Book Cover Artist and Digital Painter (US)

We are looking for a talented US-based digital artist to help color our book covers. We hope to build a long-term relationship for future releases and to update our existing collection.

You can view our books and cover styles on JadeSummer.com. We have a bestselling coloring book brand with more than 200 published titles (including self-published on Amazon and traditionally published with top publishers).

JOB DESCRIPTION

We will provide finished black-and-white line art for each book cover. Your job is to turn that line art into a beautiful full-color cover with the cozy, polished, commercial look of our existing Jade Summer books.

You should be strong at:

1. Coloring existing line art
2. Creating warm, cozy lighting
3. Choosing soft, appealing color palettes
4. Adding depth, texture, and polish
5. Making artwork look professional and marketable as an Amazon book cover
6. Keeping files clean, organized, and easy for our team to edit

SCHEDULE AND PAY

Hours: Approximately 10 hours per week (we can match to your schedule).
Pay: $30 USD per hour.
Payment Method: Weekly direct deposits.
Schedule: Normal business hours in EST.

AI POLICY

You may use AI tools for reference, mood boards, or color palette inspiration. However, the final cover artwork must be your own hand-painted work applied to our line art. We cannot accept AI-generated artwork as the final cover file.

IDEAL CANDIDATE

The ideal person has excellent taste, strong coloring ability, and can make existing line art look like a polished book cover.

You may be a good fit if you:

1. Have strong digital painting or coloring skills
2. Understand cute, cozy, commercial illustration
3. Can create warm lighting and appealing color palettes
4. Can follow an existing brand style
5. Are consistent from project to project
6. Communicate clearly and meet deadlines
7. Can deliver organized layered PSD files

Pay: From $30.00 per hour
