The short answer is the copyrights are yours! Unless one of three things happen: you work as an employee and illustration is part of your job. your illustration contract contains a work-for-hire clause.
The author's name can be found after the words by or written by. The illustrator's name can be found after the words art by or illustrated by. The author and the illustrator's names can be found on the front cover of the book. Sometimes the author and illustrator are the same person.
If you're the author and illustrator, you'll get to keep the full royalty rate, which would be similar to above: around 10% with possible benchmarks that will raise it to around 15%. If you're only the illustrator, the royalties will be split equally between you and the author.
Under standard royalties, an author gets roughly 20 to 30% of the publisher's revenue for a hardcover, 15% for a trade paperback, and 25% for an eBook. So, very roughly, every hardcover release that earns out brings the author something like 25% of all revenue earned by the publisher.
So you'd quickly be found out and an author/illustrator who feels cheated by their publisher isn't a happy author. It's worth saying, of course, that, agents take a percentage (10% 15% of the author/illustrators earnings from publishers as a rough rule).
