Write a Brief: Develop a clear, concise brief detailing your vision. Include descriptions of key scenes, characters’ appearances, important themes, and any specific ideas for illustrations. Specify the emotional tone and any motifs or symbols that are significant to your story.

Communicate Your Expectations: Discuss your vision, mood board, and brief with your art director and illustrator. Open, ongoing communication is vital. Be open to their suggestions, as they bring expertise and creativity that can improve your initial ideas.

Review and Feedback: As sketches and drafts come in, provide constructive feedback. Be specific about what you like and what might need adjustment, referencing your initial vision and mood board to guide revisions.

Trust the Process: While it’s important to communicate your vision, trusting your illustrator and art director’s expertise is equally crucial. They’re skilled at bringing stories to life and can often suggest enhancements that align with your goals.

  • Revisions: Based on your feedback, the illustrator will make revisions. This process may go through several rounds to refine the artwork according to your specifications.
  • Final Review: Before the illustrations are finalized, you’ll have the chance to review the last drafts. This is the stage where you can make any final tweaks or confirm that everything is as envisioned.
  • Ongoing Communication: Throughout this process, the art director will facilitate clear communication between you and the illustrator, ensuring that all parties are aligned and that the final illustrations truly reflect the essence of your story.
