Alissa Lubrano

Hello, I'm Alissa Lubrano from Rotterdam, the Netherlands. My digital illustrations reflect a sense of freedom, comfort, and coziness. By infusing emotion and connection into my work, inspired by everyday moments and the love I share with my mom and sister, my illustrations exude a personal and warm quality. With a touch of humor and a love for cats, my goal is to create art that brings a chuckle to your day, while also promoting representation and diversity, especially for children with curly hair like mine.

Illustrating for children's books and various projects, I thrive on collaborative efforts, engaging clients in the creative process through sketches to ensure we achieve the best results together. Clients appreciate the attention to detail in my characters and their interactions, drawn from a strong foundation in graphic design and concept art. My illustration process involves a series of quick sketches, refining chosen pieces with careful consideration of color theory, lighting, and texture to evoke familiarity, warmth, and a sprinkle of humor in each piece.

My passion for drawing began early, a lifelong journey that allows me to wander through my own universe, finding inspiration in the smallest of things and everyday experiences. When I am not drawing, I enjoy a perfect Sunday spent with my mischievous cat, Mister Miso, reading a book, and taking leisurely walks while cherishing moments with loved ones. Ultimately, I aspire to be remembered as an illustrator who brings joy and warmth to others, vividly breathing life into stories and creating art that people revisit for comfort and inspiration.
