FAQ
What do you need from me to get started?
Your story text or page descriptions, details about your characters (age, look, clothing), and any reference images or styles you like. The more detail you share, the closer the first sketch will be to your vision.
Can you illustrate my whole book?
Yes. I've illustrated full picture books of 20+ pages. Message me with your page count and story, and I'll send a custom quote with a timeline
Will my characters look the same on every page?
Yes. I create a character reference first and follow it on every page, keeping faces, clothing, and colors consistent throughout the book.
Do I see sketches before the final artwork?
Yes. I send a sketch for your approval first, so changes to layout or poses are made early, before the final watercolor coloring.
What files will I receive?
High-resolution, print-ready files (300 DPI) in JPG, PNG, or PDF, sized for KDP, IngramSpark, or your printer. Let me know your trim size before we start.
Can I use the illustrations commercially?
Yes
