Hello, my name is Shira and I'm a Sydney based illustrator.
I have over a decade of experience as a creative professional and extensive experience producing illustrations for children's books, educational products, apparel, publications, and animation.
I produce all of my illustrations graphically in Adobe Illustrator, which is the easiest illustration software to animate, meaning that if you want to convert your illustrations into animations in future, it will be a simpler more cost effective process. Designs produced in Illustrator are vector format, which means that you will also be able to reproduce the illustrations in any size without needing new illustrations created for you. This is particularly helpful for merchandising and promoting your business.
If you'd like to send me some examples of the illustration style you'd like for your book and some information about it (number of illustrations/pages, full page illustrations or spot illustrations etc), I can send you some ideas and a more accurate time frame and quote :)
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Shira
