What You'll Receive
Full Description
Your children's story deserves illustrations that stop a child mid-breath and make them beg for one more page. At Zinn Digital®, we are a London-based team of professional children's picture book illustrators who specialise in cartoonish, comical, and heart-warming artwork — every single illustration drawn by hand, with absolutely no AI involvement.
Whether you are a first-time indie author nervously uploading your debut picture book to KDP, or an established writer building out a beloved series, we work closely with you from the very first sketch to the final print-ready file. Our illustrations are consistently styled throughout your book, vibrant in colour, and built to meet the technical requirements of print and digital self-publishing platforms including Amazon KDP and IngramSpark.
**What you receive with every tier:**
- High-resolution colour illustrations (350+ DPI, print-ready)
- Unique characters and vibrant scenes drawn entirely by hand
- Consistent artistic style from page one to the last
- Unlimited revisions until you are delighted
- Commercial use rights included
- Prompt communication and structured feedback rounds
**How the process works:**
1. You share your story, scene descriptions, and any visual references
2. We send preliminary character sketches for your approval
3. Colour and detail are added following your sign-off
4. Final files are delivered in formats suitable for both print and digital publication
Our illustrators can handle any concept — fantasy, sci-fi, animals, dinosaurs, magical creatures, and beyond. We love exploring new styles to suit your vision. For new indie authors, we typically recommend a square 8.5 × 8.5 inch trim size, though we are happy to advise on whichever dimensions suit your project best.
If your project spans a full book or an entire series, we can accommodate split workflows — completing the sketch stage first and pausing before rendering, so you can manage your budget comfortably.
This listing begins with a character design test: one single illustration (no background) so you can see our style and quality before committing to a full project. Larger tiers scale up to a complete illustrated picture book with backgrounds, multiple characters, a full cover, and a storyboard — everything you need to publish with confidence.
Please send us a message before placing your order so we can discuss your story, page count, character count, and timeline. We look forward to bringing your world to life.

Frequently Asked Questions
No — every illustration is drawn entirely by hand by our team. We do not use AI image generation tools at any stage of the process.
Timeline depends on three main factors: the complexity of the art style, the number of characters and details per scene, and your total page count. As a guide, a complex style across 20 pages typically takes 20–25 days, not including revision rounds. The tier delivery times shown cover most standard projects — please message us before ordering if your book is particularly large or detailed.
Please share your story or scene-by-scene descriptions, any character notes (appearance, personality, clothing), your preferred book trim size, and any visual references you have in mind. The more detail you provide, the more accurately we can capture your vision from the very first sketch.
We generally recommend a square 8.5 × 8.5 inch format — it is visually appealing for children and works well on the major self-publishing platforms. That said, there are many sizing options available and we are happy to advise based on your specific project.
Absolutely. We can illustrate animals, pets, dinosaurs, magical creatures, robots, and characters from any genre — sci-fi, fantasy, slice-of-life, and beyond. We enjoy exploring new visual concepts to suit each unique story.
Yes — we love working on full book projects and multi-book series. We ensure the art style remains entirely consistent across every volume. If you are working on a series, please mention this when you get in touch so we can plan accordingly.
Yes. We can complete the sketch stage first, then pause for one to two weeks before moving into the colouring and rendering phase. This gives you time to manage your finances comfortably without losing your place in the project.
All tiers include unlimited revisions. The workflow runs in three stages: sketching, rendering (colouring), and optional formatting. We seek your approval at the sketch stage before investing time in colouring, so nothing moves forward without your sign-off.

Honestly, the illustrations are beautiful. The colours, the little expressions, the creativity — all of it blew me away. You really brought the whole idea to life in a way I didn't even picture. Seriously, amazing work… anyone who loves good art needs to hire you.
Fast delivery, and they'll change something if you're not happy with it. They actually try to make you happy. Very polite.
This Zinner A. took my vision for that intense, modern cover and absolutely crushed it. I will use him for my future book.
Working with you again was absolutely amazing! ^-^ You were so incredibly fast, especially with how much work there was, it honestly blew me away. The emotes turned out perfect, even better than I imagined (again)! You always put so much care into making sure everything's just right and communicate so well throughout the whole process. I'm beyond happy with the results and couldn't ask for a better experience. Thank you so much, I can't wait to order from you again! ((>ω< ))
I'm honestly blown away! The artwork arrived so fast and looked even better than the sample sketches. Hafsa's style is unique, charming, and full of personality. Such a talented artist — truly impressed!
I really loved the ability to work directly with this Zinner on line. He was amenable to making changes and accommodated my requests. The Zinn Hub interface was very slow at times and needs to be remedied. Sometimes it would take up to 5 minutes to send a communication through.
Amazing once again, so much talent and patience, so kind and I'm extremely happy with it because he tuned it how I wanted it to look! I will definitely be back again for more emotes and I can't recommend Poppy enough!
Another project that’s has been nailed on the head, with smooth animations, popping colours, and perfect designs, Hilly is your one stop shop for any art!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Star Review for this Zinner! This was my first time using Zinn Hub and I'm not tech-savvy, but this Zinner made the entire experience unforgettable. He created the illustrations for my son's birthday book, titled 'The Kid With 1000 Ideas', and he brought our vision to life in a way that truly touched my heart. He explained everything in simple, easy-to-understand language and his patience was unmatched. He guided me through every step, always making sure I understood what was happening and that I was completely happy with the results. He listened, he cared, and he delivered excellence from start to finish. The illustrations he created for my son's book were magical and meaningful. He captured his spirit and personality so beautifully. This project means the world to me and he treated it with the same love and care. If you are looking for someone who is exceptional, talented, and dedicated to making your ideas come alive, this Zinner is the perfect choice. I am so grateful for his work and I will definitely come back to him again.
Thank you again. I was really unsure how this would turn out, but I have to say it's much better than I thought, and really fast too!
