Procreate Projects on Upwork with Vollna

This is a detail-oriented project that requires precision and an understanding of how lashes look at a technical level.

**What the work involves:**

Creating individual lash stencil illustrations across a range of:
• Curl types – B, C, CC, D, L, L+
• Lengths – from short to extra long
• Thickness variations

Each stencil needs to look realistic, clean, and consistent across the full set. Files will need to be delivered to exact technical specifications (format, resolution, canvas size).

**You must have:**
• Strong Procreate skills — this is non-negotiable
• Experience with fine detail or hair-like illustration
• A portfolio showing precision linework (lash experience is a bonus but not essential)
• The ability to take direction and revise based on feedback


**To apply, please include:**
1. Examples of fine detail or beauty-related illustration work from your portfolio
2. Confirmation that you work in Procreate
3. Your rate per stencil or for the full set

Applications without a portfolio will not be considered.

We are looking for an illustrator who can draw 12 illustrations for us.

We would need 6 coloured illustrations of tree branches with flowers in a style and layout very much resembling Cherry Tree 1 and 2.

The 6 illustrations will be used for the covers on a series of 6 books, and the flowers should be in these colours: White, Light Red, Light Blue, Light Yellow, Red, Orange. The illustrations should be 95% identical to each others, creating the style for a layout for the book series, allowing us to write the title of the books etc. in the same place on all books.

The last 6 illustrations should be in black and white, and in a style resembling Frame 1, 2, and 3. The illustrations will be used as frames for quotes inside the books, like shown in the examples. These 6 illustrations must be with the same kind of flowers as in the first 6 illustrations, so there is a visual connection between the covers and interior of the books.

All illustrations must be drawn in vectors, allowing us to scale them. They must also be drawn on a transparent background.

The format of the books is A6 (105x148 mm), so please make sure that details in your illustrations can be seen in that scale.

I need a skilled architectural illustrator to create a sketch-style or watercolour aerial rendering of a new woodland concept. The look I’m after is loose, expressive linework with subtle shading—enough detail to convey form and atmosphere without drifting into photo-realism.

Scope
• Produce a single aerial 45 degree perspective that captures the overall woodland layout.
• Focus on massing, tree canopies, paths, and land contours; individual features pathways and fencing can sit in the background or be implied rather than called out.
• Final artwork should be suitable for presentation boards and web, delivered as layered PSD (or Procreate file) plus a flattened PNG/JPEG version.
I will need to describe my proposed layout (concentric circles of native Irish broadleaf trees with a stone on raised ground in the central clearing) circular pathways between the tree circles and radial pathways to the centre). Perspective from a 45 degree aerial viewpoint. The trees will be newly planted, each with a small oak plaque on the ground in front of them and supported with a 3-stake framework. The trees will be young, but around 2-3m tall and spaced approximately 4 m apart.

Acceptance
I’ll consider the job complete when the final file:
1. Clearly communicates the park’s footprint from a bird’s-eye view.
2. Maintains a hand-drawn, sketchy aesthetic (think quick ink or pencil lines with light wash).
3. Arrives in the agreed formats at 300 dpi minimum.

Please let me know your typical workflow and any samples that match this style so I can move forward quickly.

Project Overview
A breathtaking, photorealistic painted aerial view of Atlanta, Georgia — capturing the city's skyline, neighborhoods, landmarks, and cultural soul in a single richly detailed composition. This is not a cartoon map or a travel poster. This is a fine art painting of a city that looks like it was photographed from above and painted by a master. The kind of piece Atlanta natives and the global Atlanta diaspora will immediately recognize and feel proud to assemble and display.

