My first time doing this #artistsearch, but we’re looking for an #inker to help out with the second book in a middle grade #graphicnovel series. The style leans scribbly and cartoonish for a young audience. Please reply here with image samples and a link to your portfolio!

I don’t art direct comics or graphic novels so I never work with coloring artists but I'm working on a new illustrated chapter book where we'd be repackaging existing grayscale finished art and need to colorize it. If you’re a colorist, please share samples and a link to your folio. No DMs pls. 💙❤️
