Children's book illustrator
We are currently working on a series of stories for children, featuring three brothers discovering mathematical mechanisms in everyday situations: eating ice cream (derivatives and integrals), sports training, concentration in learning, probability in collecting figurines, or similarity of triangles during holiday adventures.
Project Character
The project involves creating a series of books / stories, each based on a separate area of mathematics.
Currently, texts are ready covering, among others:
calculus in practice,
probability,
similarity of triangles and field geometry.
The stories have a volume of about 1200, 1500, 1600 words
Target Group
reader's age: 7–14 years (with the possibility of reading with a parent in younger groups),
the book should be visually appealing and understandable also for children who have not yet formally encountered the discussed concepts, we create mathematical imagination without formulas and tedious calculations
commercial project – retail sales.
Key effect: After closing the book, the child should think:
“I can think like that too.” “Mathematics works in life.” “Mathematics is cool.”
Scope of Cooperation
We are looking for an illustrator / graphic designer who:
will design characters and a coherent visual world of the series, The Three Brothers (Piotrek 12 years old, Franek 11 years old, Zdzisio 5 years old). These characters will become the basis for the visual identity (Key Visual) of our foundation
will create illustrations (including full-page ones),
will develop the concept of mathematical infographics,
will prepare stylized, “handwritten” charts (e.g., Piotrek's notebook),
will design the book format,
will perform full layout and preparation for printing,
will propose technological solutions (paper, cover, type of printing).
We assume a high degree of creative freedom in terms of visual interpretation.
A test pilot chapter is planned before the full implementation.
Preferred Stylistic Direction
soft, warm, watercolor style,
characters relatively realistic, with slight stylization,
full-page illustrations with additional infographic elements,
drawing elements stylized as notebook notes.
Production Assumptions
series of books,
initial print run of at least 100 copies per title (to be increased further),
affordable book,
decisions regarding format, cover, and printing technology – to be developed together.
Please provide information:
Portfolio of book projects.
Estimated pricing:
character and visual world design,
illustrations (approximate number per story),
layout and preparation for printing.
Proposed implementation schedule.
Cooperation model (full transfer of copyright).
Possibility of implementing a pilot chapter.
The project aims to become a long-term series and a showcase for the foundation.
We are looking for a creator who will not only illustrate the text but also co-create the visual concept of the brand.

25 days269 USD
2993 12 0 4 25 days269 USDYour series bridges the gap between abstract math and childhood wonder, which is exactly where visual storytelling shines. I understand the goal is to make 12-year-old Piotrek's hand-drawn calculus notes feel as organic and approachable as 5-year-old Zdzisio's curiosity. Translating concepts like derivatives or triangle similarity into a warm, watercolor world requires a balance of technical accuracy and soft, inviting aesthetics that encourage children to see the world through a mathematical lens.
My approach focuses on creating a cohesive Key Visual for the three brothers that anchors the entire foundation's brand. I will start by developing the distinct personalities of Piotrek, Franek, and Zdzisio to ensure they remain consistent across the series. For the layout, I combine watercolor textures with clean infographics to make educational elements feel like a natural part of the adventure. I handle the entire pipeline from initial sketches to final print-ready DTP files, ensuring the chosen paper and binding complement the soft and warm artistic direction.
Looking forward to discussing your project in detail.

2456 50 5 14 days323 USDGood morning! My name is Oleksandra, I am a Middle Graphic Designer and illustrator with over 6 years of experience. Your project of combining mathematics with the everyday life of brothers is incredibly inspiring — it is exactly the kind of challenge where visual design becomes an educational tool.
Why my candidacy will be suitable:
1) Creating a world and characters (Key Visual): I have extensive experience in designing coherent visual systems. I will create the characters of three brothers (12, 11, and 5 years old) in a way that reflects their age and personality, becoming a recognizable hallmark of your foundation.
2) "Warm Watercolor" Style & Infographics: I can combine soft, artistic digital illustration (imitating watercolor) with clear, "notebook-style" diagrams. It is crucial for a child to understand integrals or probability without fear of formulas.
3) Comprehensive preparation for print (DTP): I not only draw but also handle the complete layout. I will help choose the format, paper weight, and type of binding (e.g., cover enhancements) to ensure the book is visually appealing and affordable.
4) Strategic approach: I understand that this is a commercial and long-term project. I will prepare the files so that they can be easily scaled for subsequent volumes of the series.
My proposal for implementation:
… Pilot stage: I would be happy to create a test chapter to develop a common visual language.
Copyright: I offer full transfer of copyright for commercial and promotional purposes of the foundation.
Technology: I work in Adobe programs (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop), which guarantees the highest print quality.
Estimated pricing and schedule:
I would be happy to provide a detailed cost estimate after reviewing the volume of one story (approximate number of illustrations). I propose dividing the process into stages: character design -> illustrations -> layout -> preparation for print.
I invite you to view my portfolio atBehance. I am ready to discuss the details and collaboratively create the series.

My experience in classical painting and digital illustration allows me to create unique characters and a visual world for the entire book series. I am already working on projects for younger audiences and understand the importance of building mathematical imagination. I am ready to co-create this ambitious series and make children feel that mathematics is not just formulas, but a fascinating part of life.