Art Direction & Style
• Photorealistic aerial painting — buildings, streets, and landmarks rendered with architectural accuracy
• Warm, rich color palette — terracottas, forest greens, warm golds, deep blues of the Atlanta sky
• Painterly atmosphere — light, shadow, and depth that makes the city feel alive
• High landmark density — the more recognizable Atlanta is packed in, the more engaging the puzzle
• Bird's eye or slight aerial perspective — seeing the city laid out below with dimensional depth
• The feeling of a painted photograph — real, accurate, beautiful

Must Include
• Downtown Atlanta skyline — rendered with architectural accuracy and detail
• Mercedes-Benz Stadium and State Farm Arena
• Centennial Olympic Park
• The BeltLine suggested as a green corridor through the composition
• Buckhead, Midtown, Old Fourth Ward, Sweet Auburn, West End neighborhoods
• The AUC cluster — Morehouse, Spelman, Clark Atlanta — rendered with campus detail
• Hartsfield-Jackson Airport suggested in the south
• Piedmont Park with its distinctive green
• Cultural callouts — civil rights history, music culture, food scene woven into the detail

Must Avoid
• Cartoon map aesthetic — flat icons floating on colored backgrounds
• Generic travel poster illustration style
• Overly simplified or schematic representation
• AI-generated art
• Cold or blue-heavy color treatment — Atlanta deserves warmth

Deliverables
• 1 final painting, 3000×3000px minimum, 300dpi, CMYK color profile
• Layered source file (PSD or AI) with text/labels on separate layers
• PNG and TIFF exports
• Full exclusive commercial license

NOTE TO ARTIST: Atlanta has one of the largest and most proud Black middle-class communities in America, a massive HBCU presence, and a cultural diaspora spread across the country. This painting must feel like Atlanta — not a generic Southern city. Portfolio MUST include examples of photorealistic architectural or environmental painting, aerial city illustration, or comparable detailed urban artwork. Map illustration experience strongly preferred. We will review portfolios carefully before selecting.

• Please share examples of previous illustrated map or detailed city/travel painting work — specifically photorealistic or fine art style, not cartoon or flat illustration.
• Do you confirm this illustration will be original work and not AI-generated?

Project Overview
A richly detailed fine art painting capturing the full energy and beauty of the HBCU experience — the yard, homecoming, band, step shows, campus life, and the unique electricity of historically Black colleges. This should feel like the most iconic photograph of HBCU life, elevated to museum-quality painting. Photorealistic figures, architectural detail, and cultural depth. The kind of piece HBCU alumni frame and pass down.

Art Direction & Style
• Photorealistic to painterly fine art — figures and environments rendered with dimensional realism
• Bold, celebratory color — school spirit energy without identifying any specific institution
• Multiple scene elements composited into a cohesive, richly detailed whole
• Architectural accuracy — historic columns, red brick, campus quads rendered with care
• Human figures painted with the dignity and presence of Kadir Nelson's work
• Energy and movement — this should feel alive, not static

Must Include
• The Yard — students gathered, socializing, the living heart of HBCU campus life
• Homecoming energy — marching band or majorette detail, crowd celebration
• Academic architecture — columns, steps, historic campus buildings
• Step show or Greek life silhouettes — no trademarked symbols, cultural presence
• Diverse student figures — natural hair, various styles, multiple generations
• Small storytelling details throughout — books, instruments, conversation, laughter

Must Avoid
• Any specific HBCU's name, logo, mascot, or identifiable landmark
• Any D9 trademarked Greek letters, shields, or official symbols
• Cartoon, flat, manga, or children's illustration styles
• AI-generated art
• Generic collegiate stock art feel

Deliverables
• 1 final digital painting, 3000×3000px minimum, 300dpi, CMYK color profile
• Layered source file (PSD or AI)
• PNG and TIFF exports
• Full exclusive commercial license

NOTE TO ARTIST: HBCU alumni are among the most passionate and loyal communities in America. This puzzle will be gifted at homecomings, purchased as dorm art, and treasured by families for decades. The bar is the highest we set. Please include in your proposal examples of narrative figurative painting and architectural/environmental illustration. This project requires both skills simultaneously.

• Please share examples of previous work illustrating Black culture, HBCU life, or African diaspora themes — specifically fine art figurative painting, not cartoon or flat illustration.
• Do you confirm this illustration will be original work and not AI-generated?

I’m putting together a children’s book for readers aged 8–12 and need every page illustrated in a realistic style. The main characters are based on my grandchild and me, so likeness is essential—facial features, skin tone, and key expressions should feel recognisable without drifting into caricature.

The story moves between cosy indoor moments and vibrant outdoor adventures, so you’ll be painting a mix of home interiors, gardens, city corners, and a few imaginative settings. Consistency in palette, lighting, and character proportions from scene to scene is crucial to keep young readers immersed.

