From your sketch
Do you have an idea for an illustration that you’d like? Can you sketch it out?
A simple drawing or even a stick-man of your idea is all I need. I will do the rest!
Here’s what I would need from you:
- Send me your sketched idea.
- If it is about real people, then it would help if you could send me a photo of the people involved.
- Give me any other useful information – for example, what is the illustration going to be used for? Do you want the characters wearing any particular clothes?
Here’s what I’ll do:
- I’ll draw up your illustration, and send it to you in a draft version.
- I will make up to two revisions based on your feedback.
- I will then send you the final version.
From a story
Do you have a favourite story that needs pictures?
Or a family in-joke – perhaps you’d like to turn it into a birthday card for a family member?
Or perhaps you’re writing a book and you’d like it illustrated.
Here’s what I would need from you:
- Send me your story.
- If it is about real people, then it would help if you could send me a photo of the people involved.
- Give me any other useful information – for example, do you want the illustration to include the family pet? Or should the people be eating off green plates?
Here’s what I’ll do:
- I’ll draw up your illustration, and send it to you in a draft version.
- I will make up to two revisions based on your feedback.
- I will then send you the final version.
From reference images or photos
Do you want an illustration that is based on an actual photograph?
For example:
- a drawing of the church where you got married
- a drawing of your first car
- a drawing of a favourite city skyline
Here’s what I would need from you:
- Send me your reference photograph(s).
- Give me any other useful information – for example, do you want a background colour? Is there any particular feature you want highlighted or removed?
Here’s what I’ll do:
- I’ll draw up your illustration, and send it to you in a draft version.
- I will make up to two revisions based on your feedback.
- I will then send you the final version.
