Frequently asked questions
What does the Colored pencil style look like?
Hand-drawn colored pencil with directional hatching and paper tooth showing through.
Can I use Colored pencil for a black-and-white interior?
Yes. Colored pencil reads well in black and white, so it works for budget grayscale interiors as well as full-color books.
How do I keep characters consistent across pages?
Describe your main characters once when you plan the book. kdpbook.us reuses that description on every illustration prompt so the same character appears throughout, in the Colored pencil style.
