Illustration Commissions – new for 2024

In the age of AI generated images and digital art, incorporating traditional hand drawn illustration into your project adds a timeless, personal and authentic touch.

Graphite drawings are eye catching, have a beautiful intimacy, are wonderfully versatile and the depth of tonal detail is excellent when reproduced.

Further information about commissioning an illustration(s) is detailed below and a link to the enquiry form can be found at the bottom of the page, so do get in touch to discuss your requirements, I’d love to hear from you.

Bringing your project to life

I specialise in realistic illustration that focuses on the natural world – a twenty(plus)-year background in ecology means that I bring an additional layer of understanding to the subject matter, and an all round passion for nature ensures that each illustration is approached with sensitivity and care, and always has your vision and requirements at its heart.

Areas I can help with include editorial (magazines, books, leaflets), packaging/merchandise, stationary (weddings, events, business) and websites. Potential clients include wildlife and environmental organisations, private companies, publishers, authors and design agencies.

From single subjects to complex illustrations, I’d love to discuss your requirements further.

Hand drawn, illustration that is created using traditional methods provides an elegant and eye-catching addition to a broad range of applications, working beautifully alongside contemporary software-designed deliverables.

Bespoke or existing drawings?

There are a couple of options available when it comes to illustration: you can either choose to commission a bespoke illustration(s) for your particular project, or licence an existing drawing.

Whatever your illustration needs, I’m here to help.

How illustration commissions work

As a member of the Association of Illustrators, all of my illustration work adheres to standard best practice, whereby the illustration artwork is licenced for a specified use; therefore, each quote is bespoke to the requirements of the particular commission, including usage of the artwork, length of time needed, and distribution/territory requirements.

Following receipt of the brief, ideas will be drafted out before being progressed into the finished artwork. The finished illustration will be emailed over as a high-resolution digital image file to be incorporated into your project and bring it to life.
