About this gig

Need dramatic black-and-white scratchboard illustrations for your children's storybook? I create striking artwork with luminous white marks, deep black areas, and textured details.

Scratchboard style uses fine scratched lines, bold contrast, and distinctive textures to bring characters, animals, and story scenes to life. It suits folktales, woodland adventures, mysteries, fantasy stories, and children's book interiors that need a memorable monochrome look.

My services include:

  • Black-and-white scratchboard storybook illustrations
  • Animal and character artwork
  • High-contrast light and shadow
  • Fine scratched textures and detailed linework
  • Story scenes and atmospheric backgrounds
  • Consistent character designs across a set
  • High-resolution JPG or PNG files

I can work from your manuscript, scene description, sketch, or visual reference. For a series, I aim to maintain consistent characters and a cohesive scratchboard style.

Before ordering, share your scene details, character descriptions, preferred composition, and print dimensions. Contact me to discuss larger projects or special requirements.

I specialize in black-and-white spot illustrations for children's chapter books, early readers, and middle-grade stories. I create expressive characters, animals, objects, and story scenes that complement the text and engage young readers. My focus is on clean line art, consistent characters, thoughtful details, and print-ready artwork tailored to each manuscript. I work with authors to develop illustrations that fit their story, style, and publishing needs.
