Creative Design / Digital Art, Illustrator
This role involves creating approximately 40‑45 realistic illustrations for a children’s book aimed at readers aged 8‑12, focusing on swimming and diving board tricks. The book combines engaging storytelling with instructional content, requiring artwork that accurately depicts human anatomy and dynamic action scenes. Illustrations will showcase divers in mid‑air above diving boards from multiple perspectives (front, side, back). A sample assignment will involve illustrating ‘Ana,’ an 11‑year‑old Latina girl, in a vibrant realistic style.
The project is remote, with a final and publication planned for spring 2026. The book is being developed by a first‑time author and retired psychologist with extensive diving experience.
