Cartoon Illustrations for Children’s Book
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I am producing a children’s book and need a talented illustrator who excels at a light-hearted, cartoonish style. The target readers are young kids, so every page has to burst with energy, colour and clear, easy-to-read storytelling.
Two elements matter most to me in the character work: expressive faces that instantly convey emotion, and unique outfits that help each personality stand out from the crowd. If you love inventing memorable looks and can push facial expressions beyond the ordinary, we will be a great fit.
Scope at a glance
• Full-colour cartoon illustrations for each page and cover
• Consistent character designs featuring expressive faces and distinctive clothing
• Print-ready, high-resolution files (CMYK, 300 dpi) plus web versions for promotion
• Source files (PSD, AI or layered Procreate) delivered on approval
Acceptance criteria
1. Characters match the agreed model sheet and keep proportions consistent throughout.
2. Expressions clearly communicate the written emotion on every spread.
3. Colours stay vibrant yet balanced for print; no unintended shifts between pages.
4. Final artwork passes a single test print without adjustment.
Send a link to your portfolio highlighting cartoon children’s work, and briefly note your typical turnaround time per illustration. I’m happy to answer any questions and schedule a quick chat to confirm style and workflow.
