The influence of children’s books on the development of imagination stands out as a clear feature. Therefore, it is expected that the creative person who visualizes children’s books first captures the world of interest, and then designs new worlds using its own narrative language. This will make a significant contribution to the expansion of the child’s horizon. The child is not yet imprisoned within various perception limits, unlike the adults. This pure view creates an unlimited and free creation space for the painting. In fact, it is very common for the creative person who uses this freedom in the field of art and design to show an original personality beyond ordinary. But bringing a new or different perspective will be formed by the experimental attitude of the painter. Designing characters first to create a new world starting from a text can be considered as a practical way. The visual identity arising from the elements of the character, such as shape, color, movement and mimic, will then, of course, continue with the adaptation of the environment of that character. In other words, an environment fiction that will be designed in harmony with the character will be the original visual identity of the book. This original identity in the field of children's books painting, being experimental and the design of characters as a starting point on the example study applied in the course of children's books painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Marmara is the scope of this article. The project involves two basic stages. The first stage is the creation of a three-dimensional model for an animal. The second phase is the creation of a three-dimensional animal model based and painted and the design of an original child book.
