Varvara Razakova, an illustrator from Moscow

I specialise in children’s book illustration. Over the years I’ve illustrated books and children’s projects for publishers including Samokat, Clever-Media, Alpina.Deti, Smart Reading, and Teller Publishing.

I love dense, detailed illustrations with many connections between characters inside a single image — which is probably how wimmelbooks became my speciality. I always start from the contour: I’m devoted to graphics, engravings, and technical drawing, and I feel most at home working with line.
