FAQ
Can you illustrate an entire children's book?
Yes. I specialize in full children's book illustration, including character development, interior illustrations, spreads and cover artwork. Please contact me before ordering a full book so we can discuss the project and create a custom offer.
Can you keep the characters consistent throughout the book?
Absolutely. Character consistency is an important part of my process. I can develop character references before starting the final illustrations so the characters remain consistent throughout the book.
Can you work from my manuscript?
Yes. I can work from a finished manuscript and translate the story into visual scenes. If you already have ideas for specific pages or scenes, you can include those as well.
Do you provide print-ready files?
Yes. Print-ready files can be included depending on the package or added as an extra.
Can I use the illustration commercially?
Yes. Commercial use is included according to the terms of the selected package.
Can I see a sample before ordering the entire book?
For full book projects, we can discuss creating an initial character design or sample spread before moving forward with the complete book.
Do you illustrate books in a specific style?
My work has a distinctive children's illustration style, but I can adapt the visual approach to suit the story, characters and target audience. Please look through my portfolio to see whether my style is a good fit for your project.
