A studio service
Nonfiction books children want to read.
Nonfiction for children has to be accurate and inviting at the same time. We illustrate science, nature, history and how-it-works books with clear diagrams, labelled scenes and a guide character when it helps.
N° 01Accuracy first

You or your expert check every sketch before it is finished.
Labels and callouts are set as editable text, so corrections never mean redrawing.
Reference material you send is kept with the project files.

- Can you draw diagrams as well as scenes?
- Yes. Diagrams, cutaways and step-by-step sequences are included in the Big Book package.
