Seeking Illustrator for Cozy, Educational Women’s Wellness Coloring Book
Only freelancers located in the U.S. may apply.U.S. located freelancers only
I’m looking for an illustrator to create an original adult coloring book for women navigating their health and wellness journeys, including those taking GLP-1 medications. The aesthetic should be cozy, playful, feminine, encouraging, and full of personality. Think charming everyday scenes featuring relatable women, inviting surroundings, gentle humor, and supportive messages. This should feel like a beautiful modern coloring book—not a clinical workbook, a generic affirmation journal, or a diet-culture publication. The illustration style: -Black-and-white line art with clean, crisp outlines and fully enclosed coloring areas. -Full-page scenes with enough charming detail to feel engaging, but without tiny, intricate sections that are frustrating to color. -Medium-to-large coloring spaces throughout, including larger leaves, flowers, clothing details, and background elements. Warm, expressive characters with natural poses and relatable body types. -Cozy settings such as neighborhood streets, cafés, bedrooms, home offices, and reading nooks. -Thoughtful decorative borders with hearts, flowers, leaves, bubbles, or other simple, colorable accents. -Hand-lettered banners, playful signs, meaningful affirmations, and short phrases integrated naturally into the scenes. -A consistent visual identity across the entire book. Examples of potential pages: A woman stands beside her bicycle after a ride, drinking from a water bottle. Her basket holds an apple, a protein bar, and a flower. A nearby sign says, “STOP. SIP. GO.” The banner reads, “A girl’s work is never done hydrating.” A woman in a cozy sweatshirt sits at her desk with an open journal, a candle, colorful pens, and three drinks labeled “SIP,” “THINK,” and “REPEAT.” The bookshelf behind her includes journals titled “Big Feelings,” “Fresh Start,” and “Notes to Self.” The headline reads, “Just a girl, her journal, and three emotional support beverages.” A woman stands comfortably beside a full-length mirror in a cozy room with expressive houseplants, a soft rug, and an upholstered chair. The page reads, “Your body is not a problem waiting to be solved.” Additional themes may include protein, fiber, hydration, strength training, rest, body image, self-compassion, mindset, and building a meaningful life beyond the scale. I’m especially interested in an illustrator who can combine visual storytelling, humor, educational details, and emotionally resonant messaging without making the pages feel overly busy. Every decorative element should be intentional and enjoyable to color. Final illustrations should be suitable for a standard letter-size printed coloring book, approximately 8.5 × 11 inches. Experience with coloring books, print-ready line art, typography, or women’s lifestyle illustration is preferred. Please share relevant portfolio examples, your process for revisions, and your availability for developing a consistent multi-page book.
