Karine was a pleasure to work with. She is very talented and responsive. I fell in love with the illustrations from the moment my character was created. I look forward to working with USIllustrations again in the future.

Working with Karine at US Illustrations has been a beautiful experience. This is the first children’s book I wrote and she made this experience very easy and enjoyable. Since the first illustration she sent me about my book character I fell in love with her work. At US Illustrations they are professionals with great knowledge, experience and sensibility about their customers. I highly recommend US Illustration for any illustration project you may have.

It was an absolute pleasure working with usillustrations! Karine was professional, very timely, and extremely helpful. I would 110% use them again for future jobs. Amazing illustrations, thoughtful and creative cover design, and excellent assistance with formatting!

Karine is excellent at what she does as an artist. She is very detailed and understands the assignment from script to illustration. Very good listener and consummate professional. Enjoyed working with her.

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  We estimate an entire project upfront based on a per-illustration cost. Most illustration projects are in the 120$-180$ range, depending on: 1. Illustration Style - cartoon, realistic, whimsical. 2. Illustration Medium - watercolor, digital, pencil. 3. Illustration Details - number of characters per page, background details.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  1. FREE TRIAL: We create a free trial sketch so customers can estimate our working quality and speed BEFORE signing a contract and making any payments. 2. SCRIPT AND DESCRIPTION After confirming the trial sketch, we require a story script and detailed description for each illustration to start the project. 3. PREPAYMENT: In addition, 50% prepayment is required before proceeding to the main project. 4. SKETCHING: Within a week or so, we provide sketches of the entire project for a preview. 5. COLORING: After approving the sketches, we begin the coloring stage. 6. FINAL PAYMENT: The customer makes the remaining 50% payment after the approval of the final colored illustrations. 7. LAYOUT & COVER DESIGN We also provide book layout and cover design services - wrapping up newly created illustrations in a beautiful book design.

• How did you get started doing this type of work?

  One of the most beautiful things in the world is bringing ideas into reality by creating a new life. Reading a draft story, then creating a new world full of unique characters and environments that have never existed before is highly satisfying! We enjoy creating illustrations.
