Carly Allen-Fletcher, working under the name carlydraws, is a British freelance illustrator and author whose practice is rooted in the intersection of science and art. A graduate of Loughborough University, she constructs her imagery through a hybrid process that layers digital painting with traditional media, handmade elements, and rich, painted textures to produce high-contrast, graphic compositions. Her portfolio frequently examines the natural world through the lens of biological classification, as seen in her published works regarding biomes and the kingdoms of life. This analytical curiosity is balanced by her contributions to the tabletop roleplaying game community and the supernatural horror genre, a versatile range that earned her a silver award from the UK Association of Illustrators.

Her aesthetic is defined by the tension between sharp graphic silhouettes and organic, tactile textures. She utilizes high-contrast palettes to map out themes of nature and science, blending the precision of a naturalist with the atmospheric mood of supernatural storytelling.
