“Luis Peres provided the most beautiful illustrations I could have ever hoped for. I am the lead designer at a US marketing firm, so I have very high standards for artists.
Luis was not just a skilled illustrator; he was also skilled in Photoshop. Unlike many illustrators, he provides .psd files in addition to final .jpegs.
His files can easily be tweaked, modified, and/or changed long after he has completed his agreement. This is a great value.
Luis at ICreateWorlds.net is also a very affordable children's book artist. He provides work at a level that would easily justify much higher rates. I really appreciated his many emails with updates and status. I knew exactly when I would receive my illustrations. Many illustrators miss deadlines and keep you out of the loop, but not Luis.
I highly recommend him!”

“I am more than thrilled that I found Luis. I am preparing to publish a children’s book that initially began as a CD. The recording contains the words that will be used in the books, along with a lot of music and sound effects. Creating a picture of something with music and sound effects is not easy, but Luis from Luis Peres Illustrator.net captured it magnificently. He allows your imagination to soar into his pictures and into the world he has created.
Luis began working on it, and he sent me back pictures so quickly that I was astonished at how intricate and detailed everything was. I don’t think the man ever sleeps!
I wholeheartedly recommend Luis if you want to see pictures that jump off the page and pique your interest in all the little details.
If he tells you you will hear from him in 2 days, it may be even sooner than that. He is totally professional and extremely pleasant to work with, which I really appreciate.

“When I received the sample illustrations of the main characters in my manuscript, I immediately knew Luis Peres was the illustrator for my children’s picture book. He captured the essence of the character flawlessly, bringing each word to life.
Whenever I share my book, before I even read it, I ALWAYS receive instant feedback on how amazing the illustrations are! Children and adults alike love the artwork, but boys, especially, are drawn to the lively and colourful characters.
Luis has been an amazing partner and is so eager to produce quality illustrations! He has motivated me to write a sequel, which will be an equally exciting collaboration.”

"Thank you for all of the time, though, and energy that you put into illustrating my story and making the dream of turning it into a children’s book happen. I felt like the story had a lot of potential, but translating it into illustrations would be really hard.
I am amazed at the way Luis has been able to translate more of the abstract concepts into images that have brought the book to life in a really fun way. The illustrations as a whole beautifully capture each thought. He created something more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. Luis was able to create a mood with the expressions so well, and his innate ability to bring the words to life in the characters seems perfect to me in every detail.
Thank you, Luis, for developing characters to be so lovable in the way that you did."

"Luis Peres was responsive and breathed life into my children’s book.
He was able to capture the images that were in my mind’s eye for over 16 years. As a result of his creative abilities, my first children’s book, The Tale of Imani the Bunny, was published in January."

"Luis Peres is a master of artistic creativity in my opinion. His characters have sprung to life in my poems and are much loved by adults and children alike. From Dad, hurtling through space in his ergonomic chair, which seems to have gone quite out of control out there in space, to a dinosaur polishing off the remains of his dinosaur friends, his work will make you laugh and laugh.
The picture, which is absolutely adored by children from 188 countries so far, is the Dragon Called Drac, who graces my Welcome Page on my main website. I couldn’t imagine that any other dragon would take his place. I am deeply indebted to him as I’ll never forget!

CONTACT
Hi!
Do you have an illustration
project for me?
Get in touch today, whether you are an independent author or a company.
Are you an independent author, with or without experience, looking for illustration services? Let's start with a free consultation. By saying 'HI!', I'll send you a storyboard showing how I structure your story as a book, along with a sample spread that gives you a glimpse of how your book could look if I illustrated it.
It's a no-obligation opportunity to see if we're a good fit for your project. And you don't have to hire me if you don't feel my style is right for your book.
And before you ask, I don't charge per pic. I charge per project. This is because one illustration might take me 8 hours, while another could take 4, 12, or much more. If I charged a flat rate per image, it could reduce my value, or cause the client to pay more than necessary. By charging per project, I can provide a flexible pricing structure that accurately reflects the time and effort required for your unique project.
So, I provide a per-project pricing model.
This approach ensures fairness for both parties.
No matter your budget, I'm here to make your dream of a professionally illustrated book a reality.
Let me know what you're looking for, and I´m confident we can find a good middle ground between what I need to make to compensate for my time and what you can invest.
I work with independent children's book authors, and companies work with me, ensuring that high-quality illustrations are accessible to all.
I charge a flat rate based on the entire project, and that's it—no hidden fees.
This way, each client is a client, and all my services are tailored and priced for each person only. This is the best way to add value to people's dreams and investments in my art. I treat authors like authors, not clients of a fast-food illustration service.
Contact me today for more details on how I work.
Welcome to ICreateWorlds.
2026 marks 34 years since I started doing this professionally and about 16 years since I started working with independent authors, so don´t be shy.
Let me know about your book and see what I can do for you.
