I'm an illustrator,

I create whimsical illustrations to help writers fuel their readers' curiosity. I love to sprinkle in little extra details that make these fantastical worlds feel truly lived-in.

Hello! I'm Kayleigh.

margin doodler,

  The habit that drove my science teacher mad is one I've never grown out of. To this day there's scarcely a scrap of paper at home that I haven't doodled all over. Sorry, Miss.

& lover of fantasy.

When I'm not drawing, you can often find me under a blanket with a hot chocolate and a fantasy tale to get lost in, or rummaging for interesting mushrooms in the woods.

I work digitally using my trusty(ish) tablet, but a lot of my inspiration comes from traditional etchings and prints, and the nostalgia and magic of old illustrated storybooks.

My name is Kayleigh Webster and I've been illustrating professionally for 5 years. I currently illustrate children's books in-house at Twinkl Educational Publishing.

Thanks for stopping by, and if my work is up your alley, feel free to drop me a line!

My illustrations tend towards detailed linework and limited, bold areas of colour, to highlight what's really important while including all those little details that make the world feel truly lived-in.
