Portfolio templates / Inkwell

Illustration portfolio template

Inkwell pins your drawings loosely to a warm paper background with strips of tape, beside a handwritten note in the margin. It feels like a studio wall, which is exactly where picture book editors and art directors like to find illustrators.

Drawings pinned to warm paper.

What Inkwell does with your work, and why it suits children's book illustrators.

  1. (01) A studio wall, not a grid

    Drawings sit at slight angles with tape at the top, so the page feels handmade without looking messy.

  2. (02) A handwritten touch

    A small note in the margin, set in handwriting, keeps the page personal without clutter.

  3. (03) Picture books and sketchbooks apart

    Collections keep finished commissions, books and sketchbooks in their own places.

  4. (04) Every drawing large

    Each work opens full size in a lightbox, so editors can see line and texture.

On every Semirare theme.
