My Process

Working with me will be a fun experience, I’ve got you every step of the way.

  • At the beginning, I’ll communicate a timeline so you’re not wondering when something is coming or when you need to provide feedback. I will reply within 24 hours after your initial message with any questions, details about the project and the cost.

  • We’ll talk about what you’d like the illustration to look like and so I can make sketches that suit the style, feeling, and end use you’re looking for and make sure it’s on-brand.

  • I’ll send you a PayPal invoice once we’ve agreed on the project and before I start to work. When the invoice is cleared, you’ll be asked to send 2-3 clear photos of the person/pet (or rough drafts if you have them) to my email hello@christyillustrates.com

  • You’ll receive sketches of the discussed design so you can see what it will look like, and provide feedback early on—this way you know what the final illustration will look like. *Additional revisions may incur additional cost. *

  • By the time you receive the final illustration, there should be no surprises!

  • All work is sent across digitally and should be completed within 15-20 days (obviously children’s books will take longer)

  • If you have any questions I haven’t covered here - feel free to scroll down to the bottom and fill out the form or you may email me directly. Either way I am more than happy to help.

Working together should be fun, so that’s why I aim to appreciate your time, be nice, communicate expectations & explanations, and understand boundaries and keep it to business hours, and I expect you’ll do the same with me.

Work is work, but we all have busy and messy lives we need to live too!
