Zoe Sophia on Daily Drawing, Creature Design, and Building Creature Nation

Zoe Sophia is a Swiss-American illustrator and digital artist known for her imaginative creature characters and playful world-building. Over the past ten months, she has committed to drawing one original creature every day — a personal challenge that has grown into Creature Nation, an ongoing YouTube series with over 7,000 highly engaged subscribers and more than 1.1 million views. Her creatures emerge from wordplay, visual themes, and family lore, often inspired by her miniature dachshund, Esmé, her ultimate creature muse.
