Petra Kneile

Hi, I'm Petra Kneile, a freelance illustrator from Germany. My work explores ideas with a love for detail, texture and visual narrative, combining traditional drawing techniques with digital finishing. I illustrate themes centered around humansranging from history to science, psychology and portraits—as well as nature topics.

With a background in fashion design and an MA Visual Arts (Illustration) from the University of the Arts London, I have worked in the creative industries for 15 years.

My practice includes life portraiture and teaching life drawing.


Clients include The Business of Fashion, Hårklinikken, Givenchy, Alexander McQueen, Byredo, Wedgwood, Calvin Klein Europe.
