Whimsical Children's Outdoor Adventure Illustrations
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
We are seeking a talented illustrator to create approximately 20 whimsical - surreal illustrations for a children's picture book (10 spreads - 10 single.) We also needs a cover. This book gently blends fantasy and realism with a story about a magical fish who brings hope to a town. The book is centered around a town pond surrounded by pine trees and a walking trail, so the illustrations will need to capture the excitement and wonder of various outdoor scenes.
Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Proven track record in children's book illustration
- Strong portfolio showcasing whimsical surrealism
- Ability to depict outdoor scenes with creativity and detail
- Experience working with more than 20 illustrations for a single project
- Excellent communication skills and ability to meet deadlines.
- Prefer AI is Not used.
- Ability to create a larger than life Koi fish, a grandfather and grandson and lots of townspeople. The illustrations should primarily convey a magical and awe-inspiring mood.
Illustrations should be created using traditional mediums like watercolor or ink. We hope to vet 2-3 illustrators by providing the 400 word story and asking for a sample spread. A storyboard prior to coloring art. We need to be cost conscious so new illustrators are encouraged to consider, as well as seasoned illustrators who are seeking a Caldecott!
The complete set of illustrations will need to be finished within 6 months.