Expect to provide full-colour, print-ready spreads (CMYK, 300 dpi) and layered source files (PSD or Procreate) so my layout designer can adjust text later if needed. A short round of revisions on each spread will help us lock down likeness and atmosphere before final export.

If you’re comfortable working from reference photos, enjoy realistic children’s illustration, and can meet regular milestones, I’d love to see your portfolio and discuss page count, timeline, and file hand-off in more detail.

Skills: Illustrator, Caricature & Cartoons

Project Overview
A richly detailed, photorealistic fine art painting of a Black community celebration — a summer cookout, block party, or neighborhood gathering captured at its most joyful, warm, and alive. This is the kind of painting that makes you feel like you were there. Multi-generational, culturally specific, bursting with life and detail. Think Colin Bootman's narrative warmth combined with Kadir Nelson's figure realism. Every face has a story. Every detail tells the culture.

Art Direction & Style
• Photorealistic narrative painting — figures rendered with full dimensional realism, not stylized
• Warm, golden palette — rich earth tones, deep greens, warm oranges, golden hour light
• Multi-generational scene — children, adults, elders all present and fully realized
• Cinematic composition — the eye travels through the scene discovering new details
• Culturally specific detail — food, clothing, hair, architecture that speaks to Black American life
• The feeling of being at the cookout — warmth, laughter, belonging

Must Include
• 20+ figures of varied ages, body types, and skin tones — all rendered with photorealistic detail
• Central gathering space — backyard, block, or park — rendered with environmental realism
• Food and cultural detail — grill smoke, red cups, dominos, music equipment — as natural scene elements
• Children in foreground or midground — playing, laughing, present
• Natural hair rendered with texture and variety — locs, twists, afros, braids
• Background depth — neighboring homes, trees, sky, crowd extending into distance

Must Avoid
• Stereotypical, reductive, or caricatured imagery of any kind
• Generic 'diversity stock art' aesthetic — figures must feel like real, specific people
• Cartoon, flat, vector, or illustrated poster styles
• AI-generated art
• Cold or desaturated color treatment

Deliverables
• 1 final digital painting, 3000×3000px minimum, 300dpi, CMYK color profile
• Layered source file (PSD or AI)
• PNG and TIFF exports
• Full exclusive commercial license

NOTE TO ARTIST: This puzzle will be displayed in Black homes across America. It must feel like a love letter to the culture — specific, warm, and true. Artists who bring personal connection to Black community life will produce the best work here. Please include narrative figurative painting samples in your proposal. We are not looking for illustration — we are looking for fine art.

• Please share examples of previous work illustrating Black culture, HBCU life, or African diaspora themes — specifically fine art figurative painting, not cartoon or flat illustration.
• Do you confirm this illustration will be original work and not AI-generated

Project Overview
We need a photorealistic digital painting celebrating the tradition of step shows and yard scenes at HBCUs. This is a luxury adult puzzle — the finished piece should look like a photograph taken at golden hour on a yard at an HBCU, elevated to fine art. Think Kadir Nelson meets an iconic moment frozen in time. Rich, warm, deeply human. The figures should feel real — dimensional, dignified, and alive with movement and cultural energy. No cartoon aesthetic. No flat illustration. No stylized graphic look.

Art Direction & Style
• Photorealistic to painterly — figures rendered with the dimensional realism of Kadir Nelson or Thomas Blackshear
• Warm, deeply saturated palette — deep golds, rich umbers, sunset oranges, royal blues and purples woven through the scene
• Golden hour or late afternoon light — warm directional lighting that makes skin tones glow
• High visual density and depth — foreground, midground, background all richly detailed
• Emotional presence — faces and body language convey pride, power, joy, and community
• The feeling of a documentary photograph elevated to fine art — real, specific, in-the-moment

Must Include
• A central group of 8–12 figures in step formation — diverse body types, male and female, rendered with photorealistic detail
• Dynamic stepping poses — stomps, synchronized movements, raised arms — captured mid-motion like a photograph
• HBCU yard setting — lush grass, trees, a crowd of onlookers in background, campus architecture suggested
• Rich variety of skin tones across the full spectrum of Black beauty
• Clothing detail — crisp white shirts, colored jackets, formal wear — rendered with fabric texture and weight
• Crowd energy in background — faces, reactions, celebration

