I've written a children's book and I'm looking for someone to do the artwork. I'm pretty good with words but not so much with drawing and painting. If anyone with artistic skills is interested PM me!
Here's the story:
Everything in parentheses is just ideas for the illustrations.
The Adventures of Kitty: Kitty Finds a Home
Page 1. Cindy loved her new home. There were pretty flowers on the front lawn. (Cindy stands in front of her new home, admiring the flowers).
Page 2. She decorated her living room just how she liked! (Cindy hangs a picture).
Page 3. After a long day of decorating, she made ready for bed. (Cindy, wearing pajamas, yawns).
Page 4. While she was sleeping, a noise outside woke her. (Cindy looks scared, hiding under the covers).
Page 5. Then she heard the sound more clearly. “That sounds like a cat!” (Cindy listens, and a “Meow!” comes from outside the window).
Page 6. She opened the bedroom window, and in bounded a kitty cat! (Kitty bounds in, with Cindy smiling).
Page 7. Kitty had no collar. She looked very thin. “Poor thing, you must be starved!” (Kitty looks sad while Cindy looks concerned).
Page 8. “I can give you some tuna for now.” (Kitty smiles as Cindy feeds her).
Page 9. Kitty sneezed. “I’ll bet you’re sick, too.” (Kitty sneezes with her eyes as slits and her mouth open).
Page 10. “I’ll keep you here overnight. Tomorrow, I’m taking you to the vet! (Cindy sits on the bed, petting Kitty, who snuggles and purrs).
Page 11. They slept soundly through the night. (Kitty sleeps at Cindy’s feet, all curled up. Zzzz’s come from both).
Page 12. The next morning, Cindy made breakfast. “You can have some of my bacon and milk until I can give you proper food.” (Kitty mewls to beg).
Page 13. After breakfast, Cindy went out to buy a carrying case for Kitty. (Cindy drives away while Kitty looks out the window).
Page 14. While Cindy was away, Kitty thought about exploring the house – (Kitty looks at the big, empty house from her perch near the window).
Page 15. – but decided it was much too big and scary! Instead, she settled in for a nap. (Kitty curls up on the back of the couch by the window).
Page 16. Eventually, Cindy came home. (Kitty perks up and looks out the window).
Page 17. Cindy brought in the kitty carrier, and let Kitty explore it. (Kitty’s tail and hindquarters stick out the back).
Page 18. Cindy closed Kitty inside! “I’m sorry, but I have to take you in this way." (Kitty mews from inside the carrier).
Page 19. Soon, they were off to the vet. (Kitty looks out the car window through the carrier, looking sad).
Page 20. When they reached the vet’s office, Kitty looked out and saw a whole new place to explore! (Kitty looks wide-eyed as they enter the building).
Page 21. Once inside, Kitty was greeted with lots of new smells. (Kitty sniffs the air through her carrier. Doggies sit nearby and other kitties are in carriers).
Page 22. When kitty went in to see the vet, she saw interesting furniture – (Kitty is on the examining table, looking down at a free-standing cabinet).
Page 23. – and jumped down to explore! (Cindy looks surprised; the reader only sees the back of the vet’s head; Kitty is sniffing under a cabinet).
Page 24. Back on the table, Kitty looked around while the vet examined her. “She’s a little underfed, but otherwise I think she’ll be fine.” (Cindy holds Kitty in place).
Page 25. The vet gave Kitty some medicine to make her all better! (Kitty is back in the carrier, while the vet, standing in the doorway to his office, waves to Cindy and Kitty).
Page 26. Back in the house, Kitty snuggled up to Cindy, secure in her new home. (Cindy sits on the couch reading a book with Kitty asleep on her lap).
