Children’s Book Illustrations -- 2

I have four small children’s stories, each running to twenty-five pages, and now need every page brought to life in a light, cartoonish style rendered with soft pastel colours. Although the drawings should feel playful, they must still capture the real-life likenesses of my family, and one pet who appear throughout the tales. These books are a personal gift set, never intended for commercial sale, so creative freedom is welcome as long as the characters remain recognizable.

The scenes and books follow my late father in law from childhood to adulthood—nothing fantastical, just warm slice-of-life moments. I will supply reference photos and the written stories; you will transform them into finished art ready for print.

Deliverables
• 100 full-page illustrations (25 for each book) in a cohesive pastel palette
• A simple cover illustration for each title that matches the interior style
• Initial character sketches and colour tests for approval before the final pass
• Print-ready 8.5 x 8.5 illustrations

If you enjoy capturing real people in a soft, animated manner and can maintain consistency across a multi-book project, I’d love to collaborate and treasure the end result for years to come.

A short Zoom call will be required to start the project to ensure no misunderstandings!
