Bring Your Book To Life
A great children’s book relies heavily on its illustrations to capture the imagination of young readers and transport them into worlds full of adventure and discovery. As the founder and sole illustrator of Erin Richardson Designs, I take great pride in providing top-notch children's book illustration services to authors and publishers alike.
Illustrations can be used to bring a story to life and add elements of creativity and imagination that words alone cannot convey. A great illustrator will be able to capture the atmosphere of a scene or character in such a way that even young readers are able to understand it without having to read the text. Illustrations also provide a visual representation of the plot and characters, helping readers to better connect with the story.
My Process
​When creating illustrations for a new story, I work closely with the author or publisher to ensure that their vision is accurately represented. This might involve discussing details such as color palettes and style elements or offering advice on how to best bring out certain nuances within the text.​
Once we’ve established the general principles of our collaboration, I will then begin to create the illustrations. My goal is always to bring something special and unique to each illustration in order to make it truly stand out from the rest. I use a variety of traditional media such as watercolor and pencils, as well as digital tools like Photoshop and Illustrator to craft my artworks.
