About Me

BIO

Hi! I’m Rocío del Moral, an illustrator based in Valencia, Spain.

I grew up in a tiny village where books arrived in a traveling library. Those borrowed stories and pictures sparked my dream of creating my own books.

I studied Fine Arts and Cartoon Animation, and I’ve been lucky to participate in several European programs that took me to France, Italy, and Belgium. I lived there for many years and even learned to speak a few languages along the way!

And here’s a fun fact: did you know that “rocío” means “dew”?

WORK

I have illustrated many children’s books and middle grade books in Spain and Belgium.

Although I work digitally, I continue sketching on paper.

With a passion for storytelling, what I like most is designing characters. I try to make them reflect emotions with a touch of humor.

Some clients who have trusted on my work:

De Eenhoorn, WPG, Die Keure, Pelckmans, Zwijsen, Van In, Horizon, Baeckens Books, Bromera, Planeta, Oxford University Press, Santillana, Edebé, Schrijfdans, Bosk
