3 Illustration Information
In the space provided below, number each illustration and describe the scene
for each one including the characters, the actions and the surroundings.
-- If you have more than 12 custom illustrations, add additional numbers and
illustration descriptions as needed.
Disclaimer: Double Page Spread, where an illustration crosses the fold and continues onto
the facing page constitutes 2 illustrations and must be purchased as such.
Example Illustration Description:
This scene takes place in the backyard where the garage
and driveway are the central focus. It is a Spring morning and the sun is shining. Dad is working on a
bicycle in the garage that has a flat tire. Dad is in his old blue jeans and flannel shirt and is all greasy. Just
outside the garage lying in the driveway is their old Golden Retriever dog taking a nap.
