The Illustration Ideas Review

$250.00

For authors who have the words but aren't quite sure what the pictures could become.

Your manuscript is finished, but every time you imagine the illustrations there are too many possibilities or none at all.

As an artist and children’s book creator, I’ll read through your manuscript specifically through a visual storytelling lens and brainstorm ideas for how your words could begin to live on the page.

This isn't an illustration service and doesn't include finished artwork. Instead, think of it as a creative brainstorming session on paper, giving you possibilities and direction before you begin illustrating or approach an illustrator.

Your review may explore:

  • Illustration ideas for individual pages or scenes

  • What could be shown rather than explained in the words

  • Visual storytelling opportunities

  • Character ideas and personality

  • Settings, environments and atmosphere

  • Colour, mood and general artistic direction

  • Interesting perspectives and compositions to consider

  • Page-turn opportunities

  • Visual humour and storytelling details

  • Recurring elements or little hidden details children could discover

  • Ways the pictures could add something more to the story rather than simply repeating the text

The goal isn't to decide exactly what every illustration must look like. It's to open up possibilities and help you see the visual world your story could become.

Includes up to 15 illustrative ideas
