When I do the illustrations for my books, I measure out the size my illustrations need to be and then I add a two inch border. It gives the folks at the printers a place to hold onto without having to touch your original artwork. I also (try) to paint @ half an inch beyond my outline to allow the designers some leeway. My sister Heather usually designs my books and she is always saying that I'm not painting over the line enough. The above was sent to my publisher from the printer and then passed on to me. It helped me to see the exact size the illustrations needed to be. Next time I will ask for this BEFORE I start painting...
