Hand-Drawn Candle Label Design

---

Job Title: Candle Label Designer – Hand-Drawn Rustic Montana Landscapes Job Description: I’m launching a line of Montana-inspired candles and am looking for a skilled illustrator to design candle labels featuring custom, hand-drawn artwork of iconic Montana landscapes. Each candle is themed after a specific location, and I’ll provide photo references for every one. Your job is to transform those images into handcrafted illustrations that capture the rugged, natural beauty of each place. Important: The designs must look authentically hand-drawn. No AI-generated images or overly digital renderings — I’m looking for work that feels organic, earthy, and made by hand. You may use Adobe Illustrator or a similar program to make the design, but the art itself must reflect true illustration skill. Initial Locations to Illustrate: 1. Bridger Mountains 2. Lava Lake 3. Fairy Lake 4. Hyalite Canyon 5. Lamar Valley (Yellowstone National Park) Design Style & Aesthetic: -Rustic, nature-inspired, grounded in the Montana wilderness -Preferably black and white or earth tones with a single pop of color -Cohesive label layout across all 5 designs -Hand-drawn look and feel — no artificial or overly polished styles Each Label Should Include: -Custom hand-drawn illustration (based on my photo references) -Candle name (tied to the place) -Scent notes -Brand name -Candle size (e.g., 8 oz soy wax candle) Deliverables: -5 custom candle label designs (one per location) -Print-ready files -Editable source files -Potential for long-term collaboration as new candle scents/locations are added What I’m Looking For: -A portfolio that showcases hand-drawn illustration work — ideally nature-themed -Experience designing labels or packaging is a plus -Someone who can take direction but also bring creativity to the table Bonus if you’ve ever visited Montana and understand the vibe To Apply: Please include: A short note about your experience Portfolio links showing hand-drawn work Any relevant packaging/label examples
