The same night, painted six ways

Every sample below is the same scene, the same child — the only thing that changes is the hand that drew it.

Style is chosen once per book, and stays that way for every page in it.

Watercolor

Soft edges and gentle color bleeds, calmer than a photograph. Best for bedtime and quiet moments.

Crisp linework and bold, saturated color. Best for adventure and stories with a lot happening on the page.

Bold outlines, big expressions. Best under four.

Detailed light and texture, closer to a photograph than a drawing. Best for kids who ask "is this real?"

Flat shapes, a handful of colors, nothing extra. Best for kids who get overwhelmed by busy pages.

Warm, faded tones like an old picture book. Best for family stories and anything meant to feel timeless.
