Frequently asked questions
Book Illustration
How long does it take to illustrate a book?
The timeline for illustrating a book typically ranges from 3 to 6 months, depending on the book’s length and complexity. This includes time for back-and-forth feedback to ensure the illustrations align perfectly with your vision.
For smaller books or projects with fewer illustrations, the process can sometimes be completed within 1 to 2 months.
I’ll work with you to establish a clear schedule at the start of the project so you’ll always know what to expect.
What is your pricing structure for book illustrations?
My pricing depends on the specific details of your book and project. Each story is unique, and I like to tailor the scope to suit both the client’s vision and my creative process.
I recommend reaching out so we can discuss your project in detail. Once I understand your needs—such as the number of illustrations, level of detail, and style—I’ll provide a customized quote that works for both of us.
By keeping pricing flexible, I can ensure every project receives the attention it deserves.
Can you help with the book’s layout design?
Yes, I can assist with the book’s layout design! This includes arranging the illustrations and text in a professional and visually appealing way.
There is a separate layout fee, and I also offer design services for the front and back cover, which can be included in the overall project. I’ll work closely with you to ensure the final layout aligns perfectly with your vision and is ready for print or digital publishing.
