My picture book for children aged 4–7 is almost ready to print, and now it needs the magic of colourful, engaging illustrations. The story runs sixteen spreads, so I anticipate a polished cover, full-page interior scenes, and a few small spot pieces, though we can finalise the exact count once you have seen the manuscript. I’m open on style—whether your strength is playful cartoon work, gentle watercolours, or a more graphic approach, the key is clear storytelling that keeps early readers curious and smiling. Each illustration must be delivered in high-resolution RGB for digital review and CMYK print-ready format, along with the layered source files (PSD, AI, or Procreate). After you read the manuscript we’ll agree on a visual direction, rough storyboard, deadlines for roughs, colour finals, and any revisions. When the art is complete, I’ll credit you prominently in the book and can supply a printed copy for your portfolio. If you love bringing youthful characters and worlds to life, share a link to your portfolio and a brief note on your typical timeline per page so we can get started.

Hi there, I have read and understood the project details. You need colourful, engaging illustrations for a children’s picture book aimed at ages 4–7, covering approximately 16 spreads, with a polished cover, full-page scenes, and supporting spot illustrations. The priority is clear visual storytelling, expressive characters, and a style that keeps young readers engaged. I’ll develop the artwork in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, or Procreate where a more painterly approach suits the story. I’ll first review the manuscript and establish the character designs, colour palette, environments, and overall visual direction before moving into rough storyboards and final illustrations. I’ll keep the artwork consistent across every spread and prepare both RGB review files and CMYK print-ready artwork with layered source files. Could you share the complete manuscript and any character descriptions or visual references you already have? Also, do you have a specific trim size, printer specification, or bleed requirement for the final book? ✅ PORTFOLIO: https://www.freelancer.com/u/AneesaIBA/Graphics-Animation I can provide relevant children’s/character illustration examples and structure the project around approved roughs, colour finals, and agreed revision stages. Cheers, Rabia Shaikh
