Why Work With Our Illustrators

Art Made for Books, Not Just Walls

Book illustration has its own rules. Art has to leave room for text, stay consistent across dozens of pages and look sharp in print and on screen. Our illustrators plan for all of it from the first sketch.

  • Consistent characters from the first page to the last
  • Layouts that leave space for your text
  • Files prepared for print and eBook formats
  • You own the final artwork created for your book

Cyrill Powell

Hexa Book Publishers created an attractive cover that offers a strong aesthetic appeal. It relates the entire story in a single picture without opening the book. In addition, the typography communicates emotions and sentiments clearly. I strongly recommend them to all book geeks!
