Disney Style Cartoon Steer/Cow Illustrations

I have written a picture book for children aged 3-5 that stars the five real steers I raise on my property. The manuscript is mostly ready - what it still needs is a full suite of bright, vibrant, Disney-esque illustrations set entirely on the farm—barnyard, pasture, watering hole, hay bales, the works.

You’ll receive reference photos and short bios for each steer so their markings and personalities come through in an exaggerated, friendly cartoon look. In return I’m expecting:
• one color character sheet per steer showing front, side and a key expression
• full-page or spread illustrations for every story beat (the exact count we can decide together once you’ve reviewed the text)
• a cover illustration that matches the interior style
• print-ready files in CMYK plus web-ready RGB copies

Please keep the palette bold and lively, with clear shapes that will read well for little ones when printed at 8×10. Familiarity with Procreate, Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop is welcome as long as the final artwork arrives in layered PSD or AI so type and bleed adjustments are easy.

Once the character sheets are approved, we’ll move in milestones: rough thumbnails, cleaned-up sketches, then final color. I’ll give prompt feedback at each step so nothing stalls.

If drawing cuddly cattle kicking up dust across sunny farm scenes sounds fun, let’s chat and get these steers leaping off the page.
