: Re: Will my readers feel like they are reading a children's storybook if there are illustrations in my novel? I'm writing a novel. I also have good drawing skills. I would like to add illustrations

I can see that, in the context of a night in an art museam, pictures of items or interest would be useful and informative. If they help and enhance the story, then use them. If not, then don't - use your artistic skills in other books.

The biggest danger is using illustrations because you can, rather than because they help. If they are a positive part of the novel, then use them - it makes it slightly unusual, but in apositive way, and not a childish way.
