Hi there,
I was happy to see that you are looking for handcrafted illustrations for your children's books. I'm a traditionally trained artist and I've been working as an old-school children's books illustrator for many years. You can see couple of samples of my commissioned work in the portfolio section and if you are interested, I'd be happy to share more samples from my recent commissioned work which are not showcased yet. I'm comfortable with all traditional media and I normally deliver high res scans, although it is possible to have the originals sent upon request. Given the nature of work, which is time consuming, I very much prefer to be paid per illustration or to negotiate a flat rate.
In the process, I first deliver a rough pencil sketch, then a detailed one (both subject to unlimited revisions), and only after they are approved proceed with ink or colour. Please note, though, that when the final phase of inking or colouring starts, only very minor (if at all) changes are possible.
If all of the above sounds acceptable, please contact me to discuss further details (type, format and number of illustrations as well as deadlines). I would be very happy to hear from you,
Kind regards,
Dusica
