Supporting Children's Book Artistic Design

Job ID: 40294048

Budget: $250 – $750 CAD

I am creating a children's book series called Helping Hands Series, and I am looking for an illustrator/designer who can help complete the interior pages for one book.
The visual style and characters are already created, so I am not looking for someone to design the art style from scratch.
Your role will be to:
• Create 24 children's book pages
• Follow my existing illustration style (soft watercolor / storybook style)
• Use the character references I provide
• Place characters in scenes based on the story text
• Keep consistent character design across pages
• Deliver print-ready pages (8.5x8.5)
________________________________________
