Bring your children’s story to life with expressive characters, imaginative settings, and illustrations that stay consistent throughout your book and cover.

At US Illustrations, we help self-published authors turn their manuscripts into illustrated books. Your book and cover are created by the same human illustrator, and we do not use generative AI to create your artwork. Our contract establishes your 100% copyright ownership before the project begins.

We shape the artwork around your story’s tone, target age group, and preferred style—from playful cartoon characters to painterly storybook worlds.

Your project can include:

Character design: Distinctive characters with consistent features, personalities, and expressions.

Interior illustrations: Full-page artwork, double-page spreads, and smaller illustrations suited to your story.

Visual storytelling: Thoughtful compositions that support the text, build atmosphere, and carry the story forward.

Cover illustration and design: Artwork and cover design that introduce your story to readers.

Interior layout: Text placement and page design that bring the words and illustrations together.

We provide print-ready preparation for Amazon KDP or IngramSpark at no additional cost. Your quote will specify exactly which illustration and design services are included.

Complete book projects typically take 2–4 weeks, depending on scope and feedback. We confirm the illustration count, deliverables, revision stages, schedule, and price before starting.

Share your manuscript, target age group, preferred book size, and a few style references. We’ll help you plan the visual direction and next steps for your book.
