I am looking for an illustrator who is experienced in drawing African-American and other multicultural characters for children’s books.


Sketch Must-Haves:

- A creative vision

This sketch is to see if you are the right person for a larger children’s book project I am working on. It is a paid sketch and work-for-hire, which means I will own the illustration even if you are not hired for the larger project.


The final character sketch should be delivered in ALL of the following formats:

  2. Jpeg
  3. Clean Black & White Line Art
  4. Native File/Master File (PSD, AI, etc.)
  5. Colored in images/page

I have not attached examples of the illustration style that I am looking for as I am open to different illustration styles.  Please only apply if you are confident with illustrating.

Again, I am looking for an Illustrator who can: 

  1. creatively place the text onto the illustrations
  2. design the book cover
  3. format for Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, and Kindle download 

This project is time sensitive.

  3. IngramSpark Book Cover

  4. Amazon KDP (Soft Cover)

  5. IngramSpark (Hardcover)


Please ONLY APPLY if you can complete the entire project within the proposed budget. 


Please note that this is a work-for-hire, and I will own all rights to the illustrations.

Final images must be provided as follows:

  1. A single, high-resolution PDF file 

  2. Size 8"x10" or 8.5 x 8.5 (400 dpi or above)

  3. Individually in .jpg and .psd file formats

  4. I’d prefer to also receive the high res final line art of each image before they are colored


Thank you for your interest and time!  I look forward to hearing from you!
