Children’s Book Watercolor Illustrations
Budget: $250 – $750 AUD
I’m putting together a bright, lovable picture book for children aged 3–5 and I’d like your help bringing it to life. The tale already has its cast of characters—think cuddly animals—and I need 10–15 full-page illustrations in a colourful line-and-wash watercolour style.
Here’s what I’m after:
• Rough character sheet based on my reference sketches so we lock in proportions, colours, and expressions early.
• Thumbnail storyboard covering each spread to confirm pacing and composition.
• 10–15 final watercolour illustrations (300 DPI, CMYK), cleanly scanned or created digitally to preserve the handmade feel.
• A front-cover piece that ties the look together.
• Final files delivered as layered PSD or high-resolution PNG/TIFF, ready for print and e-book formatting.
Soft, playful palettes and visible brush textures are important—kids should feel the warmth of real paint on paper. I’m happy to review pencil layouts and colour roughs before you move on to the finished art, and I’ll provide clear feedback at each step to keep revisions efficient.
If you love illustrating for little readers and have a portfolio that shows fluid ink lines paired with vibrant washes, I’d love to see your work and discuss timelines.
