Illustrator: Cennet Kapkaç
I’m a Turkey-based children’s book illustrator and character designer. I completed both my high school and university education in Fine Arts, where I received extensive training in a wide range of artistic techniques from traditional drawing methods to modern digital art practices.
Since 2012, I have been working professionally as an illustrator across various creative fields and projects. Throughout my career, I have collaborated with both publishing houses and independent authors, contributing to books that have been published internationally.
Over the years, I discovered that children’s books are where I feel the most creative, original, and connected to my work, which is why I chose to focus my career in this direction.
I truly love what I do. Creating artwork for children and becoming part of new adventures through storytelling is something I find deeply inspiring and enjoyable. I also genuinely enjoy collaborating closely with authors and publishing teams throughout the creative process.

Why Illustrate With Me...
I believe people enjoy working with me because I don’t see projects as “just work.” I see them as a shared creative journey. When an author shares the world they’ve imagined with me, my favorite part is adding my own creativity to that vision and bringing it to life together.
One of my strongest qualities is that I genuinely enjoy the collaborative process. I’m always open and flexible when it comes to communication and revisions. Even though I value creative freedom in my work and thankfully clients usually trust me with that freedom after seeing my portfolio I also care deeply about making sure the author or publisher feels truly happy with the final result.
Before finishing a project, I always make sure they are fully satisfied and emotionally connected to the work we created together. That’s very important to me.
Most of the time, these collaborations continue even after the project ends. Authors send me the printed books, stay in touch with me for future projects, recommend me to others, and often return for second or third books together. I really value that warm, sincere relationship.
I also have deep respect for authors who create entire worlds and stories from their imagination, and I love supporting those worlds through my art.
