Illustrations for books

A good book deserves a cover that sparks curiosity and illustrations that enhance the story. From book covers to interior illustrations and complete children’s books: I help authors and publishers bring their stories to life visually. Whether it’s designing a book cover, providing illustrations for a book, or illustrating an entire (children’s) book. Are you looking for a designer or illustrator? Get in touch to discuss the possibilities.

I have worked for these publishers, among others

But I also take great pleasure in working on books that authors self-publish!

Options Book Illustrations

There are all kinds of possibilities for books. Are you looking for just a cover illustration? Or perhaps illustrations for the interior? I can help you with both. A picture says more than a thousand words. But sometimes it can also be supportive. Depending on your wishes, I’d be happy to design the suitable illustration(s) with you.

Book Cover

We discuss your wishes. Based on this, I design a suitable cover for e-books, paperbacks, or hardcovers.

Illustrations
Interior

Looking for individual illustrations that support the story? Or perhaps a chapter opener? That’s also possible.

Children’s Book

I’d love to discuss together what’s needed to bring your picture book to life.

"It's a pleasure to work with Anouk: with just a few words, she knows exactly what I mean. I couldn't wish for a better illustrator."

What else is Possible?

Besides the illustration for your book cover, I’d also be happy to help with additions for, for example, the interior. This often involves a design for the inside of your cover, or illustrations that give your story extra impact. Think, for example, of recipes that complement your story, or a unique illustration for each chapter. Such chapter openers (also called chapter headings) provide a beautiful reading experience.
Do you want your book to truly stand out? Then a printed book block (sprayed edges) is also a wonderful addition. I’d naturally be happy to help you with this too!

But it doesn’t stop there. The illustrations can not only enrich your book, but also contribute to its promotion. For example: eye-catching social media images that perfectly match your book, or personalized bookmarks featuring your own characters. Perhaps even art prints that you can offer with a pre-order to give your readers something special.
In short, anything is possible! From interior to promotion. Together we’ll see what makes your story shine best. Contact me for the possibilities or request a quote right away.

Previously created interior illustrations

I often get to create illustrations for the inside of the cover (also called endpapers) or a separate illustration for the interior. These illustrations help bring the story to life and ensure a unique reading experience.

Extras for books

A book is more than just a cover and a story. Think of chapter openers for the interior, matching bookmarks, sprayed edges, or promotional material. I am also happy to brainstorm with you on these additional designs.

Your
Unique Illustration in 3 Steps

Learn more about my process?

What are your wishes?

We discuss everything regarding your book project. Which illustrations do you need? What style should it be? Based on this, you will receive a non-binding quote.

Time to sketch

You will receive a number of rough sketches. This allows us to see what best aligns with your wishes. I will then adjust the sketch based on your feedback.

Digital Artwork

Is the sketch to your liking? Then I will digitally develop your book illustration. Afterwards, you will receive digital files in the desired dimensions.
