Lara Calleja

Carefully crafted, creative illustrations - these are what children's book authors are mainly looking for. Which is probably what brought you here.

But before we dive in to how I can help you achieve your goals, let's see what my previous clients have to say:

" Thank you for really understanding my vision and bringing Jewels to life. You literally took my notes and the story and knocked it out of the park! Thank you for being professional and working in the spirit of excellence. I look forward to a great relationship in the future."

   - Samantha Williams, Senior Pastor, Soul Harvest Creative Praise Ministries of Hollywood, FL, author of Jewel's Treasure Hunt

" Lara is an amazing illustrator. She works really hard to produce quality pieces."

    - Gavin Warner, self-publishing author, Australia

So, you're here because you want to bring your book into life. And you'd like illustrations that complement or reinforce the story and go beyond the text. Right?

Good. Let us see what I can do for you.

WHO:  

Of course you would want to know me first; I am an illustrator that specializes in creating illustrations for kids of any age. Picture books, easy readers, illustrated books and even graphic novels - that's what I do.

WHY:

My job is about producing quality illustrations, whether you already have a publisher, looking for one or self-publishing. My aim is to create compelling visuals for your young readers and eventually for your book to sell well.

HOW:

It is a long story, but basically gets down to research, sketches, character design, storyboarding, and the fun part - coloring!

WHAT:

I would want you to get the best results - to get out to the world the picture in your head. These are what I will provide in the process:

 ** Initial rough sketches

 ** Storyboard

 ** Work in progress (in-between stages)

 ** Color tests (optional)

 ** Fully colored illustrations

But before I can provide those mentioned above, I would need you to have a solid and strong offer and if it is the case, please do inform me of your book project and we can discuss the rest afterwards.
