Welcome to my illustration process!
I love creating pictures that spark wonder and bring children’s stories to life. If you’ve ever wondered how a simple idea becomes a finished picture book, I’d love to show you.

1. Gathering Information:
I start by learning about your story. Please share your text and any references or ideas you have. This helps me understand your vision.

2. Storyboarding:
Next, I make simple sketches to plan each page. This helps us see how objects and characters fit into the story.

3. Character Design:
Characters are very important. I design each one to look and feel just right for your story, making sure they connect with young readers.

4 Detailed Sketches and Color Palette:
With the storyboard and characters approved, I'll move on to creating more detailed sketches for each page. You can review and suggest changes before the final art begins.

Final Illustrations:
Once sketches are approved, I finish the artwork. We can check each illustration together, or you can see them all at once when they’re done.
I pride myself on delivering illustrations that surpass expectations and transport readers to captivating worlds. By following this structured process, I aim to create a harmonious collaboration that brings your stories to life in a visually captivating and enchanting manner. Your satisfaction and the connection with your readers are my ultimate goals.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or specific preferences. Together, we can create a masterpiece that will delight and inspire young minds.
