I’m Wouter Pasman and I’m a freelance digital illustrator and designer for children’s books, educational school material, board games and more.
I’ve illustrated before I ventured into children’s books. I have 10+ years’ experience working as a graphic designer and illustrator for several design studios in the Netherlands and abroad.
But my kids helped me discover the children’s book world. Because of them I bought and read a lot of children’s books over the years and watched a lot of Disney and Pixar movies. All those colourful and meaningful stories made me interested in becoming a children’s book illustrator. It is a powerful tool to inspire kids and adults at the same time.
I didn’t attend art school, because I started my career as a marketer and graphic designer. It helps me now, because I have a strong knowledge of all technical terms and conditions for digital and print publishing (and marketing, brand strategy and identity development).
I’ve learned to be a children’s book illustrator by following great courses at Schoolism, Society of Visual Storytelling and Aaron Blaise (former animator/illustrator for Disney). I gained a lot of knowledge in terms of storytelling, composition, perspective, character creation, colouring and other important fundamentals.
I’m also addicted to collecting art related books. From Color and Light by James Gurney, Perspective made easy by Ernest R. Norling to almost everything 3Dtotal Publishing has to offer (:
