How much should a freelance Illustrator charge?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 6:37 pm

When it comes to freelance Illustrators, many people have a pretty difficult time figuring out how much they should charge. After all, there are so many different factors that go into pricing a project, from the amount of time it will take to complete it to the complexity of the illustration itself.

That said, here are a few tips to help you get started:

– Determine the amount of time it will take to complete the project. This will help you determine the starting point for your price.

– Be realistic about the complexity of the illustration. If the project is relatively easy, you may be able to charge less.

PRO TIP: When negotiating your rate with a client, be sure to consider the time investment required for the project as well as the skill level needed to complete it. Don’t undercharge yourself just because you’re starting out – you’ll only end up resentful and stressed. It’s better to start out charging a bit more than you think you’re worth, and then negotiate down from there if necessary.

On the other hand, if the illustration is more complex, you may be able to charge more.

– Take into account the type of project. If the illustration is for a book, magazine, or website, you may be able to charge more.

On the other hand, if the illustration is for a poster or commercial, you may be able to charge less.

– Be prepared to give a detailed explanation of your work. It’s important that clients understand what they’re getting into before they agree to work with you.
