With an expressive, colorful and cartoony style Steven John, is an illustrator specializing in character design and story art. Steven’s superpower is inventing characters, and rendering them larger than life.

What clients love most about Steven is that he is an expert at creating characters, and bringing them to life, using strong facial expressions, body language, and emotion. They are vibrant and intriguing.

What they also love is that he’s easy to work with, on schedule, and on budget, and that he solves problems and thinks of fun and surprising ways to communicate their ideas.

With a light, cartoony style, his work is perfect for the children’s market, game industry, toy industry, apps, educational, editorial, publishing, advertising and more.

His process starts with a quick rough and/or detailed sketch of the commission to show his clients what he has in mind when he responds to a brief. He then brings the imagery to life by creating clean lines, carefully choosing his color pallet, adding his final magical touches, that emphasize fun, excitement and the emotion desired, all before sending a copy of the commission.

Steven is proficient in Adobe Illustrator.
