Children’s Book Character Illustration
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I’m developing a new picture book and need a memorable, cartoon-style character brought to life. The assignment centres on character design only, tailored specifically for a children’s book audience, so charm, clarity and big expressions are essential.
Here’s what I’ll need from you:
• A full-body, colour illustration of the main character.
• Three additional poses or facial expressions that show distinct emotions (e.g., joy, surprise, determination).
• High-resolution PNG files (minimum 3000 px on the longest side, transparent background) plus the layered source file in PSD or AI.
• Palette swatches and a brief note on any key design decisions so future pages stay consistent.
• Transfer of full commercial rights on final approval.
I’ll provide a short character bio, story context, and a mood board to guide style and palette choices. Two feedback rounds are built into the schedule; quick sketches first, refined line-art next, and final colour after sign-off.
If your portfolio showcases lively, cartoonish characters that leap off the page and spark a child’s imagination, I’d love to see it. Let me know how you structure your workflow and the typical turnaround time for your first concept. I’m excited to collaborate and create a character kids will instantly adore.
