Question by Math_Guy: I am self-publishing a children’s book and I need an Illustrator, any ideas where I can find one?
I’ve written a children’s book and will be self-publishing it but I’d like to find someone who can do a few illustrations to go along with my text…
I need someone who can do it reasonably priced or free as I am only a student and cannot afford to spend that much $ $ .

I don’t know much about the subject but I’m just going to suggest something, I don’t know if it’s ridiculous or not lol.
Maybe you could go to some schools and look at some of the artwork by the teenagers. There are so many people in my year who are amazing at drawing cartoons and stuff like that. No one really takes into account their talents, so maybe you could look around for a fellow student who has a skill for drawing?
Ask around. As a student, ask an art teacher/professor for someone who illustrates in the style you like. Perhaps a classified ad in a magazine might work (I’ve considered this for an idea I have for a graphic novel). Don’t use a friend! This is disaster waiting to happen. But as for money, propose splitting any costs and profits 50/50 with the illustrator. If you do this, get it in writing and make sure it’s official. This is the only way I can see you doing it cheaply. Having someone do the illustrating and expecting them to let you have the pics won’t work unless you pay them $ $ $ for their efforts.
