Hi Artists,
Are you tired of constantly chasing new clients?
We are building a serious coloring book team for 2026. We're looking for 2 long-term illustrators to grow with us.
We take our coloring books very seriously. These are not random projects.
Our goal this year:
- 48 Bold & Easy coloring books
- Winning books from cover to each page
- Consistent production
If you want steady work and a team that understands both art and business, keep reading.
[How We Work]
We don't guess. We:
Study Amazon best sellers
Identify proven themes
Combine them with Bold & Easy style
Design for the customer first
[Our Design Style]
Bold Lines: Thick, strong lines that are easy to see and follow
Easy to Color: Pages that work for both slow and fast colorers
Customer First: Every drawing is made thinking about the person who will color it
[Book Format]
40 illustrations per book
8.5" x 8.5" format
Front & back cover design
[How We Make Books]
Below is a general idea of our workflow.
Step 1: Planning
We give you instructions with the book theme and our market research
Review the trending themes and the concepts we found
Study reference materials from successful books
Understand target audience (adults, kids, or both)
Step 2: Making Drawings (4 Groups of 10 Drawings)
Make a group of 10 rough sketches for fast feedback
Each group gets reviewed before moving to next group
Keep same style and avoid repeating elements in all drawings
Step 3: Quality Check
Full review to make sure all drawings look consistent
Final changes to make ready for selling
Step 4: Cover Design
Front and back cover using best drawings from the book
Professional look that stands out from other books
