Description
NB: It is not my intention to insult artists' craft. Very simple sketches are requested (probably less than 5 mins per sketch)
I'm looking for an illustrator to create characters in my new children's book: "A Panda's Purpose."
It is just a vanity publication - I don't foresee myself becoming the next Julia Donaldson.
One small sketch per character. Possibly at a later stage I might require a further commission for pictures (per page) in the book.
A young, cute Panda
An Elephant dragging a tree
A Warthog in the mud
A Skunk
A Chimpanzee hanging by her tail in a tree
A royal Lion
A wise Hippopotamus
I like lighter, pastel colours; in my mind the illustrations would be more like Winnie the Pooh and Peter Rabbit than the heavy, bold colours of kids cartoons.
Thank you
Paul W.

Budget farcical..
Paul W.21 Aug 2018Thanks for your comment. I have edited the fee for this project. Apologies if you felt it was an insult to the your craft. That was not my intention. You may think the fee is still too low however it is my intention to receive basic sketches, taking less than 4-5 minutes each, not major pieces of time-consuming art.
RegardsPPH User21 Aug 2018Good that you edited the fee,wish more people on here would do the same.$5 per drawing was farcical and I stand by that.It's probably good that PPH refused to publish my initial comment.Don't forget drawings only take a few minutes because pros know exactly what they are doing and those skills take a long time to develop...
Thanks for reply and good luck -
Is that your project price flexible?

Madhumita S.22 Aug 2018Thanks sir for your response :-)
Do you have any reference?
Kindly Regards, -
Once People Per Hour have taken their cut, these illustrations equate to just over $5 each. You might want to reconsider your budget if you want to have something remotely professional?
Paul W.21 Aug 2018Thanks for the enquiry. I understand the fee isn't ground breaking - it's similar to the fees I have to accept when someone wants music composed. I don't intend to insult artists' craft, my apologies if you feel that way. The intention isn't to receive a stunning and complete piece of art, more of a sample sketch with which I might choose to pursue for the book. I would expect the artist to spend less than 2 minutes on each character and I have received some good proposals with that in mind.
Thanks againAlan B.22 Aug 2018Much more realistic, thank you Paul for taking the time to respond.

Is the budget for one illustration or for all?
Paul W.21 Aug 2018Thank you. Simple sketches, for all.
Poonam L.21 Aug 2018Hi Paul,
Thank you so much for your reply.
Can you share one example of such a sketch, maybe just any Google image, so that I can finally drop my proposal right away.
Thank you and Regards -
is the budget 50 dollars for all drawings or per drawing, because it seems very very low for that amount of work.
