Since the book is based on real people, the key is making the cartoon characters feel fun and child friendly while still keeping each person recognizable and consistent from page to page. I can create expressive children and adult characters, then carry the same proportions, features, and personality throughout all 11 to 20 illustrations. I have experience with personalized children’s book illustration and character design. Portfolio: https://www.freelancer.com/u/Humaumair12 I can begin with character sketches for approval, then move into the full illustrations with a consistent cartoon style. Warm Regards, Huma
