I will write and illustrate a custom kids colouring book
Anita J Designs
About this gig
Welcome to your complete children's book creation studio!
Are you looking for a professional partner to bring your story to life? As a Canadian freelance illustrator, trained designer (BFA in Theatre Design), and self-published author-illustrator of two children's books, I know exactly what it takes to build a book from scratch.
I don't just draw, I help you design the entire reader experience using Autodesk Sketchbook and Canva.
What I Offer:
- Story & Copywriting: I can write or refine your short story copy.
- Custom Digital Illustration: Whimsical children's styles tailored to your theme.
- Layout & Formatting: Completely print-ready layouts (perfect for Amazon KDP).
- Creative Consulting: Direction on book cover concepts, pacing, and visual branding.
Please note: Standard children's books use a layout where text and artwork share the page count (e.g., text on the left, art on the right). Check my packages below to see the exact page-to-illustration ratios, or message me for a custom quote if you need full-page artwork on every page!
Let's collaborate and make your book unforgettable! Message me today to discuss your theme.
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

FAQ
Q: Do you write the story, or do I need to provide the text?
A: I can do both! If you already have your manuscript, I will use your text to design the layout. If you only have an idea, I can write the creative short story copy or rhymes for you. Just let me know your theme during checkout!
Q: Why does a 32-page book package include 15 illustrations?
A: Standard children's books use a professional facing-page layout. This means text sits on one page (the left side) and a full-page illustration sits on the opposite page (the right side). If you need an illustration on every single page, you can easily purchase my "Extra Illustration" option.
Q: What software do you use, and will my book be ready to print?
A: I hand-draw my artwork in Autodesk Sketchbook and handle the professional book layout and typography formatting inside Canva. Your final delivery will include a high-resolution, print-ready PDF that is perfectly formatted for platforms like Amazon KDP or IngramSpark.
Q: Can I legally sell the book once you deliver it?
A: Yes! Commercial use is fully included in my Standard and Premium packages. Once the order is complete, you own the rights to the text layout and illustrations to self-publish, print, and sell your book commercially.
Q: Can we do a custom order if my page count or needs are different?
A: Absolutely. Every creative project is unique. If you need a specific number of pages, a custom mix of hyper-realistic reproductions, or standalone creative consulting, please click "Contact Seller" to message me. I will send you a tailored custom offer!
