Children book illustration process








This is the title page of my illustrated book project. The book explores various themes and features vivid illustrations to engage readers. Its goal is to captivate a wide audience, including both children and adults who appreciate detailed artwork and storytelling. The project has been meticulously designed to provide both visual appeal and meaningful content, making it a unique addition to the realms of literature and art.
 





Later, I edited the shop scene by incorporating various colours and lighting using Adobe Photoshop. I selected a vibrant colour palette that included cool shades of blue and green, contrasting with warm yellow tones to create a welcoming atmosphere.




Next, I created the first page of the book, depicting a young girl entering a shop with a storage cabinet filled with jars, one of which contains a small sandcastle behind the shopkeeper's counter.





I edited the illustration by adding a warm glow surrounding the jars on the shelves using Adobe Photoshop, along with adding details to the sandcastle, a hanging plant and fairy lights on the walls of the store.


Finally, I changed the young girl’s hair to blonde, adjusted her skin tone to pale, and made her eyes a cooler shade of blue from the original colour palette to enhance the realism of the story.