Must Avoid
• Any specific Greek letter combinations, shields, crests, or official D9 organization symbols
• Cartoon, comic, manga, anime, or flat illustration styles
• Vector art, clipart, or graphic design aesthetic
• AI-generated art of any kind
• Generic 'diversity' stock illustration feel — this must be culturally specific and authentic
• Washed-out or desaturated color palettes

Deliverables
• 1 final digital painting, 3000×3000px minimum, 300dpi, CMYK color profile
• Layered source file (PSD or AI) for minor adjustments
• PNG and TIFF exports
• Full exclusive commercial license — Pieced Co. owns all rights for use on physical products, marketing, and online

NOTE TO ARTIST: We are actively affiliated with the NPHC community. This piece will be purchased as a luxury gift by sorority and fraternity members, HBCU alumni, and Black families who take culture seriously. It must feel authentic to someone who has lived this experience. Please include in your proposal: 3–5 portfolio examples of photorealistic figurative work featuring Black subjects OR comparable fine art digital painting. Proposals without relevant portfolio samples will not be considered.

• Please share examples of previous work illustrating Black culture, HBCU life, or African diaspora themes — specifically fine art figurative painting, not cartoon or flat illustration.
• Do you confirm this illustration will be original work and not AI-generated?

We are seeking a skilled animator to create a 2D animation for a video. The project involves bringing a script to life with engaging visuals and animations. The ideal candidate should have experience in 2D animation and be able to deliver high-quality work within the specified timeframe.

I’m ready to purchase a tablet dedicated to drawing-focused 3D modeling and want an expert to pin down the exact iPad model and accessory set that will give me the best balance of power, screen fidelity, and future-proofing.

Here’s what I already know
• The tablet must run iOS.
• Its primary job will be 3D modeling, not general sketching or note taking.
• I’ll rely on Apple Pencil-driven apps such as Shapr3D, Nomad Sculpt, and possibly Procreate for texturing.

What I need from you
1. A concise comparison of the current iPad line-up (e.g., iPad Pro M2 11"/12.9", iPad Air M1, any new releases) focused on CPU/GPU benchmarks, RAM, display color accuracy, and sustained performance in the above apps.
2. Clear, purchase-ready recommendations covering:
• Best-fit tablet model and storage size
• Apple Pencil generation compatibility
• Any must-have accessories (keyboard case, screen protector, hub, etc.) that enhance a 3D workflow
3. A short rationale explaining why your pick outperforms the alternatives for heavy 3D design tasks.
4. Optional: guidance on ideal app settings or workflows that squeeze maximum performance from the chosen hardware.

Acceptance criteria
• Your final document can be a PDF or well-formatted Google Doc no longer than three pages.
• All specs and pricing must reference the most current Apple store or authorized reseller data at time of submission.
• Advice must be actionable—if I can’t click a link or walk into a store today and follow it, it isn’t helpful.

If you’ve balanced mobile hardware for creative pros before, especially within iOS, this should be a quick yet impactful gig. Looking forward to your recommendations!

I’m building a fresh baby-wear line and need a talented illustrator to craft a small suite of surface patterns and placement graphics for pyjamas, outfits, sleeping bags, baby grows and vests.

Here’s the creative direction I have in mind: clean sketch or loose water-colour artwork, deliberately simple, balancing soft pale washes with the occasional bold splash of colour. The imagery should centre on animals and nature—woodland creatures, gentle botanicals, even sun-and-moon accents—anything that feels soothing yet playful for little ones.

Deliverables
• 5–7 original designs supplied as layered PSD or vector AI files, print-ready at 300 dpi.
• Repeat pattern tiles (where appropriate) plus a brief usage guide covering scale and colour palette.

Acceptance criteria
• Artwork must reproduce crisply on fabric with transparent backgrounds where needed.
• Colours match the approved palette and remain editable.
• Final files organised and clearly named for direct hand-off to the manufacturer.

I’ll share mood boards and feedback as we go—I simply need your creative flair and production-ready files created in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or Procreate. Let’s make something beautiful for little dreamers!

