Hi, This is a lovely concept and the reference you shared already gives a clear direction for the girl and her dog. Creating consistent, expressive characters across multiple pages while keeping the illustrations playful and engaging for young readers is something I’ve worked on before. The focus will be on building a clean character base first so their look stays consistent, then developing vibrant, story driven scenes that feel warm and easy for kids to connect with. The artwork will be prepared print ready with correct sizing, bleed, and CMYK setup as per your specs. I can also support with cover and interior layout so everything feels cohesive as a finished book.
