Illustrated Fantasy Kids Book
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I am ready to turn a playful, fantasy-driven tale for children aged 4–7 into a fully illustrated picture book. The story should sparkle with friendly dragons, whimsical forests, or any other imaginative twist you feel suits this age group, but the language must remain simple enough for early readers and read-aloud sessions.
Every page will need bright, cartoonish artwork that matches the lighthearted tone—think expressive characters, bold colours, and clear visual storytelling that helps little ones follow the plot even before they can read every word. Please keep consistency in style, palette, and character proportions from start to finish so the book feels cohesive.
Key deliverables:
• Complete manuscript (roughly 500–800 words) broken into page spreads
• Character sketches and a colour palette approved before final art begins
• Full-colour illustrations for each spread plus a captivating cover
• Print-ready PDF (bleed, crop marks) and high-resolution separate image files for digital use
I’ll handle printing once files are ready, so the final layouts must meet standard picture-book specifications (8.5"×11" or similar; we can confirm exact trim size together). All text should be placed with adequate safe margins, and fonts embedded or outlined.
Please let me know your estimated timeline for roughs, revisions, and final art. I’m excited to see your cartoon style bring this fantasy world to life!
