Illustrations for a book (Amazon KDP): knots, plants, medical techniques
Project Description:
I need black and white illustrations for a book that will be published on Amazon KDP. The main goal is to create clear illustrations for the following types of instructions:
- Knots: 13 types of knots (for example, Bowline, Reef Knot, Clove Hitch, etc.), each illustration should be accompanied by step-by-step images.
- Plants and their names: illustrations of plants with their names, so that the species can be easily recognized.
- Survival medical techniques: basic medical techniques for survival with step-by-step illustrations.
Example of instructions for knots:
Bowline (Bend Knot):
Step 1: Hold the end of the rope in your left hand and leave a small tail — this will create a loop.
Step 2: Pass the rope from the right under the left rope, then pull the top part from the right up through the created loop.
Step 3: Wrap the top part of the rope around the left rope from bottom to top.
Step 4: Pass the top part of the rope back down inside the created loop.
Step 5: Tighten the knot by pulling the top part of the rope and the tail of the rope down to secure the loop around the object.
Step 6: Check the knot for strength to ensure it holds firmly and does not slip.
Reef Knot (Flat Knot):
Step 1: Hold the two ends of the ropes parallel to each other. Cross the left rope over the right so they intersect in the center.
Step 2: Pass the left rope under the right and through the formed loop.
Step 3: Now take the right rope and cross it over the left, creating an opposite cross.
Step 4: Pass the right rope under the left and again through the loop.
Step 5: Tighten both ropes up and towards the center to form the "Reef Knot".
Clove Hitch (Binding Knot):
Step 1: Pass the rope behind the object (for example, a post) to which you want to tie the rope, and cross it over the top of the object to create a loop.
Step 2: Pass the end of the rope under the created loop, then wrap it around the object from the top again.
Step 3: Tighten the knot.
Project Requirements:
- Illustrations must be adapted for a book page size of 8.5x11 inches.
- All images can be either black and white or colored depending on the concept of the book.
- Each illustration should include a title, the drawing itself, and the instruction text.
Expected Result:Clear and detailed illustrations that are easily perceived by the readers of the book and meet KDP printing standards.

Hello, Stanislav!
I will create illustrations based on your specifications.
I will make a sketch, we will agree on the details, and I will draw the final illustration.
I suggest doing one illustration with a knot as a test, perhaps the first one on your list.
This way, you will understand if I am suitable for you.

I am interested in your project to create illustrations for a book. I have experience in developing illustrations for books and instructions, including creating clear step-by-step images. I understand the importance of clear and detailed illustrations, especially for topics such as knots, survival, and plant identification, and I am ready to complete the project according to KDP standards.
My approach to black-and-white illustrations
For black-and-white illustrations, I use a clear line drawing technique with an emphasis on the clarity of form and sequence of actions. This helps ensure visual clarity so that even in black-and-white execution, the details are easily distinguishable and the reader's perception is intuitive.
Experience and work samples
I am ready to provide examples of my previous projects, including black-and-white and color illustrations for books and educational materials. This will allow you to assess the quality and style of my work.
Color illustrations
I also have experience creating color illustrations for print. If a decision is made for a color version of the book, I will suggest a palette that will make the instructions even more appealing and understandable for the reader. Color illustrations generally require more time to develop, but this will add additional aesthetic value to the book.
