B&W Children’s Book Illustrations
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I’m finalising a children’s story aimed at early school-age readers (6–8) and I want the pictures to feel as if they’ve leapt straight from a lively sketchbook. I’m looking for 10–20 black-and-white line drawings that capture the key plot moments—those pivotal scenes where the hero makes a discovery, faces a challenge or enjoys a triumphant laugh.
The style should be loose, charming and readable at first glance, with enough detail to hold a child’s attention yet not so much that the page feels crowded. Think expressive characters, confident strokes, minimal shading and strong silhouettes. All artwork must be print-ready at 300 dpi for a 6" × 9" trim size; layered PSD or high-res PNG files are both fine.
Deliverables (for clarity):
• 10–20 finished illustrations, each on its own canvas
• Source files with layers intact
• One round of tweaks after first draft delivery
If you have a portfolio that shows similar sketch-style pieces, please share it so I can be sure your vibe matches the story. I look forward to bringing these pages to life together!
