I'm a middle-aged closeted writer looking to get my first project off the shelf! I am SO ready. Don't hate me for the slow start! I work full time, teach college business writing so spend large clots of time reading less-than-inspiring prose, and have myriad beloveds and causes. But 2018 is my year. I really mean this. If you can't help me, I'll find someone who can, so no pressure and no worries!
I'm looking for an artist to illustrate a children's book I've written. It's a simple modern tale in which a boy manages to tackle a dreaded task with a little help from magic. He also discovers a bit about authenticity--and about kindness to oneself, not just others--along the way. I'm hoping it's funny, too, in an understated, whimsical way.
I was blissfully transported by books as a girl: Madeline L'Engle, anything with an unlikely girl heroine, and the color-bound fairy tale books: Red, Green, Blue, Violet, etc. Once I had my son, my favorite children's books to read him were by Roald Dahl, illustrated by Quentin Blake, and William Steig, illustrated by the author. And let us not forget another Quentin Blake favorite, How Tom Beat Captain Najork and his Hired Sportsmen. My highest ambition is to write a book that some child, somewhere, will absolutely die for and keep checking out of the library and read over and over, or talk their parent into buying. Right up there with that dream is another: to write a book (hopefully the same book) that parents will love to read aloud.
Are you familiar with those illustrators? Do you love them? Do you like to draw slightly wicked characters or sly kids who enjoy getting away with something? I may need you!
**KINDNESS TO ONESELF, NOT JUST OTHERS**
Hello.
My name is Aveliya and I really love to work with children's illustration.
Each of my children's illustrations is kind and warm, positive and bright colors))).
If you intend to get high quality and excellent service (communication) - this is what I want to offer you.
I need to know the history and the number of illustrations to give you the exact price. Since the budget for 2 illustrations and for 10 - will be different.
The price may be cheaper or more expensive.
Please write to me and we will discuss the details.

PORTFOLIO
Part of my work you can see on this site. But there are not all illustrations and the styles that I can offer you.
(*By agreement with employers).
You can write to me and I will send more examples.
---
I always read the description of the project before send my offer.
I do not support copy/paste, I think it's weird and mechanical :).
After all, if I can not spend one minute to read the description, where is the guarantee that I will continue to pay attention to details in order to get a great result?
Hey there!
So you want watercolor illustrations in a similar style as Quentin Blake's? How many illustrations would you be needing in total? And would you be providing descriptions for each one? My process would be to do this by hand then digitize it, I would first provide you with some rough sketches for you to approve of then being painting - If you initiate the chat I can send you some *watermarked* samples not available in my profile
Anyway, I could start working on this right now, just let me know!
Cheers!

Hi! I'm a novel freelancer illustrator with experience and skill in most styles and techniques of drawing and illustration. I also consider myself very strict with the quality of my art and wouldn't stop trying until my proposal matches perfectly with my employer's request.
Hi there, I've read the description and I will be happy to draw these illustrations for you. I'm mostly into character art so I will be able to deliver quality work on time. I've been creating cartoons, caricatures, comic book characters, art for kids. Please see the attached samples. I can provide more if required.
Hello,
I’ll begin by saying I admire your passion and guts to reach for your dream. I feel that we could work very well together given my proclivity to embody early/late 90s childhood favorites like daria, danny phantom and bugs bunny in my characters.
I’m a Miami based illustrator and concept artist specializing in character design and bringing stories to life. I also have a lightning fast turnover time, so I can have rough drafts over to you within a couple of hours and completed designs done within 48 hrs.
Check out my portfolio for my art style.
I know Freelancer is flooded with creative talent but most of them will be spam applying to maximize profits and won’t bother to listen to your vision about your book.
Cheers,
Rafee Ahmed
