When starting out as an Illustrator, it is important to know what kind of Illustrator you are. If you are primarily a painter, then you may charge more than if you are primarily an Illustrator.
Conversely, if you are an Illustrator with a background in graphic design, you may charge less than someone who is primarily an Illustrator.
There are a few factors to consider when charging an Illustrator. These include: the type of illustration you are doing, the size of the project, the complexity of the illustration, and the time it will take to complete the project.
To start, it is important to understand the different types of illustrations an Illustrator can create. There are painting illustrations, which are created as paintings and are meant to be viewed in a framed environment; there are graphic illustrations, which are illustrations that are meant to be viewed on a computer screen or printed; and there are mixed media illustrations, which are illustrations that are made up of different mediums, such as painting, photography, and graphic design.
Next, consider the size of the project. If the project is small, then you may not charge as much as if the project is larger.
Additionally, the complexity of the illustration will affect the price. If the illustration is simple, then you may charge less than if the illustration is more complex.
Finally, consider the time it will take to complete the project. If the project is completed quickly, then you may charge less than if the project is completed more slowly.
