Cartoon Children’s Book Illustrator Needed

I have a finished children’s manuscript that now needs to come alive visually through bright, engaging cartoonish illustrations. The tone is playful and friendly, so I’m looking for an artist whose style naturally appeals to young readers and their parents.

The project covers everything a picture book typically requires: full-page spreads, spot scenes where text needs extra pop, and an eye-catching cover that will work both in print and in digital storefronts. I will supply the final layout template, page count, and pacing notes as soon as we start so you can plan each composition with confidence.

Key deliverables
• Rough sketches for every page or spread
• Polished, full-colour artwork in high-resolution (300 dpi CMYK for print, RGB copies for ebook)
• Layered source files (PSD or Procreate) so text placement can be adjusted later
• A wraparound cover illustration prepared to the printer’s exact bleed and trim specs

I’ll review sketches first, provide consolidated feedback within two days, and sign off before you move to colour. Final files should be ready for send-off to the printer, with a separate web-optimised set for online use. If this imaginative, cartoon-led children’s project sounds like a match for your portfolio, I’d love to see a few relevant samples and discuss your timeline.
