Łobuziary. Najfajniejsze bohaterki literackie.

Łobuziary. The Coolest Literary Heroines is an illustrated children's book featuring 30 exceptional literary heroines who decided to go their own way. Łobuziara means a mischievous girl or woman who takes her fate into her own hands and fights for the life she desires.

This book features 30 courageous heroines from various books—some very well-known, others almost forgotten. My task was to create their portraits. Above all, I tried to capture their character and filter it through the prism of my own perspective.

Some portraits were more challenging because, like Little My, Hermione Granger and Pippi Langstrumpf,

they already had familiar and iconic visual representations.
