Frequently asked questions
What does the Silhouette shadow theater style look like?
Solid black cut-paper silhouettes with lace-fine edges against glowing sunset skies.
Can I use Silhouette shadow theater for a black-and-white interior?
Yes. Silhouette shadow theater 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 Silhouette shadow theater style.