I’m putting together a one-off event and I need a striking poster to sell the experience. The actual event can be anything creative—concert, workshop, festival, you name it—so feel free to invent a concept that lets you show off strong visual storytelling. I don’t have a fixed theme either; vintage, modern, or something totally abstract are all on the table as long as the final piece follows solid principles of composition, colour harmony, balance, and hierarchy.

What does matter is the style: I’m looking for a mixed-media approach. Think hand-drawn illustration merged with photographic textures, bold type design, and smart layout choices. Your craft with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Procreate, or similar tools will be crucial here.

Deliverables
• One print-ready poster

Acceptance criteria
• Clear focal point and readable hierarchy of information
• Cohesive integration of illustration, imagery, and typography
• Colours and margins safe for both print and screen

I am building a 2.5D side-scrolling MMORPG and I need an experienced 2D game environment artist to help create the first proper environment asset kit for the game.

The player character and companion are already in-game, but the world/environment art needs a major upgrade. I am looking for an artist who can create polished, colourful, hand-painted 2D side-scroller environments similar in quality and readability to classic anime MMORPGs such as MapleStory / WonderKing, but using completely original fantasy IP.

I will provide a reference image showing the exact quality, layout and style direction I want. We want to create an original game-ready environment and reusable assets that can recreate that type of scene inside our level editor.

The game world theme is shattered sky-world of floating islands, restored ruins, glowing cyan memory crystals, warm timber structures, cottages, portals, grassy platforms, bridges, lanterns, and magical environments.

What I need:

I need an artist who can create a complete modular environment kit for the first beginner zone, including:

Full level mockup
One polished side-scroller scene mockup,
Bright fantasy environment.
Lush grassy platforms.
Floating islands.
House cottage / starter building.
Merchant stall.
Portal gate.
Memory crystals.
Wooden signs, lanterns, crates, barrels, fences, flowers and other props.
Clear left-to-right side-scroller layout, not top-down or isometric.
Separated reusable game assets
Terrain tiles / platform pieces.
Grass top tiles.
Rock underside / cliff pieces.
Floating island platform pieces.
Semi-solid platform pieces.
Wooden bridge pieces.
Portal frame and portal VFX.
Market stall.
Lanterns.
Signposts.
Crates and barrels.
Memory crystal clusters.
Trees, bushes, flowers, vines, grass clumps.
Ruin pieces / stone arches.
Decorative props.
Layered parallax backgrounds
Sky layer.
Cloud layer.
Distant floating islands.
Distant ruins.
Midground islands.
Waterfall/background atmosphere layers.
Game-ready files
Transparent PNGs wherever possible.
Clean isolated assets.
Consistent scale.
Consistent lighting direction.
Consistent outline/shading style.
Optional layered PSD/Clip Studio/Procreate files if available.
Sprite sheets or frame sequences for animated VFX such as portal swirl, crystal glow, lantern flicker, waterfall mist, etc.

Art style target:

The style should be:

Upgraded MapleStory-style 2D game art.
Hand-painted anime cel-shading.
Clean dark-brown outlines.
Soft 2–3 step shading.
Vibrant saturated storybook colours.
Warm soft afternoon sunlight.
Painterly but crisp.
Cute fantasy MMORPG environment style.
Highly readable for gameplay.
Original fantasy IP only.

The assets must feel like they belong in the same world. I do not want random AI-looking assets, mismatched props, muddy textures, or flat generic fantasy backgrounds. I need an artist who understands how to build a modular 2D side-scroller environment kit that can be used repeatedly in a level editor.

Very important:

I do not only want one flat illustration.

I need reusable assets that can be placed in-engine to build many levels. The final deliverables should allow us to recreate the reference-style scene inside our game editor using separate terrain, props, backgrounds, VFX and structures.

Ideal experience:

Please apply if you have experience with:

2D side-scroller game environments.
Platformer / MMORPG map art.
MapleStory-style or anime fantasy environment art.
Modular game asset creation.
Tile sets / platform kits.
Parallax background layers.
Game-ready PNG asset exports.
Sprite sheets / VFX animation.

