Professional Children’s Book Illustrator – Long-Term Project

! PLEASE NOTE: The budget displayed in this posting is a placeholder. We are looking for realistic quotes from applicants.

Description:
We are looking for a professional illustrator to bring a series of children’s books to life. The project involves coloring and enhancing pre-drawn sketches (raw line art) for each page, following a provided color palette and style guide. Minor background enhancements are welcome to enrich the illustrations. A before-and-after example will be provided.

Project Details:
- Each book contains approximately 30 pages, including the cover.

- We plan to produce between 6 and 10 books over a 6-month period.

- A paid test assignment (either a poster or a double-page spread) will be required before final selection. This test illustration will not be published in the books.

- Selected illustrators will be engaged under a contract in compliance with French copyright law and will be required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).


Requirements:
- Professional experience in children’s book illustration.

- Strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) and understanding of the complete illustration workflow.

- Ability to follow a color palette and style guide while adding subtle enhancements where appropriate.

- Fluent in English and/or French.

How to Apply:
- Please provide a realistic price estimate for the full project.

- Only serious professional illustrators should apply. Low-ball bids will not be considered; quality and reliability are our priorities.

- Up to three illustrators will be selected for the paid test assignment before the final decision.

This is a long-term and ambitious project. If you are a skilled, professional illustrator ready to commit to a multi-book project while respecting confidentiality, we would love to hear from you.
