Invoicing as a Freelance Illustrator

Illustrators sell both the artwork and the right to use it. Invoices that separate creation fees from licensing make it easier to charge fairly for wider use.

How Illustrators Usually Bill

Illustrators often price per piece, with licensing fees that depend on where, how long and how widely the artwork will be used.

Example Invoice Line Items

  • Book cover illustration
  • Spot illustrations (set of five)
  • Usage licence: print and web
  • Additional revision

Add any of these as line items in the calculator above.

Costs to Plan For

  • Drawing tablet and art supplies
  • Illustration software
  • Scanning and printing
  • Portfolio website

Whether a cost is tax-deductible depends on where you live. Check with a qualified tax adviser.

Tip

List the licence scope (media, territory, time period) on the invoice so there is a record of what the client paid to use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I sell the copyright or a licence?

Many illustrators grant a licence and keep the copyright. Full buyouts are usually priced higher, and the terms belong in your agreement.

How do I invoice sketches that were not chosen?

Concept sketches take real time, so many illustrators include a set number in the price and bill extra rounds separately.