Deliverables for first milestone:

For the first milestone, I would like:

Review the provided reference image.
Create an art breakdown / asset list.
Produce one polished first-screen environment mockup.
Create a small starter asset kit:
grass platform tiles
rock underside/cliff pieces
one portal
one cottage or mushroom house
one merchant stall
memory crystal cluster
signpost
lantern
crates/barrels
foliage/flowers
background/parallax layers

If this first milestone goes well, this will become ongoing work across many biomes and areas.

Please include in your application:

Examples of 2D game environment art.
Examples of side-scroller/platformer assets if available.
Whether you can provide layered source files.
Whether you can create modular assets, not just illustrations.
Your estimated timeline.
Any questions you have about the game world or level editor.

Reference:

I will attach a reference image showing the type of environment quality and layout I want. I want to see if you can match the style and quality in moduels so I can recreate it exactly.

AI ARTWORK IS NOT DISCOURAGED , FEEL FREE TO USE IF TO SPEEDS PROCESS UP.

I would like to hire someone to help me do the illustrations for my book. It's a gift for Father's Day and I have the concept of each page done, along with the text, I just need the illustrations for the actual pages themselves (14 pages total). I have (poorly done AI with character drift issues) to use as a mock up for each page and can provide the attached dedication page for what to model the following pages from. Is this something you can do and how long would it take and what would the cost be? The output as PDF is fine.

Hello,

My name is Natani Oliveira and I am developing a premium children's clothing brand called AGB – Agentes de Bendición.

I already have two fully defined collections and a third collection currently in development. The brand identity, concept, colors, and main products are already established.

At this stage, I am looking for technical support to transform my designs into professional tech packs and develop oversized children's patterns for ages 2 to 6.

I would like to know:
• How your process works;
• What information you would need from me;
• Whether you have experience with children's wear;
• And the approximate cost of this service.

Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Natani Oliveira
AGB – Agentes de Bendición

We're building a line of tabletop RPG accessories. The first project is a campaign journal — a system-agnostic physical and digital product aimed at players who want something well-designed to actually use at the table.

What the journal needs to support:
- Quest tracking
- Session-by-session notes
- Party roster
- NPC directory
- Key locations
- Factions and organisations
- Inventory and asset logs

The design should be clean, with generous writing space, easy navigation (tabs or section markers), and a consistent illustrated style throughout. Small decorative flourishes on every page are expected — these can repeat across sections rather than be unique. The aesthetic should be system-agnostic, not tied to any specific game or IP.

Deliverables:
- Print-ready file: CMYK, with bleed set correctly
- Interactive PDF for digital note-taking
- Source files in Adobe InDesign or Affinity Publisher
- Vector assets in Illustrator, or layered Procreate files for spot illustrations

What to send:
- Are you familiar with ttrpgs (just D&D is fine)
- A brief outline of your approach to the layout
- Samples of comparable layout or print design work
- Estimated turnaround for a first draft
- Your rate

All final assets including layout files, illustrations, and supporting graphics are to be delivered with full exclusive commercial licence. The designer retains the right to display the work in their portfolio.

i'm looking for an illustrator to take my ai image of an elf and hand draw so i can file for a copyright.
The project is a "Work Made for Hire" and that all copyright ownership transfers to you upon payment.
You should use your AI image as a reference concept (mood, pose, color palette) but completely recreate it with their own human artistic choices, layout, and unique style. The final file should ideally be a layered digital file (like a .PSD or .Procreate file) to prove it was built from scratch.
Example attached.

Hi! I’m launching a women’s dress for my brand. I have moodboards and a clear aesthetic inspired by vintage Riviera glamour, feminine tailoring, and modern luxury. I’m looking for someone to develop my first capsule collection of 5 original dresses based on my inspiration. Can you show me similar work you’ve done?

I have a collection of original ideas that I’m ready to see on paper—fresh worlds, intriguing characters, and atmospheric settings that still live only in my imagination. My priority is concept art; I need visuals that capture mood, story, and function all at once. While my brief centres on concept pieces rather than straight-up character illustrations or product sketches, I’m happy if you weave those elements in whenever they strengthen the overall vision.

