About this service

Summary

Hi, I'm Elif! I create custom, cute illustrations for children's books, character designs, or book covers. I'll bring your ideas to life and present them in the best way possible.

Feel free to share your project details with me—whether it's your vision, examples, or reference photos. We can discuss timelines, pricing, and other specifics before I provide you with a formal offer.

My pricing is $50 per page for detailed illustrations, but for projects beyond a single page, please message me directly for a tailored proposal. I offer discounted rates for bundle orders

I use Procreate and Photoshop to craft my illustrations.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Process

My Process:

Project Discussion & Briefing:

We'll start with a conversation where you can share your vision, story details, and any reference materials. This helps me understand the style and mood you're aiming for, ensuring we’re on the same page.

Character & Scene Sketches:

I’ll create initial black-and-white sketches of scenes based on our discussion. You’ll have the chance to review these sketches and provide feedback. We’ll refine the designs until they perfectly capture your vision.

Final Illustrations:

Once the sketches are approved, I’ll move on to creating the final full-color illustrations. These will be detailed and ready to captivate young readers. After the illustrations are complete, you’ll have one round of revisions for any final tweaks.

Cover Illustration:

If needed, I’ll design an engaging cover that reflects the heart of your story. This can include the front, spine, and back cover. We’ll work together to ensure it’s eye-catching and perfectly aligned with the book’s theme.

Delivery:

After everything is approved, I’ll deliver the final high-resolution files in your preferred formats, along with the source files if requested. These will be ready for print or digital use.

Final Review:

We’ll do a final review to ensure everything meets your expectations. Once you’re satisfied, the project will be completed, and I’ll be available for any further assistance you might need.
