How the Children's Illustration Process Works

The illustration process for authors publishing children’s books is a creative collaboration with our expert team. From the moment your idea takes shape, our book publishing platform guides you through every step, ensuring the illustrations align with your vision. We provide a detailed illustration questionnaire to understand your style preferences—whether whimsical, naturalistic, cartoonish, or fantasy-inspired. You’ll also have access to our portfolio, which will help you choose the right illustration style.

Once the questionnaire is complete, our in-house illustrators will develop a sample illustration based on your feedback. We’ll refine this sample together until you’re satisfied with the design. Once approved, the remaining illustrations are completed, ensuring consistency and quality throughout the book. At Cloverly, your vision is our priority, and we work closely with you to bring your children’s book to life.

The Timeline for Children's Book Illustrations

Creating illustrations for children’s books is a creative process that takes time and care. The initial sample illustration typically takes around four weeks as we work to match your vision. Afterward, the process moves quickly with continuous feedback to ensure each page reflects your story. While we prioritize efficiency, our primary focus is on delivering high-quality illustrations that capture the spirit of your story and engage young readers.

Styles of Illustrations for Kids' Books

Choosing the right illustration style is key to making your kids’ books stand out. Here are a few popular styles we offer:

Whimsical or Juvenile: Ideal for traditional children’s book publishing, this style uses playful and vibrant colors, creating a lighthearted feel that resonates with younger readers.

Naturalistic: For stories with realistic themes, this style brings characters and scenes to life with lifelike detail, appealing to readers who enjoy a more true-to-life look.

Cartoonish/Humorous: Designed for illustrated books with comedic or imaginative elements, this style incorporates exaggerated features and bright colors to add humor and fun.

Fantasy: This imaginative style combines elements of realism with the surreal, perfect for adventure tales, fairy tales, and stories that explore magical worlds.

Science Fiction: Featuring futuristic themes, robots, and extraterrestrial life, this style caters to stories that transport young readers to exciting, otherworldly environments.
