illustrations for a children's book

I am looking to hire a talented illustrator to create realistic-style illustrations for my children's book. I would like between 10-20 illustrations, with a view to having a consistent style across the book. I have a general idea for the desired colors and color schemes, but I am happy to be flexible and take guidance from the illustrator. The successful candidate will need to demonstrate excellent creative and technical skills, able to produce high-quality and engaging artwork that adds depth and atmosphere to the story. I'm excited to see what ideas the illustrator can bring to this project, so please send through some of your best work if you feel you have the necessary skillset to take on this project.
