Project Title Children’s Book Illustrator Needed – Unique Cartoon Style (32 Page Picture Book Series) Project Description I am looking for an experienced illustrator to collaborate with on a children’s picture book project. This will be the first book in a two-book series and I am hoping to build a long-term working relationship with the right illustrator. The book centers around a 5-year-old boy with red hair and freckles. The story takes place in a classroom and community setting and includes the following characters: • Main character – 5 year old boy with red hair and freckles • 5 classmates • 3 adults The book will be approximately 32 pages in length and should include expressive character illustrations and engaging environments suitable for young children. Illustration Style I am looking for a unique, whimsical cartoon style that feels warm, playful, and memorable for children. The style should feel original and character-driven rather than generic stock illustration. Important: • No AI generated artwork • All artwork must be hand illustrated or digitally illustrated by the artist Deliverables • Character design for the main boy character • Illustrations for a 32 page children’s book • Front cover illustration • Final files formatted for print publishing Before selecting an illustrator, I would like to see a sample sketch of the boy character to understand the artist’s style and interpretation. Publishing Requirements It would be a strong advantage if the illustrator has experience preparing children’s books for: • IngramSpark • Amazon KDP Understanding trim sizes, bleed settings, and print-ready formatting is important for this project. Series Opportunity This project is part of a two book series with a similar storyline structure. Book 1 – centered around the boy character Book 2 – centered around a girl character The goal is to maintain a consistent illustration style across both books. Timeline I am aiming for the first book to release in February 2027, so there is plenty of time to collaborate thoughtfully and create something special. Budget I am hoping to keep the illustration budget under $1,200 plus gratuity per book. This project is very meaningful to me, and I am looking for an illustrator who enjoys collaboration and would like to work together as a team throughout the process. If you are interested, please include: • Samples of previous children’s book illustrations • Your approach to character design • Experience with IngramSpark or KDP (if applicable) • A sample sketch idea for the boy character I am excited to find the right illustrator and begin creating something memorable for children.

Hi there, I’ve read your project brief carefully and understand that you’re looking for a unique, whimsical cartoon illustrator to bring your 32-page children’s book to life. The story centers on a 5-year-old boy with red hair and freckles, set in classroom and community environments, with expressive characters and engaging illustrations suitable for young readers. You’re seeking hand-drawn or fully digital illustrations not AI-generated and the style should feel original, playful, and character-driven. My approach will begin with designing the main boy character, capturing his personality, age, and distinctive features through expressive sketches. Once the character is approved, I will create full illustrations for each page, plus the front cover, ensuring that the environments, classmates, and adults maintain visual consistency. I will also prepare print-ready files formatted for IngramSpark and Amazon KDP, with correct trim sizes, bleeds, and resolutions for publishing. Throughout, I will provide sketches and drafts for your review to allow collaborative feedback. PORTFOLIO: https://www.freelancer.com/u/AneesaIBA?w=f&ngsw-bypass= Could you clarify if the book will have full-page illustrations on each page or a mix of full-page and spot illustrations? I can deliver engaging, memorable illustrations that are ready for print and maintain a cohesive style across both books in the series. Cheers, Rabia Shaikh

Hi, Your project sounds wonderful, and I would love to help illustrate your children’s book series. Creating expressive characters and warm, whimsical environments for young readers is something I truly enjoy. For this project, I would begin by designing the main boy character (red hair and freckles) and sharing a few sketch concepts so we can refine his personality and style together before moving into the full book illustrations. Once the character is approved, I would develop the classroom and community scenes, ensuring the illustrations feel playful, expressive, and engaging for children. I work with fully hand-drawn or digitally illustrated artwork no AI so the characters feel original and full of life. I also have experience preparing illustrations for print publishing, including proper trim size, bleed, and formatting for platforms like Amazon KDP and IngramSpark. Deliverables would include: • Main character design and refinement • Full illustrations for the 32-page book • Front cover illustration • Print-ready files formatted for publishing I’m also very open to building a long-term collaboration so both books in the series maintain a consistent style and storytelling feel. You can view my portfolio here: https://www.freelancer.com/u/Humaumair12 I would be happy to create a quick sample sketch concept of the boy character once we connect. Best regards, Huma
