Karina Monakhova Illustration

Welcome to Karina Monakhova Illustration — a channel dedicated to travel, architectural, botanical and nature illustration, illustrated maps and book cover art.

I’m Karina, a professional freelance illustrator working with clients across Europe, the US and worldwide. On this channel, I share the creative process behind my illustrations — from research and initial sketches to colour, details and the finished artwork.

Here you’ll find:

• behind-the-scenes illustration processes
• travel and architectural artwork
• illustrated maps
• botanical, nature and food illustration
• book covers
• professional insights into freelance illustration

My work is created for publishers, travel and hospitality brands, cultural organisations, packaging, stationery, websites and private clients.
