Whether it's a picture book or a comic, the hard part is the same, keeping your character looking like the same character across every page, pose, and panel. That consistency is what carries a story, and it's what most art gets wrong. It's the thing I'm built around.
I'm Ubaid, an illustrator with 6+ years telling stories through pictures, children's books and comics both. Soft, warm art that kids come back to, and sequential pages that pull readers in from panel one. I've worked with authors, indie publishers, and studios, including children's illustration with Rocket Brush and comic work tied to IDW, Dynamite, and Vault Comics.
Every illustration is 100% hand-drawn. No AI, ever. Publishers and readers can feel the difference, I keep it that way on purpose.
What I do for you:
Children's books, full interiors + covers, characters on-model start to finish, KDP & IngramSpark print ready
Comics & graphic novels, sequential pages, covers, character design, pencils to final color (300 DPI, CMYK, print-ready)
Soft watercolor and cartoon for kids; cleaner lined and colored work for comics, matched to your story, never generic
How I work: character concepts → rough sketches → your feedback → final color → print-ready files. You see progress at every stage, so nothing's a surprise at the end. Final files come ready to publish, plus editable source.
Tools: Procreate, Adobe Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint.
Send me your manuscript, script, or even a rough idea and the audience you're writing for — I'll tell you honestly whether my style fits.
