Animal Abstract Children’s Illustrations

My completed children’s story is ready for visual magic and I need a skilled, human illustrator—strictly no-AI solutions—to create 36 full-color images, all set outdoors with animals. The tone is playful yet modern, leaning toward an abstract aesthetic; I will share a reference sample so you can match the looseness of line, bold palette, and imaginative shapes that first caught my eye.

Every picture should feel cohesive as part of a single world, carrying young readers through the narrative’s changing moods while maintaining consistent characters and proportions. Because the entire budget must stay under $2,500, thoughtful planning of milestones and clear revision rounds will be important.

Deliverables
• 36 finished illustrations, print-ready (CMYK, 300 dpi)
• Rough thumbnails and cleaned sketches for approval before colouring
• Final layered PSD or TIFF files plus flattened PNG/JPG versions
• Cover and back-cover art extracted from the set

Payment will be released per agreed milestones: sketches, colored drafts, and finals. If you thrive on imaginative outdoor scenes and can translate abstract style into child-friendly charm, I look forward to seeing your portfolio and discussing timelines.
