Books that suit felt & fabric

In print

How it prints on KDP

In color, it prints on KDP's premium or standard color interiors, on white paper. It needs a color interior; for black & white books, choose a line-art, ink or pencil style. Compare what each interior costs with the printing cost calculator, and read how to choose the trim size and paper.

Consistency

Same characters, every page

Before the pages are painted, each main character gets a reference sheet in this style. Every illustration is drawn with those sheets as references, so faces, clothes and colors stay the same from the cover to the last page. Text is never painted into the art: titles, captions and speech bubbles are typeset on top. See community books illustrated in felt & fabric.
