    When it came to refreshing a key character hero shot for our My First JCB wall mural, we knew exactly where to turn.

    Big Red’s bright and bold CGI illustration was spot on, perfect for inspiring young imaginations and delivering a valuable new asset for our brand extension programme.

    All handled and managed smoothly by Adam.

    FAQ’S FOR BIG RED’S CHILDREN’S BOOK ILLUSTRATION SERVICES

    1. What does a children’s book illustrator at Big Red do?

    A children’s book illustrator at Big Red is responsible for bringing stories to life through captivating visuals. We work closely with authors and publishers to create beautiful illustrations that perfectly complement the narrative of the children’s book. From character design to detailed backgrounds, our illustrators ensure every page is filled with engaging and memorable imagery.

    2. How do you approach illustrating a picture book?

    When illustrating a picture book, we focus on creating beautiful illustrations that enhance the story’s themes and tone. Our process involves understanding the heart of the story and designing visuals that appeal to young readers. Whether it’s a whimsical, colourful adventure or a more gentle, heartwarming tale, we make sure the illustrations align with the author’s vision and help tell the story in a visually engaging way.

    3. Why are beautiful illustrations vitally important in children’s books?

    Beautiful illustrations are vitally important in a children’s book because they capture a child’s attention and imagination. Young readers often connect with the images before they understand the words, so vibrant, engaging visuals help bring the story to life and make it more accessible. Well-crafted illustrations also enhance the emotional depth of the story, making the reading experience more immersive and enjoyable for both children and adults.

    4. How do illustrations contribute to the success of a children’s book?

    In a children’s book, illustrations are key to conveying the narrative, especially for younger audiences who may rely more on visuals than text. Beautiful illustrations not only make the story more engaging but also help in developing a child’s understanding of emotions, characters, and the world around them. They’re essential for creating a connection between the book and its readers, often making the difference between a good story and a memorable one.

    5. Can Big Red illustrate my first picture book?
