The type of illustrations is very decisive for the look of your book and I understand that such a decision is not easy. That is why a real example drawing is super important and of course it is part of it before we can really start working on the book!

For this we first discuss together, what you would like to see as an example. Do you want to go for the main character or more of a situation sketch incl background? You can just say it…

Sample drawing successful? Great! Then we will start to plan the process to the complete book. We look at each page to see what text will be on it and how the illustration will fit in with it.

  • You will always receive a sketch with the detailed idea first, so that adjustments can always be made at an early stage.
  • This is followed by a drawing in which all details and specific wishes are clearly visible and if this is correct…
  • the complete colored illustration will follow, which can be placed directly in the book.

But text and illustrations together do not make a book you can hold yet… What happens next?

 

3. What is involved in the LAYOUT?

The text & drawings finally come together during the layout of the book! Here a lot of choices will have to be made, because now it is about the actual combining of everything together on the page.
