Anna K.
Watercolor Children's Books Illustrator, Book Cover Designer
Children’s book illustrator who takes your picture book from idea to print-ready files for Amazon KDP and IngramSpark. 15+ published books, created with traditional media (watercolor, gouache, mixed media) and digital tools. Every illustration is hand-drawn by me. Here’s what you get when we work together: ✔ Character design and visual world development ✔ Full picture book illustration (10–32+ spreads) with consistent style throughout ✔ Book cover design ✔ Layout and print preparation: bleeds, trim sizes, correct file formats ✔ One person from first sketch to final files, so you don’t need a separate designer Recent work: ✨ Illustrated a book series for Tash Howlett ✨ “Lisette the Vet and Her Dog Jett” by Ruth MacPete, now on Amazon. How we work: sketches → color studies → final art → print files, with your feedback at each stage. Self-publishing author or small publisher? Send me your manuscript or a short description of your story, your trim size and your timeline, and I’ll reply with a clear plan and quote.
