First, we will need to know what style of illustration you want for your book. If you are not sure, we will advise you as to what art style is most appropriate for your target age range.

The next step is to know the story you want to tell. It is ideal to have, in addition to the manuscript, a description of each scene that needs to be illustrated. Details such as the location and description of the characters are very important. The more specific you can get with the descriptions, the easier it will be for our artists to deliver the exact picture that you envision for your book.

We can now begin to work on the project. First, we will provide sketches (usually done in pencil) to outline each scene of the book. At this stage, it is important that the scenes are reflected as you have imagined. This is a stage where we allow multiples revisions at no additional cost.

Then, we go on to inking and coloring the scenes. In this stage, the corrections are minor (since they will require re-drawing). At this stage, if you need major revisions to details or characters that were pre-approved, there will be an extra charge for this work.

Once the color stage is finished, the illustrations are delivered in the format you request.

At this point, we will need your book designing information from your printing press in order to ensure that we deliver the final PDF at the correct size.