Here’s how I’d like us to work together: I’ll share written notes, reference boards, and any thematic constraints. You translate them into exploratory thumbnails, then a refined pass, and finally a polished, high-resolution illustration. Layered source files in PSD (or an equivalent format from Procreate, Clip Studio Paint, or Illustrator) are essential so I can adjust colours or isolate elements later. A transparent-background PNG of the final piece will cover my immediate presentation needs.

What will win my confidence is expressive line work, a thoughtful use of colour, and the ability to push a concept beyond the obvious while still keeping it readable. If that sounds like your creative sweet spot, let’s start sketching.

I am seeking an experienced Fashion Designer and Technical Designer to assist with the development of a premium women's fashion collection.

Scope of work:
• Fashion sketches based on my concepts
• Detailed, manufacturing-ready tech packs
• Fabric and trim recommendations
• Measurement specifications and grading guidance
• Sample development support and revisions
• Production-ready documentation for manufacturers

The initial collection includes:
• Corset
• Skirt
• Capris pants
• Dress with straps
• Strapless dress

Requirements:
• Experience developing women's apparel for production
• Experience creating factory-ready tech packs
• Knowledge of garment construction, fabrics, and fit
• Ability to support the sampling process and technical revisions

Please include examples of similar projects, particularly corsets, structured garments, dresses, or premium fashion collections.

I’ve got a photo of my own face and a reference image of a classic Lego minifigure. What I need is a fun, sticker-ready illustration where my head is seamlessly swapped onto the Lego body. The whole piece should sit in a bright, cartoonish mountain scene—think blue skies, crisp peaks and playful colours that match the Lego aesthetic.

Please keep the vibe light and bold so it reads well at sticker size, with clean outlines and flat shading rather than photo-realistic textures. A transparent background version alongside the full scene will help me place it on different surfaces later.

Deliverables:
• High-resolution print-ready PNG (300 dpi) with the full mountain background
• Separate transparent PNG of the character alone
• Original layered file (PSD or AI) in case I need small tweaks down the road

If you normally work in Photoshop, Illustrator, Procreate or another vector-friendly tool, that’s perfect—just let me know which one so I can open the source file. I’ll supply the headshot and Lego reference as soon as we start. Looking forward to seeing your creative take!

Here are two stickers I did in the past.

I am launching a new coastal lifestyle apparel brand called OLA PANAMA in Panama. I am looking for an experienced apparel graphic designer or illustrator to create unique and engaging designs for our brand. The ideal candidate will have a strong portfolio in apparel graphics and illustration, with a focus on coastal themes. Responsibilities include designing graphics for t-shirts, hoodies, and other apparel items, ensuring high-quality print-ready files, and collaborating with our team to bring our brand vision to life. All the designs must say Panama, since our stores are located in tourist areas.

Saya mengajar desain grafis secara online dengan fokus utama pada ilustrasi digital, dan seluruh kelas berlangsung live di Zoom. Untuk memperkaya pengalaman belajar murid-murid saya, saya membutuhkan bantuan Anda menyiapkan materi ajar yang rapi, menarik, dan siap pakai.

Ruang lingkup yang saya perlukan:
• Silabus singkat 4–6 pertemuan yang membangun keterampilan ilustrasi digital secara bertahap.
• Slide presentasi (PowerPoint / Keynote / PDF) lengkap dengan contoh visual dan catatan pengajar.
• File kerja contoh (PSD, AI, atau Procreate) yang dapat saya bagikan kepada peserta untuk latihan langsung.
• Tugas praktikum sederhana di setiap pertemuan beserta kunci jawaban atau contoh hasil akhir.
• Saran ice-breaker dan aktivitas interaktif yang cocok diterapkan lewat fitur Zoom (polling, breakout room, screen share, dsb.).

Saya akan menguji materi pada satu kelas percobaan; setelah itu saya mungkin meminta revisi ringan agar konten benar-benar pas dengan gaya mengajar saya. Pastikan semua contoh visual bebas hak cipta atau merupakan karya orisinal Anda.

Jika Anda pernah menyusun kurikulum atau materi ilustrasi digital sebelumnya, kirimkan portofolio atau cuplikan kerja serupa. Saya menilai hasil berdasarkan daya tarik visual, kejelasan langkah, dan kemudahan digunakan saat live teaching di Zoom.

Terima kasih—saya menantikan kolaborasi kreatif Anda!
