Seeking children's book illustrator
The project started smoothly. She seemed to have a good demeanor and interest in what she does. However, after the first milestone was met, things shifted. After several unsuccessful attempts at getting the same notes executed, along with her agreeing to, then canceling, then agreeing and canceling her commitment to delivering formatted files (as was originally offered by her in our initial proposal), I chose to end the project prematurely. I don’t like leaving poor reviews and honestly hope this was just a one off, as she seems to have positive reviews overall. That just wasn’t the case with my experience. Wishing her the best of luck going forward.

I specialize in whimsical, kid-friendly artwork with strong storytelling, expressive characters, consistent visual design, and print-ready files for self-publishing.
I’m a professional and experienced children’s book illustrator and character designer specializing in expressive, engaging artwork for authors, self-publishers, and publishing companies worldwide. I help turn manuscripts into visually compelling picture books with memorable customised characters, cohesive storytelling, and professional, print-ready files for Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, and LULU.
My strongest focus is character development and visual consistency. Before moving into final artwork, I establish each character’s appearance, proportions, colors, expressions, and personality. This keeps your characters recognizable and consistent from the first page to the last, and across future books in a series.
What I can create:
•Customised Children’s picture books and storybooks
• Educational and activity books/workbooks
• Coloring books
• Original character design and expression sheets
• Single-page illustrations, double-page spreads and spot illustrations
• Front, back, and full-wrap book covers
• Book formatting and print-ready files
Illustration styles:
• Watercolor & soft pastel
• 3D cartoon / Pixar-inspired
• Hand-drawn digital
• Vector & modern cartoon
Publication-ready delivery:
I can prepare high-resolution artwork and properly formatted files for Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, and Lulu, including CMYK files and the formats required for professional printing.
Depending on your project, you can receive:
✔ Character concepts before final artwork
✔ Consistent artwork throughout the book
✔ 300 DPI high-resolution files
✔ PNG, JPG, PSD, AI, and transparent-background files
✔ Print-ready files prepared to your specifications
✔ Clear and reliable communication throughout the project
Whether you’re publishing your first picture book or building an entire children’s series, I’ll work closely with you to develop a visual style that fits your story, appeals to young readers, and gives your book a polished, professional finish.
Do you have a manuscript or idea you’d like to bring to life? I’d love to hear about it.
Best regards,
Azka Emaan
