Sophie Kent Illustration @sophiekent.bsky.social · Dec 2

Hello all! My name is Sophie and I’m an illustrator from rural Essex rep’d by the Bright agency!
I’ve worked with Ladybird, Hachette, Scholastic to name a few! 📚
I love travelling, (I’m often known to fly in and out of a country in a single day) cooking, and tending to my plants!

I remember reading somewhere that old tennis balls from Wimbledon were reused as little mouse habitats, I like that idea 🐭 🎾

I’m very happy/scared/excited to say that I am moving from the UK to Australia in the next few weeks! 🇦🇺

I may be a bit scarce on here as I make this massive move whilst still juggling projects on the go ☀️

A peak inside my process - from rough flow line thumbnail, to rough sketch, to neater sketch, to colour sketch, to polished spread! I love looking back at the original thumbnail and comparing it to the end result!

Throwback Thursday! An unseasonal Christmassy throwback. It’s crazy how much of a difference 5 years makes. 🎁🌲

Scroll for some insight into the character design process for this project.
This was my first customisable book, so it needed lots of different options for personalisation, such as different hairstyles and clothing options.
