Children's Book Illustrator | Character Design & Book Cover Designer

I create children's book illustrations, custom character design, and book covers that are print-ready and built to KDP, IngramSpark, or your printer's exact specs. Authors, publishers, and indie creators get consistent characters, clean layered files, and delivery in whatever format your platform requires. What I deliver: — Children's book illustrations (full spreads, spot art, scene layouts) — Custom character design (original characters, brand mascots, character sheets with expressions and poses) — Book cover design (front, back, spine — KDP and ebook formats) — Coloring book pages and printable activity sheets — Icon sets and custom graphic design assets — Book formatting and interior layout (KDP-ready files) Character consistency is something clients mention specifically in my reviews — keeping the same character recognizable across 30+ pages, across different expressions, angles, and scenes, is where a lot of illustration projects break down. It's a core part of how I work. I work in Adobe Illustrator with a process that keeps revisions minimal and files organized. Every project includes clear communication, defined revision rounds, and files delivered in PDF, PNG, AI, or whatever KDP, your printer, or your platform requires. My Upwork history includes 5-star reviewed projects across children's book illustration, character design, book covers, and coloring books — so whichever of these you need, you'll find relevant work and reviews already on my profile. Send me your brief and I'll tell you honestly whether it's a fit and what the project would look like. Muhammad Saqib Riaz Freelance Illustrator & Designer
