Soft Watercolor Storybook Illustrations Needed

I have completed the manuscript for a children’s picture book aimed at readers aged 4–7 and now need a talented illustrator to bring every scene to life. The look I have in mind is a gentle, soft watercolor style that feels warm and classic—something you might find in a timeless storybook. Each part of the tale will be paired with a full-page illustration, so the art should flow with the text and capture the mood, expressions, and subtle details that young readers love to explore.

Everything must be created by you, by hand or digital brush, with no AI assistance. Once the artwork is approved, I will require the full rights transferred to me so the book can be published in print and digital formats without restriction.

Deliverables
• One full-page, high-resolution (300 dpi) illustration per story spread
• Layered source files (PSD, Procreate, or similar) plus flattened print-ready TIFF/PNG
• A signed rights-transfer agreement upon final payment

If this gentle watercolor approach excites you, let’s discuss timelines, your creative process, and any portfolio pieces that show similar work.
