The Things Around Me is a personal project based on an illustration I originally created for an early childhood educational publication. A few years later, I revisited the piece with the intention of exploring it more freely, deepening my studies in character design, digital painting techniques, visual composition, and narrative storytelling. What had started as a classroom brief evolved into a more personal and expressive work.
In addition to functioning as a visual storytelling piece, the illustration also highlights its versatility when applied to children's products, such as search-and-find puzzles, combining learning, play, and focus development in an engaging and playful way.
