Prices & Rates
If you are not used to commissioning freelance illustrators and unfamiliar with prices and rates for this type of professional work then this page should be helpful to you. Single images start from as little as £40 and can rise to as much as £8,000, depending on a number of factors – principally, how long it takes.
The intended use of the image is also taken into account. If you are an author needing illustrations for a book Richard will consider your proposals but does not produce any artwork speculatively.
