Your project sounds very interesting, so I would like to offer you clever, vibrant, exciting handcrafted illustrations for your book. I'm a traditionally educated artist with background in fine arts and an experienced illustrator, lately working mainly on children's book and graphic novels with occasional project in comics or poetry illustration, and unlike most illustrators, I exclusively work by hand, in pencil, coloured pencil, pen and ink, watercolours and gouache, because I belive that children should be exposed to high quality art since their early years. My illustrations are always original and unique, and you’d be able to follow development of your characters and scenes from scratch to final realization. You would be delivered high resolution scans (or the originals, upon request). I normally charge 75-80 CAD for one page full bleed illustration, but please note that my offer is for around 10 full bleed illustrations and also that other formats(double spread, half-page illustrations…) can be combined as well.
For an insight into my skills, please check https://www.freelancer.com/u/ddimitrovska.html, and if you are interested, write with more details, to request more samples (I have few ongoing as well as some non-disclosure projects) or to arrange a trail illustration.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Dusica
