🌷 Hello! I'm Meiko, an illustrator　

Edit Image Info

Nice to meet you! I'm Meiko working as an illustrator. Originally, after working at a manufacturer or energy-related research institute, I first learned about the fun of drawing pictures after getting married, transferred, and pregnant.

I received frequent wedding paper design requests from people around me, and I decided to start working as a freelance illustrator. Their sense of color has become popular, and they are active in a wide range of activities, such as working with companies such as books, web magazines, cosmetics, and Airbnb.

I am greatly influenced by the nature-rich life in Texas, England, and Ibaraki in my painting.

Gouache uses water to adjust the concentration like watercolor, but it is a paint that has a slightly different texture and color from transparent watercolor.
