While writing the book for the children, you must have an imagery of the characters. Let the illustrator slip into your shoes and draw the cartoon figures of the characters by following the details you shared including the colour of their hair, eyes, skin, dresses etc. They can also add the accessories just the way you created the writing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Share the mock models you created<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have sketched a few mock models of the characters or events as illustrations, share them with the illustrator.
