I created a set of illustrations for the children’s book Fantastic adventures of Majka and Laika written by Aneta Wojnar. The book tells the story of a young girl Majka who loves learning and dreams of flying into space. She discovers world with her intelligent dog who shows her the science. The book aims to inspire young girls to pursue their dreams and develop their scientific skills.

Firstly, I started with making sketches to create a character design of Mrs. Oponka – a teacher who resembles a praying mantis. I tried to show the movement, emotions, and posture of the weird teacher.

I wanted to show the teacher’s energy and her craziness about science and experiments. The characteristic huge glasses of the teacher and green color refer to the praying mantis.
