Considered Lines
Enduring Work
Lily Cho Design creates bespoke hand-drawn illustration for those who value work made with intention — sketched from scratch, refined with care, and delivered without shortcuts.
Illustration made entirely by hand
From first sketch to final artwork — we draw illustration that solves real problems of story, audience, and visual direction.
Editorial Illustration
Hand-drawn from first sketch to final artwork — editorial illustration shaped around the story, the page, and the audience. Made to carry a piece, not just decorate it.
Bespoke Commissions
A limited number of custom commissions each year, sketched to brief, developed through review, and finished to your specifications. For projects that deserve something made entirely for them.
Publishing & Print
Cover art, interior illustrations, and full picture-book sequences — hand-drawn, reviewed across multiple rounds, and delivered in the formats publishers actually need.
Creative Collaboration
Collaborative work with art directors, designers, and brand teams — illustration shaped to a concept, with the same hand-drawn care as every other commission.
Four principles behind every piece
We don't just draw shapes. We make illustration — guided by four principles that define how we think, what we make, and how we finish every piece.
These aren't marketing words. They're the criteria by which we evaluate every decision, every composition, and every line we send out of the studio.
Start a Conversation →Elegant
Drawn with restraint — every line considered, every excess removed. Elegance is the result of discipline, not decoration.
Crafted
Measured by what carries the work. Every line and composition is tied to how the piece will actually be used.
Personal
Drawn around the project it lives in — its story, its audience, its tone. Nothing is generic by default.
Classic
Every piece is sketched, refined, and reviewed before a single final line is committed. Made to outlast the brief.
Drawn for the people who use it
We work with individuals, publishers, editors, and creative teams who share a commitment to illustration made with care — not volume.
Private Clients
People who want artwork made for them — a portrait, a personal commission, a piece for a specific space or occasion. Bespoke commissions available by private consultation.
Publishers & Editors
Cover art, interior illustration, and full picture-book sequences. We take on a small number of publishing commissions each season — developed with care and delivered to spec.
Editors & Art Directors
Editorial work for magazines, journals, and digital publications. Hand-drawn pieces shaped to a story or concept, turned around to publication deadlines.
Brands & Studios
Illustration commissions for brand campaigns, packaging, and creative studios. We work with teams who share a commitment to original work — direct relationships, no stock libraries.
