I will draw whimsical children story book illustration and cover

A full 24-page picture book usually runs $1,200 to $2,000, depending on detail and character count. Single illustrations start at $65, a cover with character design around $250. Send your manuscript and page count for an exact quote, free, before you order.

Yes. We start with a character design sheet showing your character from several angles and expressions. You approve it before we draw a single page. That same character then carries through every spread, the cover, and any future books.

Yes, we illustrate books in any language. We regularly work on German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Arabic and Indonesian manuscripts. Send it in your own language and we’ll discuss the story with you in that language too.

Yes. We plan each spread around your actual text, including longer German words, accented type, and right-to-left scripts like Arabic. Send the text with your manuscript and we’ll compose the artwork so nothing gets crowded or covered.

Yes. We set your files to your exact trim size with proper bleed and safe margins, 300 DPI CMYK. For the cover we calculate spine width from your final page count and paper type, so the full wrap fits on the first upload.

Every line is drawn by hand. No AI, no clipart, no stock art. This matters most for character consistency, which is exactly where AI-generated art tends to fall apart across a full book.

Yes, most of our clients are first-time authors. We’ll walk you through each stage: character design, page planning, illustration, then the print-ready files. You never have to guess what happens next.

Just your manuscript and a rough idea of your page count. References or a mood board help, but aren’t required. If you’re unsure about the style, we’ll suggest a direction and send a free sample sketch first.

Revisions are free during the sketch stage, that’s where changes are cheapest and fastest. Once you approve a sketch and we move to final colour, larger changes like a new pose or a rebuilt background are quoted separately.

No. We also take single illustrations, book covers, character design sheets, sample pages, and spot illustrations. Many authors start with one cover or character, then continue with the full book later.
