Because of the highly specific nature of each project, rates vary greatly depending on a number of different factors, such as the timeline of the project, the necessary licensing, the level of detail, the number of illustrations, and the services rendered. Please contact me for a more specific quote.

At minimum, I block out a month for each project. However, timelines vary depending on several factors, such as external deadlines that the client may need to meet, how many different parties must sign off on the artwork at each stage, the complexity of the project, and my availability. If a project has a timeline of under a month, the client may be subject to a rush fee.

I tend to divide a project into three main stages:

1. Sketch stage: This is when I do the bulk of the research for a project, and when I would need to be sent any pertinent materials, such as papers, media, and references, from the client. This is when the layout of the illustration and necessary information should be figured out. This stage may be divided into a rough sketch and a clean sketch. If there is a lot of text that much be fit into the illustration, it is helpful to have it at this stage as well.

2. Rendering Stage: This is when I add detail and subtlety to the illustration. If the artwork is in color, this is when I add color. If the illustration is line work, this is when I clean up and refine the line work. I also refine text and labels in this stage.

3. Final/Revisions: Typically, when the artwork is being finalized, some revisions are necessary. These revisions should be minor tweaks and should not change the overall layout or add in additional structures. I allow two rounds of revisions. Additional revisions, major layout changes, complete redraws, or other significant changes will incur an additional fee or entirely new illustration.
