I want this style of simple ilustrations. These will be printed on small objects, about 3 cm so I want them to be not super detailed, but have a lot of soul. For example, I want a ilustration with paris, I want the eiffel tower, of couse, maybe a cafe place, a bike, things like these, but not a lot of detail. I prioritize style and having it look nice. I would also want a detail on all landmarks, a swallow bird looking at the landmark, but it should be small, not occupt a lot of the picture.

Landmarks:
Eiffel Tower — Paris, France
Colosseum — Rome, Italy
Taj Mahal — Agra, India
Statue of Liberty — New York, USA
Pyramids of Giza — Egypt
Sagrada Família — Barcelona, Spain
Santorini, oia
Golden Gate Bridge — San Francisco, USA

I am developing a coloring activity workbook for ages 8–11 (grades 3–5) and seeking an illustrator with strong skills in line art to create a paid illustration sample. The workbook size is 8.5 x 11. I’m seeking an age-appropriate style; ideally easy to color with minimum clutter and sharp detail. The sample page will include at least 1 character and background.

I am looking for an illustrator to create a series (probably 60-70) of 1-color (black) ink sketches, in a style that resembles what you might find in an artist's field sketchbook.

I'm looking for HUMAN-created artwork (no AI).

I prefer the art to be created digitally — Procreate (first choice) or Photoshop.

See the attached images for examples of the style I'm envisioning. (I'm open to variations, or alternate approaches that accomplish a similar effect;)

The subject matter will vary — sometimes portraits of Catholic saints, sometimes animals, sometimes small still-life objects, or even landscapes.

The sketches will be used to help illustrate stories in a series of print pieces.

The illustrations do NOT all need to be done at the same time — they can be completed in small 'batches' — maybe 4-6 at a time. I would provide the topics with notes or a reference image for each.

In terms of deliverables, I'd like to get a high-res digital file, and a Procreate timelapse video for each sketch.

If you're interested in a project like this, please let me know a PER ILLUSTRATION cost — or a TOTAL PRICE for 60 illustrations.
