Frequently asked questions
What does the Gouache picture book style look like?
Opaque matte gouache with bold simplified shapes and chalky dry-brush edges.
Can I use Gouache picture book for a black-and-white interior?
Gouache picture book is a color-first look. For a black-and-white interior, pick one of the line-art styles instead, or keep this style for the cover and color pages.
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 Gouache picture book style.
