Children's Book Illustrations
Elsabé is open for children’s book illustration projects from traditional publishers as well as self publishers. Illustration, design and formatting services includes all the steps required to create a complete print ready, formatted children’s book. The basic steps include pagination, style and colour palette evaluation, page layout, character design, thumbnails, storyboard, rough sketches, final line work, full colour illustrations, book design (putting the text and illustrations together on a page in a visual appealing way) and formatting (creating e-book or print ready output files). Due to the long nature of book projects, be sure to book a few months in advance to avoid disappointment. A complete and edited manuscript is required to start any detailed illustration planning.

Character Design
Looking for a unique character as a mascot for your business? Work with Elsabé to create a character that can visually portray the characteristics you would like kids to associate with your brand. Anything from animals or children to a unique combination of imaginative creatures can be discussed and developed according to your style, colour and visual message requirements.
Commercial Illustrations
Consulting with an illustrator or designer to create original artwork or illustrations for products or packaging will set you apart and send a message that your business takes pride in developing something unique and worth remembering. Book a consultation to discuss custom corporate gifts that is not just another coffee mug with your company logo. Be creative and consider functional art items like cheese boards, travel mugs, wine/gin goblets, stainless steel drinkware, coasters or serving plates that your clients will take pride in using at home, not just shove to the back of the office kitchen. Items can include a range of products containing new and original art designed to embrace your brand. Elsabé is passionate about nature and enjoys creating botanical and animal designs to be used on function art products. Stationary made from recycled paper as well as growing paper is an environmentally friendly option that is becoming very popular. Colouring page and sticker designs are created regularly for child-related businesses.
