I have just recently authored/designed a 100 page child's coloring book of animals of the world digital which parents can download and print off specific pages for their child to color. I understand the need for simplicity of design with use of colors for children. I would need to know the story of the book to make designs that would fit within the page breaks of the book and where you would like them located so the images fit the section of the story being read. I can do the 9 illustrations in 2 days and could start on them now if awarded the winning bid. I can give you a watermarked copy of the front cover of the coloring book if you would like to see a sample of my work. I would also need to now if you wish the look of the images to be similar to the style used for the cover (photo enhanced artwork or if you wish watercolor style, pastel style, freehand (usually black and white with grey scale), color art with or without backgrounds in the designs (example of my meaning would be non-photo boy and girl playing ball with full color but no backgrounds or full color non-photo boy and girl playing ball in a front lawn with homes, sky and trees in the design but faded out on the edges like a perspective and not square rectangular like a photo framed artwork. I would need to know if it is fantasy if you have ideas of what your characters and locations should be so to incorporate them into the design or if it is people or animals, etc.
