Cartoon Illustrations for Children’s Book
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I’ve written a playful children’s story and want each scene to burst with colour and personality through a distinctly cartoonish style. Together we’ll decide how many images the book needs; the final count will probably sit somewhere between a handful of spot illustrations and a full set of page-turning spreads, plus a front cover.
You’re free to work in whatever medium you prefer—digital tablets, traditional watercolor that’s later scanned, coloured pencils—so long as the final files arrive print-ready (300 dpi, CMYK) and large enough for standard picture-book trim sizes.
Here’s what I’d like delivered:
• Rough character sketches for approval
• Full-colour finals for each agreed scene
• A layered source file (PSD, Procreate, or equivalent) for every illustration
• One round of minor tweaks after I review the finals
Vibrant palettes, expressive faces, and clear storytelling will catch my eye. If this sounds like your wheelhouse, please send a link to your portfolio showing similar cartoon work and let me know how you usually structure timelines for projects of this scope.
