I've worked with Saqib for five months and found him helpful always, responsive always and more than just a artist. He's knowledgeable and patient and helped me struggle through the middle of a difficult and incompetent publishing company.

Despite facing challenges, the illustrator consistently went the extra mile to ensure the project's completion. Their dedication paid off tremendously, the book was a hit with kids, and we sold over 165 copies in just three days!

How We Create Your Children's Book Illustrations

Creating custom illustrations for children’s books is a Joint venture between the author and the children’s book illustrator. From getting to know your storybook vision to delivering the final professional print-ready children’s book, each step captures the heart of your story.

1

Free Consultation

We will begin by discussing your children’s book idea and its characters. After that, we’ll provide you with a simple form to help you describe your story and its scenes. We’ll also review the budget and timeline to ensure that everything is clear from the very beginning.

2

Creating the Illustrations

In this step, we carefully read your instructions and create a sketch for each scene. The sketch is shared with you for approval, and we make any changes you request. Once approved, we move on to coloring and share the final version of the children’s book illustration with you. You are welcome to request any color changes at this stage.

3

Designing the Book Cover

Once your illustrations are ready, we design the front, back, and spine of your book cover. Our children’s book cover design aims to be visually appealing, professional, and perfectly aligned with your story. It is fully optimized for all major self-publishing platforms, and you can request unlimited revisions until you are completely satisfied.

4

Formatting the Book

After completing the illustrations and cover, we format your book for eBook and print. We place the text and picture book illustrations in the correct order, with text on the left and artwork on the right. We also add the title, copyright, and dedication pages. If text needs to go on the illustrations, we handle that in Step 2.

Let's Talk Before We Start

Let’s connect and talk about your children’s book. In this meeting, we’ll go through the complete process, answer your questions, and discuss your ideas in detail. This is the perfect opportunity to ensure that we understand your vision before we start bringing your story to life.

Can you match a specific children's book art style?

Yes! Just share examples or references, and we’ll adapt to match your vision while keeping the illustrations original. If the style you’re looking for isn’t something we can perfectly match, we’ll be honest and let you know before starting the project.

Do you offer formatting services for children’s books on self-publishing platforms?

We work with both! Whether you’re an individual author self-publishing your first picture book for kids or a publishing company looking for reliable children’s book illustration services, we’re here to help. We’ve worked with first-time authors and established publishers alike.

How long does it take to complete a children's book illustration project?

We work with both individual authors and publishing companies. Many of our clients are first-time writers, while others are established publishers. No matter who you are, we adapt our process to meet your goals and make your children’s book illustrations stand out beautifully.

Do you use AI to create children's illustrations?

Absolutely not. We’re proud to be a professional team of storybook artists who create every children’s book illustration on digital canvas. Every illustration is 100% human-created with zero AI. We believe the best children’s book illustrators bring a human touch, warmth, and genuine creativity that AI cannot replicate.

Can you match a specific art style?

Absolutely! If you have a particular children’s book illustration style in mind, or examples you love, we can create a personalised children’s book illustration that matches it. Just share your references during our consultation, and we’ll match the style you’re looking for.

What techniques and tools do you use to create children’s book illustrations?

We use advanced software such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Procreate, Krita, and other top creative platforms to create high-resolution children’s book illustrations, print-ready book layouts, and beautiful book covers.

What files will I receive?

You will receive high-resolution, print-ready files (usually in JPG and PDF formats). We also provide files optimized for eBook platforms and, if needed, PSD files of children’s illustrations as source files.

How do you communicate with clients during the project for updates?

We stay in touch through email or chat, sharing sketches and progress updates regularly. You’ll always know where your project is and what comes next.

What is the “test drive” offer?

Before committing to the full children’s book project, you can get your main character illustrated for just $40. This helps you see our style and build confidence in working together.
