About this service

Literary agents, publishers and crowdfunding backers want to see what your book will look like before it exists. We draw key moments of your graphic novel as a style test: your protagonist, the world and one dramatic scene, in the line, colour and mood you describe, whether that is ligne claire, moody watercolour or gritty noir. You lay the panels out as sample pages for your proposal or Kickstarter page.

What is included

  • What you getStyle-test panels of your graphic novel in one consistent look, one panel or splash per image, ready to assemble into sample pages. Delivered as PNG files; vector, layered or other source files are not included.

What we need from you

A short pitch of the book, the main characters, the scene or moments to show, the art style and palette you imagine and who you are pitching to.

We will ask you:

  • What is the book about?
  • Which moments should we draw?
  • What style and palette?
  • Who will see the pitch?

Questions and answers

Can I use these panels in the finished book?

Yes, they are yours to use. Many authors keep the style test as a reference and draw the rest of the book in the same look.

Will the pages have lettering?

No, bubbles and captions are added by you when you lay out the sample pages, so the text is exact.

Can I test two different styles?

Yes, in Premium you can split the panels between two looks, for example three in ink and three in watercolour.
