2D Cartoon Artist for Kids Character Design

We are creating strong, emotional characters for a kids brand called MileyLand. The main character, Miley, is a confident and curious 5-year-old girl. Your task will be to design her in a soft, modern 2D cartoon style, inspired by Pixar, focusing on warmth, life, and emotional depth. Begin by creating a rough sketch of Miley’s face that showcases her personality, emphasizing expressive eyes, soft features, and a relaxed, childlike posture. If the initial portrait matches our direction, the project will move to produce a full character sheet (front and side views, full body), five facial expressions, and provide layered, high-resolution files suitable for animation. The style must connect instantly with kids and feel both gentle and emotionally engaging. Please deliver the initial face sketch in the first phase for feedback, before proceeding to the final deliverables.

Budget range:
$20 - $30
