Hello!
I am a highly creative children’s illustrator who is able to work in a variety of media, including gouache, textiles and digital. I am also able to hand letter for a truly unique publication. I would love to hear all about your book project and unite our creativity to produce a beautiful children’s book in which the story and illustrations enhance one another for a seamless finish.
My illustration package is tailored for a 32-page picture book, including:
Cover illustrations
End paper illustrations
Title page illustration
15 double page spreads
The stages of the project include:
1. Rough Pencil Thumbnails - this step allows the author and illustrator to communicate on the direction and shared vision.
2. Detailed Pencil Roughs - this brings further clarity in the detail of the final illustrations, the author may provide their feedback once again.
3. Coloured Spread Sample - once the bones of the book have been laid down and approved, a colour spread sample is submitted to the author for to confirm progression to the last step.
4. Final Full Colour Artwork - the completed book provided as digital files (if any of the project included traditional mediums, then the hand illustrations will be scanned in 600dpi)
Copyright/licensing:
This provides the author with an exclusive 5 year license. All details will be clearly laid out in a contract.
Payment Schedule:
1. 30% Deposit to commence the project.
2. 30% Payment due when Colour Spread Samples have been approved.
3. 40% Remaining balance upon receipt of Final Full Colour Artwork Digital Files.
Timescale:
A children’s book typically takes around three months to complete, however extensive hand drawn or textile elements may extend the deadline.
Pricing:
The price stated is a starting point depending on the complexity of the project. Components such as hand lettering, textiles etc may attract an additional cost, however I am happy to discuss your individual requirements and customise your package as necessary.
