I'm a huge fan of Robert Eggers' films, so I've made a film poster inspired by his long-awaited version of Nosferatu.

Last week I went to a magic show at @houdinimadrid and the atmosphere was amazing. I couldn’t resist to make an illustration about it #illustration #magic #fiction #picturebook #childrensbook #victormedina https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpk4v1cKKFd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’ve made this illustration as a tribute to The Little Vampire saga, which I’m very attached to. I still remember picking up those books in the school library and how they immersed me in a universe I never wanted to leave. I thought it would be interesting to show you the sketch and some of the images I used as reference. All the pictures were taken during a recent visit I made to the cemetery, in which I was able to investigate some of the oldest gravestones. It was very inspiring, I’ll show you the full process soon! #illustration #thelittlevampire #picturebook #childrensbook #vampire #fantasy #graveyard #cemetery #rudiger #annavonschlotterstein #dorothee #victormedina #ilustracion #libroilustrado https://www.instagram.com/p/CoUg02gqAtA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’ve just made a new stamp for my online shop 🥂 #illustration #shop #prints #stamp https://www.instagram.com/p/CneY3jyqPc3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

After a long process I can finally show you this illustration I’ve made inspired by the book “Thorn Rose”, an old version of The Sleeping Beauty written by The Brothers Grimm and illustrated by Errol Le Cain. I wanted to give it a medieval look, and I’ve taken a lot of inspiration from old illustrators like Errol Le Cain himself, Kay Nielsen, Eyvind Earle and Ivan Bilibin. I have some secondhand books from them and they are all amazing 🤩 I’ll show you the full process in a new post soon #illustration #picturebook #childrensbook #thornrose #thesleepingbeauty #grimmfairytales #fiction #books #victormedina https://www.instagram.com/p/ClWgZdnqzcU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Beyond the Abyssal Zone there’s only mystery and darkness 🌌 Who knows what animals are yet to be discovered? This is the last illustration I’ll show of the Dig and Discover project, books will be available in the stores soon! It has been fun illustrating some of the most iconic animals and locations of our planet. #illustration #picturebook #childrensbook #kids #kidslitart #sea #dephts #nature #childrensbookillustration #illustrator #ilustracion #libroilustrado #ilustrador #victormedina https://www.instagram.com/p/CZxLZikLZkR/?utm_medium=tumblr

We dive deeper into the Twilight Zone ⚓️ Only a small amount of light penetrates beyond this depth, and animals use bioluminescence to survive in this area. #illustration #picturebook #childrensbook #kids #kidslitart #sea #dephts #nature #childrensbookillustration #illustrator #ilustracion #libroilustrado #ilustrador #victormedina https://www.instagram.com/p/CZb-gZcqBMQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Very first scene of Deep Dark Sea! The book starts at the top of the ocean, and every page you turn it goes deeper and deeper. #illustration #picturebook #childrensbook #kids #kidslitart #sea #dephts #nature #childrensbookillustration #illustrator #ilustracion #libroilustrado #ilustrador #victormedina https://www.instagram.com/p/CZJkLntKaoQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Finally this is the third and last title of the Dig & Discover series, in which I’ve been able to illustrate some of the weirdest and most mysterious creatures from the sea 🦑 I’ll show you some illustrations very soon. #illustration #picturebook #childrensbook #kids #kidslitart #sea #dephts #nature #childrensbookillustration #illustrator #ilustracion #libroilustrado #ilustrador #victormedina https://www.instagram.com/p/CY4XIXaK8HT/?utm_medium=tumblr

In this post I show you another spread with its corresponding scrath scene. Illustrating the same scene after millions of years has been challenging and fun. #illustration #picturebook #childrensbook #kids #kidslitart #dinosaurs #cretaceous #childrensbookillustration #illustrator #ilustracion #libroilustrado #ilustrador #victormedina https://www.instagram.com/p/CYjybUWKqFr/?utm_medium=tumblr

Another illustration from the Dinosaurs Dig & Discover title. This time, the page was about the flying reptiles of that period of time. #illustration #picturebook #childrensbook #kids #kidslitart #dinosaurs #flying #childrensbookillustration #illustrator #ilustracion #libroilustrado #ilustrador #victormedina https://www.instagram.com/p/CYRzFzdqSvv/?utm_medium=tumblr

The second title of the Dig & Discover series features some of the most famous dinosaurs that roamed the Earth 🦕 I illustrated the same characters in all the covers and inside the digging spreads, I’ll show you what’s inside of this book soon! #illustration #picturebook #childrensbook #kids #kidslitart #dinosaurs #childrensbookillustration #illustrator #ilustracion #libroilustrado #ilustrador #victormedina https://www.instagram.com/p/CXtlZaPKt8w/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is the spread I made for Ancient Rome in the Dig & Discover series. I thought it would be a nice idea to add columns to the frame, and I really enjoyed illustrating iconic elements like the amphitheater and the charioteer. In the next post I’ll show you the cover of the next title from the series, and I’ll continue uploading more spreads! #illustration #picturebook #childrensbook #rome #ancientrome #books #kidslitart #adventure #archaeology #ilustracion #libroilustrado #albumilustrado #ilustrador #victormedina https://www.instagram.com/p/CXeA5n5Iu26/?utm_medium=tumblr
