I’m assembling a middle-grade safety guide called “What Would Grandma Do… Or Say?” and I need a gifted illustrator who works comfortably in a chapter-book style. The book speaks to 8- to 14-year-olds in a warm but no-nonsense grandmother’s voice, so the art has to feel grounded, relatable and quietly reassuring—never cartoon-cute or fantasy-bright. Scope of work • 14 interior illustrations, each depicting a specific everyday setting—elevators, parking lots, hotel corridors, bedrooms and similar spaces—where a safety lesson unfolds. • 1 eye-catching cover that matches the interior style and clearly signals “practical safety advice” without looking preachy or frightening. Visual tone & focus Realistic proportions and detail closer to editorial or classic chapter-book covers than picture-book softness. Every scene should immediately read as a familiar place a child might walk through, with the key safety element front and center yet woven naturally into the environment. Warm lighting, confident body language and a caring atmosphere are essential; dramatic shadows or horror cues are not. What I’d like to see from you Please attach past work that shows your knack for realistic, character-driven scenes in contemporary settings. Pieces that highlight subtle storytelling—especially around kids and family life—will help me gauge fit quickly. A brief note on your process and timeline is welcome, but portfolios speak loudest here. Deliverables & review • High-resolution finals in layered PSD or TIFF, CMYK for print, plus down-sampled JPGs for layout. • Two feedback rounds per piece: rough sketch approval, then color/final polish. • Consistent palette, character continuity and correct safety details across all scenes will form the acceptance criteria. If this sounds like your lane, I’m excited to see how you’d bring Grandma’s calm, practical wisdom to life.

Hi, this sounds like a really meaningful project. I like that you’re going for a realistic chapter-book style instead of something overly cartoonish — that actually fits the tone of “practical safety” really well, especially with everyday environments like elevators, hotels, parking lots, etc. I can handle both the cover and interior illustrations and keep everything visually consistent across the 14 scenes. Timeline: around 6–8 weeks depending on revision rounds If you want, I can also start with 1 rough sample scene first so you can see the direction before we move forward.
