I’m working on a heartfelt children’s book and need a talented illustrator who can create warm, playful hand-drawn artwork that brings the story to life. The book follows Samantha, a young white American girl with blue eyes and blonde hair, and her older sister, Jessica, who is African American. After both sisters develop epilepsy due to separate events, they embark on a journey to spread awareness about epilepsy and teach others that it’s not something to fear or control. Key deliverables: - Hand-drawn illustrations (pencil, watercolor, or similar styles preferred). - Visuals that reflect emotionally engaging moments from the sisters' journey. - Bright colors and clear visual storytelling suitable for young readers. Requirements: - Experience in illustrating children’s books. - Style consistency throughout the project. - Final illustrations delivered as high-resolution (300 dpi) print-ready files (CMYK PNG or layered PSD). Please share samples of your work that showcase similar themes or styles. Let me know your revision policy and how soon you could start.

I'm sure I have something I can show that might be similar to what you need.

If this book is for children I would suggest watercolor, Its getting back in fashion (since everyone can use photoshop, but not everyone knows how to draw/paint) Regarding revision policy. Over the years I have developed the following system: 1. I do character sketch/ sample so I know what you want and you know I can deliver. 2. You send me the story and ideas for scenes *(if you have any) 3. I do simple sketches of scenes (you accept/ I do changes) 4. I do more detailed sketches 5. If you accept sketches I do the final drawings. Keep in mind that If you want classic technique (for example watercolor, crayons) changes after accepting final sketches would mean redrawing the scene.
