FAQ
Is your art Ai generated?
Nope! not even 0.1 %.
Will you mind if I ask for minor changes?
Yes, I'll block you right away... Just kidding, of course I can make changes without giving you any stress!
Can you do the formatting for the book?
Yes and this is how I do the formatting. • Arrange text and images in print-ready spreads • Ensure proper bleeds and margins • Provide print-proof PDFs
Can you give me a special quote for the entire book?
Sure, please DM, I'll give a custom quote and you can always add more illustrations later! I offer flexible add-ons at the per-image rate as your original package.
Do you work with publishers or self-publishing authors?
Both! I’ve collaborated with publishers and indie authors, delivering professional, market-ready illustrations. 3 of them won multiple awards as well.
Can you create illustrations in a specific color palette to match my book's theme?
Absolutely! I'll work with your preferred color scheme and can provide color samples before starting. Many authors choose soft pastels for bedtime stories or vibrant primaries for educational books.
How do you ensure characters remain consistent throughout the book?
I create character style sheets showing multiple angles/expressions before illustrating your book. This guarantees visual consistency across all pages - crucial for young readers.
Do you provide sketches for approval before final painting?
Yes! Every illustration begins with pencil sketches you can review. I won't proceed to watercolors until you're completely happy with the composition.
Can you incorporate specific cultural elements or diversity in characters?
Definitely! I carefully research cultural details and pride myself on creating inclusive, representative illustrations that all children can relate to.
What age groups do your illustrations best suit?
My style adapts perfectly to: • 0-3 years (simple, high-contrast images) • 3-7 years (whimsical, detailed scenes) • 7-12 years (more sophisticated compositions)

I really like that Maham Ali has an option to purchase a “Character Sample”! Purchasing this option after talking to her really helped me visualize the character and see if she could illustrate what I was looking for and she did!
