Choosing A Professional Illustrator Portland Maine

By Jeannie Chapman


It is often said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Others say that you cannot judge a book by its cover. In truth the right picture can make all the difference and this is why it is worth investing in the services of a professional illustrator Portland Maine in order to really make a project stand out.

There are a lot of different types of illustration. Some can be rich, vivid and detailed, ideal for presenting fantasy worlds or vivid depictions of alien worlds in a science fiction story. Others may prefer a more cartoon like style ideal for more comical stories. There is no right or wrong and ultimately what one person likes may be different from another.

This is why it is best to look at the website at an artist. This will give you an idea of the kind of style they have. This then makes it a lot easier to narrow down the options until you have two or three that you feel will be ideal for your particular project and the amount of work you need them to do.

You also need to think about the amount of illustrations you need. If you have an artist that creates pictures that are hand drawn and need a lot of detail then it may be best to limit the amount of pictures they do. Alternatively someone with a simpler and more cartoon like style can probably produce a lot more pictures a lot more quickly. What you have to decide is what is appropriate.

Once you know how many you want and the kind of style it is then easier to contact an illustrator as you can tell them exactly what you want. They should then tell you how much they charge per page. For example some may charge for a black and white picture and then more to add colour.

When looking for an artist it is best to check their website. Look at whether the style is appropriate to your needs. They should also provide clear commission details so you know how much you will be charged for their work. Some may charge for redoing work so it is best to ask about this first if they do not make this clear.

You should also have a formal agreement. Some companies pay 50 per cent upfront for illustrations and then the other 50 per cent when the work has been completed in a way that they are happy with. This tends to be best for both the artist and the person commissioning the work. You should also give a clear deadline so they know how long they have to do it. Often it is easier for an artist to focus on a project if they know when it has to be in for!

The best way to find an illustrator Portland Maine is to look online. There are a lot of professional associations and websites where you can find a wide array of artistic talent. It is also advisable to get feedback from previous clients as this will help you find the most reliable illustrators to get you the best quality work!
