| Dog with Bone Coloring Book Illustration Drawing |
The coloring book illustrations for young children should, in our opinion, have animals with appealing, sweet expressions. Generally this can be done as you will see in our next samples.

| Penguin Mother, Father and Baby Coloring Page | |
When you are ordering coloring book pages from an illustrator it is vital to explain the personality of the animal you want drawn. The dinosaur below does not have a sweet face but instead looks rather fierce.

| Fierce Tyrannosaurus Rex Coloring Book Illustration |
It is pretty difficult to make dinosaurs look cute so this book was based on the way we generally think they were.

| Horse Snow Sled and Driver Coloring Book Illustration |
The horse above looks content to do his job pulling the sled. The point we are trying to make is when you are asking an illustrator to create a book for you they need to know:
* What types of animals.
* What is the animal doing in the scene?
* Is there a background or other components in the art (Background trees, buildings, room furnishings, etc.)?
* What expressions to you want on the animals? Should they be pleasant, scary or non-threatening?
* Is the animal going to have an outfit?
* Is there going to be more than one as in the penguin family art above?
Professional freelance illustrators have set prices they expect to be paid. Generally you will receive a contract for the work and payment upfront is expected. Professional illustrators do not work on speculation. Which means they will not draw the art in hopes that you will like it and pay them. You have to be prepared to pay in advance and also for changes. Some companies charge a lot per page and include several changes. We charge less and you only pay for changes you want. We almost never have changes requested as our aim is to get it right the first time. Thanks for your time in reading this. We hope it helped.
