Look at relevant work
Look beyond a list of skills. Read the examples and the person’s role in making them.
Work with illustrators
Find an illustrator.
Make something happen.
From spot illustrations to editorial illustration, find someone who understands what you need. Look at their work and start with a conversation.
Small tasks. Bigger projects.
What could you
make together?
Start with the outcome. These are some of the things illustrators can help bring into the world.
A good start makes
the work better.
Use the conversation to make the details clear before committing.
Talk through your idea
Explain the outcome, timing and constraints. Ask what they need from you and what is included.
Make the scope clear
Agree the deliverables, review stages and price. A short shared brief is a better start than assumptions.
A brief you can both use
Be specific about
what good means.
Example acceptance criteria for illustrators. Adapt them to your project.
- Six spot illustrations, 1200 × 1200 px, transparent background, delivered as PNG plus the layered source file.
- Two rounds of revisions on the sketches before final rendering.
- Style matches the three references linked in the brief.
Keep the feedback
with the work.
A delivery on a canvas is reviewed with pins dropped on the artwork and a compare of last round and this one — the note lives exactly where it applies.
Priced as a fixed project split into deliveries — sketches, colour, final files — each protected and approved on its own.

Uploaded work is a person’s own claim. A platform provenance badge links to a qualifying delivery; it does not certify every skill or guarantee a future result. Reviews provide another perspective.
