How to Illustrate a Kids Book with AI
A simple, repeatable illustration pipeline: character lock, single style, clean exports.
1) Lock your character
- Use a clear reference photo or drawing for the hero.
- Define outfit colors and 1–2 anchor details to prevent drift.
2) Choose one style (and keep the wording identical)
Pick a single style (watercolor, painterly, flat) and reuse the same phrasing on every page. Consistency beats variety in kids books.
3) Plan composition
- Close‑ups for emotion; wide shots for discovery.
- Leave quiet space for text.
- Keep backgrounds calm on emotional beats.
