pen and ink illustrations for children's book

Job ID: 37253354

Budget: £750 – £1,500 GBP

I am looking for an experienced and creative illustrator to create pen and ink illustrations for a children's book. I would like the illustrations to have a style that conveys both whimsy and the pathos of the story, and the project will involve 9 illustrations and a book cover that will be black and white. There is one human character, that should be based on a photograph, and four animals characters (three distinctively different wolves and a beaver). There is a fantasy/dreamlike element to the story and a setting is a forest that is a character of itself, being sinister and representing the sub-conscious. Previous experience creating illustrations for a children's book is beneficial, and I am eager to see what the illustrator can come up with. I will share some of my own sketches and photos, once I have identified potential illustrators.
