I will illustrate middle grade chapter book spot art, characters, and chapter openers
Richard Cormier
About this gig
Is your middle-grade chapter book missing the artwork that makes readers fall in love with it? Great writing alone isnt always enough to stand out.
Most illustrators either overcharge for full-color art you dont need, or deliver generic clipart that doesnt match your storys tone leaving self-published authors with an unfinished-looking book.
I create original, hand-drawn black-and-white spot illustrations tailored to your story chapter openers, character designs, maps, fantasy objects, mystery clues, animal companions, and key scenes that bring your book to life without breaking your budget.
WHAT YOU WILL GET:
- Hand-drawn black-and-white illustrations (pencil/ink style)
- Chapter opener spot art
- Character design sheets
- Custom maps or story objects (on request)
- Print-ready, high-resolution files (KDP-compliant)
MY PROCESS:
- Send your manuscript excerpt or character/scene descriptions
- I sketch rough concepts for your approval
- I finalize illustrations in clean black-and-white
- You review and request revisions
- Final files delivered ready for print or ebook
Give your chapter book the professional, story-driven artwork it deserves. Message me.

Hi, I'm Richard Cormier a 2D illustrator specializing in warm, whimsical artwork for children's books. I bring stories to life with expressive characters, vibrant color palettes, and illustrations kids (and parents) fall in love with. From single character designs to full book spreads and covers, I work closely with authors and publishers to match each book's tone playful, gentle, adventurous, or magical. I use Procreate and Photoshop to deliver polished, print-ready files. Clear communication, on-time delivery, and unlimited care in every detail.
FAQ
Q: Do you illustrate the full book, or just select scenes?
A: I typically illustrate key chapter openers and pivotal scenes rather than every page — this is standard for chapter books and keeps costs reasonable. Full-book packages are available on request.
Q: Can you match the style of a specific published book?
A: I can take inspiration from reference art for tone and mood, but I don’t copy another illustrator’s exact style every piece I deliver is original.
Q: Will these illustrations meet Amazon KDP print requirements?
A: Yes, all final files are delivered print-ready and formatted to KDP specifications.
Q: Do you do color illustrations too?
A: This gig is for black-and-white spot art specifically. Message me if you need color work. I can quote that separately.
Q: What do you need from me to get started?
A: A manuscript excerpt, character descriptions, or a scene list the more detail, the more accurate the first draft.
