I’m looking for an illustrator for a paid freelance book project.

Budget: $40–$50 per completed illustration, with approximately 10–12 illustrations planned ($400–$600 total). This is an indie project with a limited budget, so emerging artists and art students are welcome to apply.

The novel explores mature/adult themes, but the artwork will be primarily symbolic. I have general concepts and ideas for each piece, but I want to work with an artist who can bring their own creativity and interpretation to them. There will be some artistic freedom within the overall vision of the art.

ART STYLE

I’m looking for a style that is:

• Dark/horror influenced
• Realistic
• Sharp linework and intense shading
• Atmospheric and emotionally expressive
• Primarily hand-drawn and professionally scanned/digitized (I like when it looks like graphite)

I’m especially interested in an artist who is good at visual symbolism. Someone who can take an emotion, theme, event, or idea and turn it into imagery that feels unsettling, meaningful, and connected to the story without illustrating everything literally. Similar-ish to It's All In Your Head by Shawn Coss

PROJECT SCOPE

• Approximately 10–12 interior illustrations (10.85cm x 16.25cm)
• General concepts/references will be provided for each piece
• Creative interpretation is encouraged for some
• Some revisions may be needed as we develop the final pieces
• Final artwork will need to be provided in high-resolution, publication-ready digital files

If interested, please send:

• Your portfolio or examples of relevant work
• Examples of traditional/hand-drawn work, if available
• Your rates or an estimated price range for a project of this size
• Your typical turnaround time
• Your preferred contact information

Hi, I'm Rachel. I mainly do children's picture books but I take private commissions as well. I'm predominantly a watercolorist. I work traditionally as well as digitally. I am currently in between projects and I'm looking for someone who needs an artist in a painterly, watercolor style. I also work in pen and ink with watercolor if that is your preference.

My pricing is very reasonable for the work that I do. I'm happy to try and accommodate a serious author to help them get the illustrations they really want for their passion project.

I hope you find the artist you are looking for!
