Where to find children’s book illustrators?
If you’re looking for children’s book illustrators, you’ve come to the right place!
Children’s books are some of the most popular books around—and they need to be illustrated by someone who knows how to bring their characters and stories to life. Luckily, there are tons of talented artists out there who can help you create the perfect illustrations for your subsequent children’s book.
So what should you do if you want to find a children’s book illustrator?
1- Figure out what kind of illustrations you want
First of all, the first thing you need to do is figure out what types of illustrations you want. You may wish for just one or two images for your book—maybe even just one character. Or perhaps you have an entire scene in mind that will be illustrated.
Once you’ve decided on a style and format, try to find a child’s book illustrator who matches your vision. If they don’t have the style that matches what you’re looking for, it’s best not to use them because it makes it look like all their books are similar, which doesn’t help sell books or get anyone excited about reading your story!
2- Get the help of leading children’s book illustration agencies
Now that you know what type of illustrations you want, it’s time to start searching for children’s book illustrator agencies. These companies specialize in finding the right people for the job. They’ll comb portfolios and websites to find the best match for your project.
Leading children’s book illustration agencies such as Astound can help you find the right talent. Their staff comprises artists from around the globe passionate about doing great work and connecting with other creatives.
3- Ask for referrals
The last step before hiring any children’s book illustrator is asking for references. This way, you’ll be sure to find someone who has worked with others and can give you honest feedback.
You might also ask for samples of their previous work to see what kind of art they produce.
4- Join children writing forums
If you’re looking for a children’s book illustrator, there are many places to get started. One of the best places is to join a writing forum for kids.
Children’s writing forums are the perfect place to find inspiration for your own stories and even get feedback on your work. They can be found online, in Facebook groups, or real life at libraries or bookstores. The best ones have an active community that shares their knowledge and experience with other writers.
You’ll find lots of people posting pictures of their favorite books, discussing different writing techniques, and answering questions from other members. You can get recommendations here.
5- Use job listing sites
Here you have to be extra careful to hire the right illustrator. If you find potential candidates, you should check out their portfolios first.
If they don’t have any samples of their work available online, they may not be ready to take on a project yet; you could also see if they’ve done any freelance work in the past, which will give you a better idea of their work ethic and professionalism—and how much time it would take them to complete an illustration project like yours.
Conclusion
There are many ways to find children’s book illustrators. But the most reliable way is by using an illustration agency. They have access to a wide variety of illustrators and can help you find the best fit for your project, even if you don’t know how to describe what you need in terms of style or tone.
With an agency, you don’t struggle to identify the right talent, vet them, or go through tons of their samples—they’ll do all that for you!
