My Bio

I have been professionally illustrating the fantastical for over 10 years and drawing since I mastered fine motor skills at a wee age. While I enjoy all applications of illustration, I find book covers to be a special way to express deep concepts and narratives. I work with publishers and indie authors to create covers that have as much heart as the writing it represents. Covers are drawn digitally by hand with a tablet using classical painting methods of building light and shadow. I put a priority on world-building, compositional balance, and genre research. Each cover is a piece of artwork that stands on its own in addition to enhancing the stories they represent.

Hey everyone! I have some holiday deals on Etsy for you this year. All orders of $25 or more are 25% off, which is happening now until December 1. I will be closing my Etsy store for the winter after Dec 1, so hop on the early gifting train. It is possible that I will close it permanently as I decide whether or not to integrate my store directly into my website. It would be great to have all facets of my work in one spot, so we will see how it goes! My Etsy Store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CandiceBroersmaArt In other recent news, I opened an Instagram account again. I decided to give it another go as I try to build a bigger audience for my personal art. It’s such work to maintain, but on the plus side, you get to see even more of my sketches and process. Find me at my super clever handle @candice.mantis on Instagram! Please follow me for the love of algorithms.
