Children’s book illustrations by Janika Linninen – hand-drawn with ProMarkers

Hand-Drawn Illustrations with Heart

Every picture in the Pipa books is illustrated by Janika Linninen – drawn by hand with ProMarkers on high-quality paper. This gives each page its own unique feel, with warm lines, rich color, and a touch of character you can’t fake.

Janika’s artistic style is inspired by expressive, animated worlds like Zootopia – full of personality and detail. Every character has emotion. Every scene tells a story.

These are more than drawings – they’re moments of wonder, joy, and calm discovery.

From Sketch to Story – A Peek Into the Process

Each scene begins with pencil, flows through color, and ends in the pages of a storybook. Below are a few sample moments from Pipa’s world.

“Children notice the details. That’s why I draw every line by hand.”
