Children's Picture Book Interior Spread – "A New Day, A Brave Heart"

Full-color interior double-page spread illustration and layout designed for an inspirational, faith-based children’s picture book.

THE BRIEF:
The author required a triumphant climax scene depicting Finn the Fox and his forest friends celebrating at sunrise as they emerge onto a path toward a “Safe Place.” The illustration needed to evoke warmth, hope, and courage while seamlessly integrating the story text, page number marker, and a scripture quote card.

WHAT I CREATED:
• Double-Page Artwork: Richly detailed sunrise forest landscape featuring golden atmospheric lighting, energetic animal character interactions (Finn, Bear, Rabbit, Owl, Hedgehog, and Squirrel), and custom wooden signpost details.
• Character Continuity: Maintained full visual consistency with established character model sheets across expressions, clothing accessories, and textures.
• Typography & Page Layout: Formatted story text with clean contrast against the shaded forest canopy, paired with a custom wooden scroll frame for the Joshua 1:9 scripture quote insert.

TECHNICAL SPECS:
• Software: Procreate, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign
• Deliverables: 300 DPI high-resolution CMYK spread with full bleed margins formatted for Amazon KDP & IngramSpark standard picture book printing.
