Hello! I'm Erzsi, a self-taught illustrator from Hungary, now based in Vienna, Austria.
I drew a lot as a child, and I kept coming back to it in my teenage years and twenties, but I started drawing again regularly in sketchbooks only after the birth of our second child almost ten years ago. I soon discovered that it is the narrative I enjoy most in illustration, and in 2025 I took the Picture Book Illustration course by the Good Ship Illustration which gave me a push to finally channel my drawing practice and put together a portfolio for my illustrations.
I work with traditional media including stamps, watercolour, pastels, gouache, coloured pencils and collage, combined with digital editing. I enjoy drawing the world around me, particularly people, with all their quirks and peculiarities- the sketchbooks I keep filling with life drawing and drawing on location are a constant source of inspiration for my illustrations.
