What’s included.
Character and style studies
Explore character expressions, palette, and a style suited to the intended age.
Spread planning
Storyboard spreads so action, continuity, and page turns work across the book.
Finished picture-book artwork
Develop approved sketches into artwork using the agreed production specification.
Built around
your starting point.
For children’s authors who want a coherent visual world across a picture book.
Character studies and a spread-by-spread storyboard help the artwork carry emotion and continuity. We consider what the pictures can add beyond simply repeating the text.
Talk through your brief ↗Bring your questions.
And a little context.
For authors with a stable manuscript, a clear visual idea, or a book that needs its first design brief. Illustrated interiors may need earlier planning.
Clear decisions at each checkpoint.

Your questions, answered.
How does the art connect across spreads?
A storyboard tracks movement, recurring details, and page turns before final artwork begins.
What should I send for a quote?
For children’s book illustration, share your goals, any existing material, your intended audience, and the formats you need. Mention any deadlines so feasibility can be discussed.
What will I receive from children’s book illustration?
The proposed scope covers character and style studies, spread planning, finished picture-book artwork. Your written agreement confirms the file formats, handoff requirements and any exclusions before work starts.
