More about cute illustration
Kittens. Bunnies. Unicorns. Puppies. The cult of cute is a cultural and aesthetic phenomenon that defies age brackets and generations, and many of us adore seeing and sharing cute characters.
However, it takes an artist highly skilled in character creation and the ‘art of cute’ to achieve success. Originality is key and while we know big eyes, expressive faces, fluffy textures and childlike innocence – with maybe a hint of cheekiness – are the building blocks of cuteness, this is a genre full of clichés and me-too imagery, which can fall flat.
Our cute style gallery includes illustrators with years of experience creating cute characters, as well as new artists with fresh styles who bring an exciting vibe to the genre.
