Has anyone tried out publishing illustrated children's books? I have an idea I want to get started on and while my drawing skills are somewhat passable, for the niche I want to go into it will be important to have nicely illustrated and colorful images (ie. not stick people). I've been looking to outsource the illustrations and was wondering if anyone has used Fiverr for these types of services and if so what were your general impressions? Did you have to work your way through several illustrators before you settled on just one? Or did you just run with the best portfolio for your needs. Also, looking ahead were you able to still use the same person for successive books?
Basically this will give me an idea if I should brush up my drawing skills by taking some classes to do it myself (will definitely be some time investment over the short term but could be easier in the long run - maybe?) or just start outsourcing from the get go.
Thanks!
