Julie Mellan’s love for art began the first day she could hold a pen. After earning a literary bachelor’s degree, she studied classic drawing, illustration, and animation in the French art school Ecole Emile Cohl. She’s pursued her love for children’s illustration since 2011, with her work appearing in more than a dozen children’s books. Her art portrays clumsy, cute animal characters in pencil sketch and watercolor.
