Hi Friends! My name is Hanna and I am an illustrator. I'll be taking you through the process of creating a picture book in Procreate from start to finish.
I will be talking about the book "Get Well Spell" written by Hannah Peckham and published by Awards Publications.

Hi, Thanks for your video. Can you please make a video on 1-how to combine different final pages of the book into one final fine as a whole book to send to the publishers 2-how to make a picture book dummy on procreate step by step focusing on size and format Thanks

I hope the video was helpful! If you work with a publisher, they normally won't require a dummy book or a final book setup, as they usually have an in-house editor responsible for this kind of work. At least, that is what I have learned and experienced myself 😊

That book is beautiful I need to buy it! ❤ Also, I was wondering, can you tell me the measurements of your procreate and photoshop canvas? And the DPI? What size of canvas/file does the publisher require for the ultimate high quality of your book? 🙏🏻

@hannatkachenko 27 күн бұрын

Thank you so much! I hope you will enjoy it :) The canvas size was 5173px x 3378px for a full spread at 300 DPI. The publisher will require different canvas setups for different book sizes. It always depends on the project. However, the publisher will give you the needed page information before you start the project. I would always recommend going with 300 DPI to ensure the best quality ❤️

Awesome video thank you! Do you individually import the pages into photoshop and then simply export them in CMYK format or is there something special you do in photoshop?

@hannatkachenko 2 ай бұрын

Yes, exactly. I'll combine the layers then, as it helps to keep the colors as close as possible to the original. I have a short tiktok video abou it: www.tiktok.com/@hannatart/video/7332816073256963361. It is in german, but I think there are english subtitles ☺️

Your video was very helpful. What size canvas do you use on Procreate?

@hannatkachenko 6 күн бұрын

I'm so happy to hear that! It depends on the project, but I always go as big as I can and set the resolution to 300 DPI. :)

I wonder if the publisher provided information about the size of pages that won't be trimmed or that's something you need to consult with printing company or there's different approach?

@hannatkachenko 27 күн бұрын

If you work with a publisher, they will send you all of the needed information. My publisher gave me the information about the page size and the bleed. Also, upon my request, I received a layout as a PDF file, which was really helpful. I would definitely recommend not being shy and just asking for anything you need.

Hello, when converting to CMYK, do you do specific adjustments, or just convert the final file? Is it the compiled PDF or you do it on each illustrated page? I ask coz I also work full-time on Procreate (I have no computer). Thank you!

@hannatkachenko 4 ай бұрын

I converted each page separately in Photoshop. I would merge all layers together, convert it to CMYK (8-bit channel), and then adjust the vibrance and color settings manually. I find this method works best for me! There are also online converters available, but I've never tried them. Additionally, if you're working with a publisher, they might be willing to handle the conversion on their end:)

I saw this in a tutorial recently and it seems a canvas on Procreate can be switched to CMYK, but it needs to be done by creating a new canvas and adjusting it in the settings before starting on drawing. If a file has been set to RGB already though, I don't think it's convertible.

To make illustrations for printing books or other prints, you don't need to vectorize, right? I always had this doubt, I loved your video, and your process, the drawings were beautiful

@hannatkachenko 2 ай бұрын

No, you don't need to vectorize your work! Unless it's your style or something you've agreed on with a publisher beforehand. But normally, it isn't something you need to do. Just make sure to save your file in a good resolution.

Hello, I want to print children book independently. Could you please tell me about the settings at the beginning of procreate. The size, resolution is 300, and the color is CMYK. After the drawing is completed, I want to put it into Adobe Indesign. I have tried converting it to PSD, JPEG, PNG and TIFF in procreate and sending it via email. Then opened it on my computer and put it into Indesign, but the resolution of the file will be lower than 300, the printing house told me it must be 300 resolution. I also want to know if there will be any color difference when the file is transferred from procreate to Indesign? How can this be checked? I would like to ask if there is a tutorial on the children book file production process from procreate to Indesign. I am willing to pay to learn from you. thank you!
