Childrens books

Hi there! Here’s a selection of images showcasing my work on children’s books. Over the past few years, I’ve illustrated 15 children’s books and about 10 children’s book covers. This includes activity books for schools, standard children’s books, novel covers, and more.

Process and price

Based on my experience, creating a beautiful children’s book involves the following steps:

Storyboard:
First, I create a sketch of the entire project, creating miniatures of all the pages to see how the text flows with the images. We can make significant changes at this stage.

Sketches:
More refined images of each page, allowing for possible changes.

Color Palette Design:
Choosing the perfect colors to bring the illustrations to life.

Finished Illustrations:
Digitized at 400 dpi for high-quality results, with a few small changes if needed.

Cover Design:
Creating an eye-catching cover, considering illustration, design, and formatting.

Formatting:
Creating the final file with everything put together, ready to send to a printer or upload to Amazon KDP.

Estimated Timeframe

2 to 4 months, divided into weekly milestones.

Estimated Price

$2000 to $3000 USD, depending on the style, technique and number of pages.

Payment

I usually work with weekly deliveries and weekly payments via PayPal.

If you’d like to work with me, feel free to send a message to carlabms@gmail.com, telling me a bit about your book.

Maybe we could create a wonderful book together!
