Ink & pencil
Black & white
Everyday moments told with just a line.

Watercolour
Away from the tablet, Liv paints small watercolours just for fun.
About Liv
Drawing since she was five
Liv has drawn since she was five. Then her parents told her to get a job, so she did, and raised two children along the way. When she came back to drawing, she came back with steadier hands and a better sense of humour.
She lives in Prague and draws mostly in Procreate on her iPad, as well as in ink and watercolour. She takes on picture books, activity books, book covers and character design, for publishers and for authors publishing on their own.
