Join illustrator Djamila Knopf on a magical journey through her life and art, including her Japanese inspiration and storytelling techniques.
About the author
Djamila Knopf was working as an illustrator for gaming and books publishing until 2017, when she had an epiphany and dedicated herself to being an independent artist doing her own work. Mainly working digitally, Djamila was obsessed with 90s anime shows and anything else that had a fantastical twist to it, and her work today is an accumulation of these early influences. She is also an instructor for the online art school Schoolism. Djamila lives and works in Leipzig, Germany, surrounded by beautiful historical buildings and greenery. When she's not drawing or painting, Djamila enjoys karaoke, bouldering, and traveling.
