Children's Book Illustrator | Character Design & KDP-Ready Files

Your picture book needs characters that look the same on page 1 and page 32, and files that are ready to upload to Amazon KDP. I'm a children's book illustrator who takes self-publishing authors from manuscript to print-ready files: character design, full-book illustration, cover art, and KDP/IngramSpark formatting from one person, so there is no hand-off between illustrator and formatter. Why authors hire me • Consistent characters: same face, proportions and style on every page • Emotion and storytelling: expressions, poses and scenes that carry the feeling of your manuscript • Age-appropriate artwork for kids aged 1 to 12 • Print-ready files: correct trim size, bleed and setup for KDP and IngramSpark Track record • 4.8/5 rating across 33 client reviews • 46 completed projects on Upwork What I offer • Picture book and storybook illustration • Character design and development • Children's book cover illustration • Coloring and activity book illustration • KDP and IngramSpark formatting and print-ready layouts How I work I start with your manuscript, age group and visual direction. Then I design the characters (appearance, expressions, proportions) before illustrating the full scenes, with unlimited revisions. Send me your manuscript or just your idea. Tell me the age group, page count and the style you imagine, and I'll recommend the right approach for your book.
