Looking for a Children’s Book Illustrator (Ongoing Series – 3+ Books)

I am looking for a talented illustrator to bring a children’s book series to life. The series follows a young bear family (Mama Bear, Papa Bear, and Baby Bear) and focuses on relatable, real-life parenting moments. One book is published already and I would like the illustrations to look similar but open to minor changes.

This is NOT a one-time project. I am building a series (5–10 books), so I am ideally looking for someone interested in a long-term partnership.

Style:

• Minimalist, cartoon style

• Bright colors

• Clean and modern (similar to current trending children’s books)

• Consistent character design across all books

Scope (per book):

• 20-25 illustrated pages

• Front and back cover

• Character reference sheet (important for consistency across future books)

What I need from you:

• Portfolio of children’s book illustrations

• Ability to match an existing style (I can provide reference)

• Willingness to collaborate and iterate

• Commercial rights included

Budget:

$1,500–$3,000 per book depending on experience and quality

Timeline:

First project to begin immediately

Please include:

• Relevant samples

• Your process

• Estimated timeline per book

Looking forward to finding the right creative partner for this series!
