The Book Illustration Process
Joan & Ink Wonderland can be hired on a per-project (freelance) basis or for ongoing illustration and consultation. We can assist during all phases of the book illustration & publishing process, from conceptual planning to delivering the final print-ready copy of your new book to you or your publisher. We can also assist with self-publishing for independent authors.
Children's book illustration projects with Joan will follow these steps:
1) We start by communicating with our client to discuss the basic needs of the project, such as the art style, illustration size, and the quantity of illustrations needed.
2) Joan will then create a sample illustration that will be representative of the book's final artwork. Our client will have this opportunity to request any needed changes to the artwork, layout, details, etc. so that everyone is on the same page for the remainder of the project.
3) Next we determine the budget, time-line, and agree upon contractual, royalty, and copyright terms.
4) Then we will create and deliver small batches of "rough" illustrations (minimal coloring and shading), receive our client's feedback, make any required revisions, finalize the artwork, and then move on to the next batch of illustrations. We continue this process until the project is completed.
5) Towards the end of the project we take care of the specialty pages such as the front/back covers, copyright, dedication, etc.
6) We finish by asking for our client's final approval on the illustrations and book layout, then finalize and deliver the print-ready book.
Just let Joan Coleman know what your needs and expectations are for your new book project, and we will work with you to help your vision become a reality. Use our CONTACT FORM to get started.
