‘Am I the Loch Ness Monster?’ is a children’s book that I wrote and illustrated in 2019. The story follows ‘Lachlan’, a lonely creature who inhabits Scotland’s Loch Ness, on his quest to announce his existence to the world. This project tackles the themes of: loneliness, friendship and acceptance. The book’s illustrations were made using acrylic ink, paint markers and coloured pencils. This project allowed me to explore one of my passions, designing playful and colourful characters. Featured are the book’s front cover and examples of double-page spreads.
