Tomay
About this gig
!! Please message me before ordering !!
Are you looking for soft, expressive, hand-drawn illustrations for children's books to bring your story to life?
I create whimsical, painterly storybook illustrations with warm textures, gentle colours, and charming characters, perfect for children ages 3-7.
Ideal for:
- Picture books
- Bedtime stories
- Educational children's books
Whether your story features playful animals, cosy outdoor scenes, or meaningful life lessons, I'll help transform your manuscript into a visually engaging storybook.
You can expect:
- Original hand-drawn artwork (no AI, no stock assets)
- Consistent character design throughout your book
- Soft painterly textures with classic storybook charm
- Clear communication and collaborative process
- High-resolution, print-ready files
For full books, I work in milestones (paid separately) to ensure clarity and comfort for both of us. I collaborate closely with my clients at every stage of the process.
Please see the FAQ section below for my workflow, revision policy, and file details.
Send me a message -- I'd love to help bring your story to life!

Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

FAQ
How does your illustration process work?
For full book projects: 1. We discuss your story, vision, and project details. 2. I create a storyboard and sketch layout of the whole book for approval 3. After revision, I complete the final coloured illustrations. 4. Final high-resolution files are delivered via Fiverr
How many revisions are included?
Revisions apply during the sketch phase, where I allow up to three rounds. Minor adjustments can be made after colouring, but major structural changes at the final stage will require additional cost. Clear communication early helps avoid extra revisions
What file formats will I receive?
Final files are delivered in high-resolution (300 DPI), print-ready format. Available formats include: - JPG - PNG - PDF - PSD (if included in your package) Please let me know if you have specific publishing requirements.
Do you illustrate full books?
Yes. I illustrate individual pages or complete books. For full book projects, I work in milestones (each stage paid separately) to ensure clarity and comfort for both of us. Please message me to discuss a custom package.
What information do you need before starting?
• Your manuscript or story outline • Page count • Character descriptions • Preferred size/dimensions • Any reference images (optional) The clearer the brief, the smoother the process.
Can you match another illustrator’s style?
I work in my own whimsical, painterly storybook style to ensure consistency and quality. If you're unsure whether your vision aligns, feel free to message me first.
