and illustrated children's books for a few years now, both for clients and for myself, I am currently re-evaluating the way I work. I am going back to traditional media and creating a new body of work to illustrate this change. My prefered media are coloured pencils, pastels and neocolours.I believe this tactile approach will be perfectly suited for whatever project comes my way in the future.

In the past, I have created art for greeting cards for various clients and illustrated children's picture books. You can find some of my recent children's books here below:

Holiday Hannah
Bear Loves Pears
The Colour of Words

Don't Let a Bear Do your Hair
