Simplistic Child Adventure Line Drawings
Budget: £250 – £750 GBP
I am looking for an artist to create 21 small pencil style black and white line drawings for a children’s adventure book called The Secret Treasure
The illustrations should be based on taking up a third to half page to accompany the chapter number and chapter sub title e.g. chapter 1, a new life, chapter 2 exciting plans.
Each small illustration should depict a scene from the up and coming chapter and include some background.
e.g.four 12-year old explorers displaying characteristics of curiosity. One specific scene to be illustrated is when the young explorers gather around to study a secret map. They each have small backpacks and would be standing on a small path in front of a rock face. There is no specific requirement regarding the interaction between the characters.
Other scenes depict their young mothers being handed an old ribbon bound file.
The four children setting up tents with the rundown Manor House partially in view behind dense bushes.
The four children struggling to push open the huge church style oak doors to the rundown manor, a small pirate style chest hidden in a basement recess.
Because the illustrations are to be small, partial background to set the scene and add flavour will be acceptable.
First draft Manuscript is 25% written and will be available to act as a brief. full pre edit manuscript is expected to be completed by early-mid June
Desired Skills and Experience:
- Proficiency in creating simplistic line drawings
- Good understanding of conveying emotions (specifically curiosity) through art
- Experience in illustrating children's books would considerable bonus
- Ability to stick to deadlines and work efficiently
Your creativity plays a big part in this project so I am open to your ideas. Your input about design and other elements will be highly valued.
