Good day,
My name is Brian Sy and I'm very much interested in taking your job offer for an Illustration Artist. I believe that with a startup project like yours, you'd need a pretty affordable fee for the quality illustrations for your Children's book, so I want to offer you my services for only $75 for all 10 illustrations including 1 more variation for each scene so that you can have at least multiple options for you to choose from. Basically, you'll receive a total of 20 illustrations included in the fee. And, just to give all the help that I can provide for your startup project, I can also design the layout for your book through InDesign for free.
So about my skills as an Illustrator relevant to your project, I can do traditional artworks (which I think is and will always be preferable for Children's books) in either graphite, ink, or in colorful pastels; whatever your preferences might be. And, of course, they would all be digitalized in high quality. I can't say that I have a single style in terms of illustrations, but I mostly draw all of my personal artworks in an integrated style of cubistic realism (or surrealism) when using graphite, and impressionist artworks in pastels.
I am willing to send you some examples of my illustrations and also an example of a book layout design of a Travel Guidebook I've made in art school which was nominated and exhibited as one of the top finalists.
If you're interested, just contact me. All the luck for you and for your project!
