How can we work together?

Illustrating and designing any kind of book can be a long process. Depending of the project it can take from 4 to 8 or even 12 weeks. My work depending of the style you choose it can be hand drawn, collage or digital, but any style it will always ends up into digital using the scanner or professional photos. My routine is very simple.  After our initial conversation, and confirmation that you would like us to work together, I will send you an email outlining the agreed cost and deadlines.Before I can get started, I normally ask for few things. I will need the professionally edited manuscript, page size, specifications from your printer/publishing company and the number of pages. Some of the other things we will also discuss is how you visually see the ideas for your book.This are some of the quick and easy steps I normally follow to bring your stories or ideas into illustrations.

1.
The Story

2. Brainstorm Sketching

Once I have the basic design and outlines, I then email you a PDF with all the illustrated pages complete with text layout. This is a wonderful way for you to visualise your book and also will help you to spot things you would like to change. If changes or adjustments need to be made, this is the easiest stage to do so.

5.
Sketch into illustration

6.
Approve

Having the outlines and design approved, we can move to the next stage, colouring the illustrations. I usually check with you if you are happy with the colour pallet.  As each illustration is complete I will send a small jpeg for you to view and approve before moving to the next stage.

3. Your feedback

4.
Create a PDF copy 

In the last stage, the high quality illustrations are all send to you via e-mail in a file type of your choice.
 What is going to be the cost?
Each project is completely different, all depends of the level of detail and number of characters in the story, so it can be very difficult to estimate an exact figure. We are affordable, and we deliver professional illustrations that won’t break the bank.  If you are interested and happy to contact us to let us know your requirements,  we will send you via email  prices and our terms and conditions.   
Usually we take payments in 3 or 4 instalments via PayPal. The first payment is taken when the project start. The second payment is taken after approval of the line work. The third payment is taken once the illustrations are finished and sent to you via email. The fourth payment it will be just if you want the work printed and made as a book.
