“At Mehibi Studio, we believe that captivating illustrations are the heart of a children’s book. That’s why we take the time to truly understand your story and characters. Through close collaboration, we’ll breathe life into your vision, ensuring every detail resonates with young readers.” -Mehibi Studio.
Mehibi Studio takes a collaborative approach from the very beginning. We’ll guide you through the process from your initial inquiry, ensuring your vision is captured perfectly. Our children book illustrators then dive deep into the story, meticulously breaking it down to design the ideal layout and bring the characters to life. It’s a magical process, visualizing the story through stunning imagery that respects your authorial intent while incorporating your desired elements.
Our illustrators bring characters to life! They don’t just draw – they delve into the story, imagining voices and backstories for each character. Ages, friends, emotions – they develop the whole picture! Sketches are created to capture this essence, and we’ll collaborate with you to refine them until you’re thrilled. Then comes the magic – transforming those sketches into vibrant illustrations that will captivate readers of all ages.
With your approval on the illustrations, the real magic begins! Our team utilizes cutting-edge technology and industry-standard software to meticulously assemble your dream book. Here, the digital format breathes life into your story. Our illustrators carefully integrate the text with the completed illustrations, creating a cohesive and visually stunning narrative. It’s a truly rewarding stage to witness everything come together beautifully.
Firstly, we want to understand your characters, themes, and anything else you envision for your book. While a quick phone call is always welcome, for a deeper dive, please send your story and any project details via email. To help you visualize your dream book, explore our “Children’s Book Illustration” gallery and get inspired by a variety of styles. Once we have a clear understanding of your project, we’ll provide a personalized quote and estimated timeline.
In this crucial stage, your story takes flight! We’ll meticulously craft a text-based layout for your approval, ensuring the flow feels perfect. Simultaneously, we’ll delve into designing your main character(s). To visualize the book’s structure, we’ll create a simple storyboard and begin sketching. Once complete, we’ll send you draft sketches for your review. We understand revisions are key to achieving your vision. Our package includes a maximum of THREE rounds of revisions to perfect the basic layout and sketches. These revisions allow for adjustments to the sketches, but major changes or redraws may incur additional fees. To ensure a smooth process, please provide clear and specific feedback during this stage. Any illustration changes requested after this point will be subject to additional charges. Let’s work together to bring your story to life with stunning visuals!
This stage, often the longest (3-6 weeks, potentially more for complex illustrations), is where your story explodes with color. We’ll keep you informed if anything extends beyond the initial timeframe.
Here, the book truly comes alive! We’ll meticulously import your illustrations and begin the editing process. This stage typically takes about 2-3 weeks to weave your story and visuals into a cohesive masterpiece.
As your stunning illustrations near completion, the remaining balance (typically 50% of the agreed fee) will be due. Once received, we’ll finalize everything and send you the complete book proof for your review. Please note: This final payment is required before we send the completed book files, ready for your final editing touches.
Once your book arrives, it’s time for a meticulous examination! We’ll work together to eliminate any typos, imperfections, or those pesky gremlins that may have snuck in (remember, major illustration changes are no longer possible at this point). These edits are essential for a polished final product. Take your time to meticulously review everything. We’ll be here to support you and eliminate any issues. However, the final sign-off rests with you (another reason why a professionally proofread manuscript is key!). Our package includes TWO rounds of final edits. Any additional changes after this stage will incur extra charges. Let’s work together to make your dream book shine!
After perfecting your book through editing, we’ll request your formal written sign-off (usually via email). Once received, we’ll compile everything and send you all the final print files – everything you need to bring your book to life!

It’s crucial to ensure your story does not infringe on anyone’s intellectual property rights. Avoid using real company trade names or existing character names from other stories, films, TV shows, or books without the copyright owner’s express written permission.
For your project, we will issue a limited license for you to use the illustrations we create specifically for the purchased book.

ISBN stands for the International Standard Book Number. It provides a unique product identity for your book, essential for selling, listing, discovering, and distributing your books.
While it’s not a legal requirement, publishers, booksellers, and libraries use ISBNs for ordering, listing, and stock control.
If you decide to add an ISBN to your book, the process is simple. You can purchase an ISBN online. In the UK, the ISBN agency was formerly Whitakers, which combined with Book Data to create Nielsen Book Data. They manage the allocation of ISBNs and other services you will need as your project progresses.
You can buy an ISBN from the Nielsen ISBN Store: https://www.nielsenisbnstore.com

If you are self-publishing and require printing, consider getting quotes from:
It’s always worth exploring and finding a printing company that suits your needs, but these companies consistently produce high-quality books.
If you’re looking to have a small website built, get in touch with [vendor’s name]. They are our trusted website developer, and we wouldn’t recommend anyone else. We recall starting out with a cheaper alternative that lacked the visibility and impact needed to make an impression on Google. However, after years of working with [vendor’s name], we’ve achieved the desired results for our site.
We always recommend that if you’re serious enough to warrant having your own online bookstore, you should invest in a reliable (though more expensive) developer. While they may cost more than the cheaper alternatives, they provide invaluable help and support when you need it.
