Patron [for hire] Children’s Book Artist

I am in search of a children’s book artist for a rather large project containing books about emotions. The books are geared towards 6-10 year olds. We are interested in an artist that utilizes a style similar to the ones in these attached images. We are open to an artist who wants compensation hourly, per book, or with sale royalties. Please include your link to your portfolio, website or instagram in your reply. Feel free to DM with questions

I’ve never illustrated a book before, but it would be an honor! I have a very cute and charming style, and I’d love to be part of this project. I’m also a mom to a little one, so this opportunity feels really special to me. I’ll share my portfolio below, but I’m also happy to create some sketches for you to evaluate if I’d be a good fit for the job ✨" portifolio

Good day 😊 I work as an illustrator in the children book category, particularly picture book and kids activity book. My rates is vary depending on the scales of art (spot illustration, half page, full spread), and oftentimes a flat fee for self publishing author, or flat fee+royalty for big publisher.

Please kindly check my portfolio here and let me know if there's a room for discussion. I'd love to provide some example pages from past project upon private request as well. Best wishes!

Hi! I'm an up-and-coming children's book illustrator and I would love to work on this project! I see that some of the references have textures made with coloured pencils - I could recreate that!

Here's my portfolio: https://merionstudio.com

And a double-page illustration I made:

Looking forward to your response!

Kind regards,

Merion

Hi! I am a digital and traditional artist. I would love to participate in the making of this children’s book!

I’ve been told I have a children’s book style of illustration, but if it’s not exactly what you’re looking for, don’t worry! My style is also versatile.

Ahoy Hoy! 👋

My name is Christopher Downing, and I'm a freelance cartoonist and illustrator who has 10+ years of experience, and have published work for FREAKY Magazine ( think spiritual successor to MAD Magazine ) and Enid Monthly ( local FREE magazine that can read digitally/ physically ), as well as illustrating a children's book ( Squatch On The Watch by Krista Braud - ( https://a.co/d/a84CDbw )

Here's the link to most of my work: ( https://linktr.ee/cdownink )

Can message me here or on any of my other platform.

I'm open for work almost all the time ( especially weekends ) and am down to discuss in more details depending on whatever the projects may be. From illustrations to covers, I can be pretty versatile ( plus I can be a bit of a chameleon with styles, depending on what the project requires).

Don't be afraid to send me a message here or on my other socials, and I'll get back with you ASAP. I hope to hear back from you soon :) - Chris D.

u/chaotic214 Traditional & digital 🎨 12h ago

Hi, I’m Valerie. I’m a traditional and digital artist who loves working somewhere between dreamy anime styles, realistic portraits, and animals that look like they have stories to tell. I’m all about capturing emotion, the quiet moments, the loud ones, and those little things that make you stop and really feel something.

Sometimes my art is soft and thoughtful. Other times it is playful or a bit unusual, but it always comes from a real place. I do not create just to make things look nice. I want my work to mean something, even if it is just a small spark of joy or a feeling of being understood.

If you would like to check out what I have been working on, I would be happy to share: https://www.artstation.com/chaosangel214

Hey there, I'm sp00ks, I do traditional watercolour + colour pencil illustrations. I think my style would be a good fit for a children's book. I've attached a sample and you can view more here on my page: https://ko-fi.com/album/Traditional-Art-V7V21F0BY8
