I'm looking for an illustrator for childrens books. Age bracket 4-8yo early reader style, 16-18 pages for multibook series. Will need to be able to draw animals, especially dogs well.
Anyone have experience or skills or know someone

Only draw cartoony animals✍️
Cartoony like how? Can you tell the difference between breed of dog, type of bird etc.?
Yeah I think so. But first wait till you maybe find a perfect match in Nostr helping you. Otherwise we can look in to it.
I was scrolling your page. Kind of like the stickers you did is the style your prefer
Yeah my style often in the west is seen for childeren🤣 luckily in Asia for everyone. Thats why I love it so much here 🙏✍️☀️
No worries. It's just not what I'm looking for with this particular project. If this works out well I may try my hand at it again with a different subject matter
I know just the person. I’ll have him make an npub then DM you
Just let me know the npub to look out for
What's your timeline?
What format are you looking for?
Do you have a preferred illustrator or any particular book you'd like to have an approximation to?
I ask because I illustrate things by hand and paper/watercolors, markers, mixed media; but if there is a preferred style, I hand draw on my android tablet for easier erase/redo corrections.

I released a children's book for the same age range last year. My profile image is the cover. nostr:nprofile1qqsqp5rw957s5v844p9c7e0y63hz9m2g9kjlp0309gqtc09eu7ga9dgpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0etpdxc is my mostly inactive npub with a couple comics and promo illustrations I did around the release.
Cool thanks I'll take a look
Cool looking book. Will snag a copy for my kids. Did you publish through Amazon?
Thanks! Yes I published through Amazon, are you looking at that rout?
I think so at least for a trial run of the first couple books. They are really going to be geared for young kids.
It's pretty simple having gone through once. Hit me up if you have any questions.
Was the contract pretty straightforward
Yes. The process is pretty straightforward. One thing I wish I had done in hindsight is hit the "publish" button pretty much right away because you can edit and delay the release date indefinitely, but having it in the "published" state makes it easier to get proof/author copies to get feedback from.
You might want to get in touch with nostr:npub1pztyedfuhn32htalk4tq5lgl3tedsrej55lgghfsf6ps55dlqy8smvqr2x .He is not only an amazing designer, he is an artist in every cell. Loves animals too...
this is going to be expensive. just fyi. check Fiver or Upwork but also do some research on how to negotiate with artists
Good idea thank you
Hi, I'm realistic painter. I started with drawing, then I dove into oils. I always wanted to try collaborate with someone on book. For book I would use watercolor or pencils or charcoal. What is your idea?
I have experience with animals, nature in general, figures and buildings a little bit.
Now I'm trying make living by art so I could have focus on that full time. What is your schedule?
