Hire An Illustrator - Where all the fun begins!
In this page, you will be able to learn about the illustrating process.
At Gau Family Studio, we value our customer original idea more than anything else combined. We want your input on every detail of the characters and backgrounds. The Pre-illustration step helps us to understand the style you want and the vision of your book. This step is so important that we usually spend more than two weeks to make sure we get it right.
STEP 1: Pre-Illustration
This is the sample of how we brainstormed the idea of "cool kid that love music". As you can see, simple sentence can lead to many results. Without your input, your book will not finish as it was meant to be.

STEP 2: Sketches
Once we understand what you want for the style and direction, our artist will sketch out the whole book in black and white. We still have plenty of room for comments, and adjustments at this stage. Again, we offer unlimited revision, so please use it as much as you can to get the best illustrations. Here are the few examples of detail sketches

STEP 3: Revisions - CRITICAL STEPS
This step is critical. Even we knew your expectation at the step 1 but we cannot really get it right at the first shot. Revisions are necessary to unite our vision. The illustration below is an example of how the author communicated with our artists. She wanted the sky to be darker blue. As you can see that, we give our authors full control over their illustrations. Again, we are to serve.

STEP 4: Coloring
