Understanding the illustrator's style helps in picking the right one. Different illustrators have different ways of drawing and coloring. Look at their past work to see if it matches what you're imagining for your project.
How can I check the illustrator's past work?
Checking past work, like a portfolio, is important. It shows their experience and creativity. Browse through their portfolio to see what kind of drawings and designs they have done before and if they fit your vision.
What are the main project goals?
Defining clear goals helps the illustrator understand what you want. Think about what the illustrations should show and who will see them. Share these ideas and goals with the illustrator at the start.
What is the timeline for the project?
A clear timeline helps ensure the project stays on track. Decide when you need each part finished. Share this timeline with the illustrator so they know when to deliver each piece.
What tools does the illustrator use?
Knowing the tools helps you understand the illustrator's process. Some might use digital apps, while others prefer traditional methods. Ask which they use so you know what to expect in terms of style and adaptability.
What is the revision process like?
Clear guidelines for revisions help avoid misunderstandings. Discuss how many changes you can ask for and how feedback will be handled. This helps manage expectations for both you and the illustrator.
How will we communicate during the project?
Good communication keeps a project on course. Decide how often you’ll talk and the best way to do it, like email or video calls. Consistent updates mean you’ll know how things are progressing.
What are the final deliverables?
Knowing deliverables helps check the project's progress. Decide what formats you need the illustrations in and how they will be delivered. Ensure both you and the illustrator agree on these details early on.
Is the illustrator available for future projects?
Availability for future work can be important if more illustrations are needed later. Ask the illustrator if they might be free for other projects. This helps plan long-term collaborations.
How will feedback be provided?
Clear feedback systems ensure the illustrator knows what you like or want to change. Decide how you will give comments on their work. This helps align their art with your vision more effectively.
