A method of producing a liquid developer which comprises a high insulation solution and toner particles dispersed in the solution is provided. The method comprises the steps of: a kneading step for kneading a material containing a pigment and a resin material to obtain a kneaded material; a water-based emulsion preparing step for preparing a water-based emulsion, the water-based emulsion comprising a dispersoid composed of a material for the toner particles which has been prepared based on the kneading material and a water-based dispersion medium constituted from a water-based liquid in which the dispersoid is dispersed; a dispersion medium removal step for removing the dispersion medium to obtain dry fine particles; and a dispersing step for dispersing the dry fine particles into the high insulation liquid. According to the liquid developer producing method, it is possible to provide a liquid developer in which toner particles having a small particle size distribution and having a uniform shape are dispersed, and such a liquid developer can be produced with a method harmless to environment.
