Anuki López is an illustrator from Sevilla, Spain. She loves to illustrate books full of color, texture, love, animals, and, of course, kids. She has been drawing since she can remember, and her inspirations are natural elements, autumn colors, shapes and textures of nature, all kind of animals, and her favorite, dogs. When she’s not drawing, she loves to spend her time with her dog, Tanuki, knitting and crocheting, or being with her family and partner.
