How do I find an illustrator with the right experience?
Look for illustrators who have worked on similar projects. Their portfolio can show if they've illustrated books, magazines, or online pieces. Make sure the illustrator’s past work fits with your project’s needs.

Explain who will see the illustrations, like kids or adults. Mention any cultural or style things important to your audience. This helps the illustrator create art that connects with them.
