Freelance AI Children's Book Illustrator

We are looking for a Freelance AI Children’s Book Illustrator to create high-quality AI-generated illustrations for children’s coloring books and picture books.

You will be provided with the book concept, theme, instructions, and/or manuscript. Your responsibility will be to generate the illustrations using AI, maintain consistent characters and visual style throughout the book, make necessary corrections, and deliver print-ready, high-quality illustrations.

We are looking for someone who understands that creating a children’s book is more than simply generating individual AI images. Character consistency, composition, clean artwork, age-appropriate visuals, and consistency across an entire book are extremely important.

Responsibilities

• Create AI-generated illustrations for children’s coloring books and picture books.
• Create consistent characters across multiple pages and scenes.
• Follow detailed creative instructions and visual references.
• Generate illustrations in the required dimensions and aspect ratio.
• Create clean, professional coloring-book artwork suitable for children.
• For coloring books, create bold, clean black-and-white line art with appropriate detail for the target age group.
• Ensure coloring pages do not contain unwanted shading, gray areas, filled black areas, artifacts, distorted objects, or unnecessary background details when instructed.
• Make corrections and regenerate images when necessary.
• Maintain consistent character appearance, clothing, proportions, facial features, and overall art style throughout a book.
• Prepare illustrations suitable for Amazon KDP publishing.
• Deliver organized, high-resolution final files.
• Follow naming, formatting, and file-delivery instructions accurately.

Requirements

• Previous experience creating AI-generated children’s book illustrations is required.
• At least 1 year of relevant experience in AI illustration, digital illustration, children’s book illustration, or a closely related field.
• You must be very good in English, as you will need to understand detailed creative instructions and communicate clearly.
• You must have access to paid AI image-generation tools capable of producing high-quality, watermark-free images.
• You must own a computer or laptop suitable for AI image generation and image editing.
• You must have a reliable internet connection.
• Strong understanding of children’s illustration and visual storytelling.
• Ability to maintain consistent AI characters across multiple illustrations.
• Ability to follow a specific visual style and reproduce it consistently.
• Ability to create clean, professional coloring-book line art.
• Basic image editing skills are required.
• Amazon KDP experience is preferred.
• Experience creating complete children’s books from beginning to end is highly preferred.

IMPORTANT — Portfolio Requirement

You must provide at least ONE complete children’s book that you have created as a sample.

We are specifically looking for people who have experience creating an entire book, not only individual AI-generated images.

Your portfolio should demonstrate:

• Character consistency
• Consistent art style
• Page-to-page quality
• Good composition
• Children’s book-appropriate artwork
• Ability to follow a theme throughout an entire book
• Coloring-book line-art quality, if applicable

Please also provide 3–5 additional AI-generated illustration samples.

Application Process

Please send:
