I’m putting together a children’s book and need a talented illustrator who can create warm, playful hand-drawn artwork from start to finish. The project calls for classic, important, story-book charm rather than slick vector graphics; pencil, AI, or watercolor that can be scanned at high resolution is perfect.

Here’s the plan: I’ll supply page-by-page briefs, character descriptions, and rough layout suggestions. You bring the scenes to life, deliver print-ready files (300 dpi, CMYK-friendly PNG or layered PSD), and allow a reasonable round of tweaks so every spread feels cohesive. Style consistency, clear lines, and bright, engaging colors suitable for young readers are key.

Acceptance criteria
• Hand-drawn look maintained throughout
• Clean, high-resolution files ready for print
• Final artwork delivered within the agreed timeline

If you can keep costs down while still producing delightful illustrations, please share samples of previous children’s work, outline your revision policy, and let me know how soon you could start. I’m excited to see your creativity on the page!
