I am a professional children's book illustrator and book designer with 20 years of success in producing charming characters and the colorful worlds they live in, I am confident that you will be thrilled with the results and service you'll receive. How I like to work: What I usually do first is I will read over the manuscript . Next, I will do a character sketch of the main character. If you have any visions that you think the main character should look like you can let me know and I will be happy to create the character accordingly. Then I will send you the character sketch for approval. Once it is approved I will begin the black and white sketches. When they are completed I will forward them to you for approval. Once they are approved I will begin work on coloring them. Payments are broken down during this process.
