  • Depiction of key characters : pixies, children, and parents in cozy bedtime settings

Requirements

  • Proven experience illustrating children’s books or similar projects, with a strong portfolio showcasing magical realism and fantasy styles
  • Proficiency in digital illustration tools (Adobe Photoshop, Procreate, or equivalent)
  • Ability to create warm, colorful, and nostalgic visual themes
  • Strong attention to detail and consistency in character and scene design
  • Excellent communication skills and responsiveness to feedback
