1. What is a good rate for an artist to draw a 200 page graphic
novel
The price that is charged by an artist has several considerations:
o Just what is the experience of the artist? Is this the initial time they are worked with for
. their capability, or is he or she 'set up' in their field? This definitely would
. result'
rates. 'o Just what are the basic 'going rates' for this sort of work? [Do a Google Look.]
o Exactly what is the due date for this project? Does it have to be 'done yesterday,' i.e.,
. considered as a' rush order,' or is their a reasonable, activity administration time
. frame?o Exactly what is the pace the ARTIST prefers to work? Is the artist 'allowed' to function
. at their preferred rate? This should be worked out at the beginning!!
o Just how lots of stages exist to this project? For instance, the artist sends
.' loose drafts 'initial for approval then continues to a second phase of 'drafting.'
. 3rd stage is then final illustrations. Or, when employed for the general task, the
. whole physical body of illustrations is generated, then submitted?o Does the artist have an absolute
CLEAR comprehending just what STYLE the
. drawings are? For instance
,
is each drawing easy or complicated with
. bunches of time needed to complete each?
Is the hire
for, say, a kids's book
. image(probably easy line illustrations)or is
the actual completed novel
.
'art?'This understanding requires an entirely
various point of view of not
. just the work itself yet of the costs to be charged.o What are the literal
products the artist will have to complete the
task?
. How much color use is included, just how much paper and also what kind ... and so on
.
ALL EXPENSES need to be figured in not merely for 'substitute'of the artist's
.
materials, but the artist could think about including a 10-15 % for including extra
.

2. supplies to their center. o The amount of
actual travel is entailed for the artist?
This would consists of ALL
.
out-of pocket expenditures, consisting of
gas and auto % upkeep and meal times.
.
If the
artist is expected to fly to an additional
area and keep a hotels and resort, all
those
.
expenditures are to be included, with
reliably kept documents for review by the
. company as well as compensated by them.o The number
of individuals will the artist need to 'solution to?'Is the artist'directed,'
. or are they
totally as well
as totally an independent rep to make the job?
. [This is a severe consideration! 'Too several cooks
ruin the broth!'] o Is the artist being employed by a specific or is
their a well established
. company that will pay the costs? Is this a civil service organization or
. an industrial venture?o The artist could consider under all of these considerations as well as others,
a
. pre-determined 'task fee' or a hourly wage if that is suitable to
.
both the artist as well as the employer.o Typically EACH web page of art work is priced by the
theory of'one third's. '
.
One 3rd for time. One 3rd for supplies. One 3rd for 'ability.'
. There are a plethora of
exceptions however, depending on the standing
. not only of the artist, yet of the job as well as the employer.o Another real-time professional factor
to consider for the artist is the amount of
. real exposure
their artwork will have. I would recommend that the artist
. RETAIN all copyrights on each of the
art works and also photos. Along with
.
this is the CREDIT REPORT offered to the artist in the novel. This could include
. not only
name credit, but the factor to consider of placement, size as well as
. demonstration of that credit
rating in the actual book. If each one of this is sufficient to the artist, this
might be just what could be seriously
. taken into consideration as' value' in the method'they
'
are marketed VIA the novel.
. This 'credit'deserves a lot.
Real advertising and marketing of the artist deserves as much
. as some'cash, 'depending upon the
number of individuals will certainly buy and/or watch
. the artist's job.

3. In this sense, cost could be somewhat flexible, particularly
.
IF the book is being composed by someone established with a trusted As Well As
.
KNOWN publisher! Furthermore, resolving this quite topic, I highly propose
.
that the artist DOES N'T work with 'spec' a doesn't take a percentage of publication
.
sales, UNLESS it has actually been demonstratively confirmed by the author and also the
. author has extremely genuine concrete advantages.o I recommend that the artist need a 50 %
deposit * for
the project, no matter
. whether the artist is' per hour'or'by job
.
'(The artist REQUIREMENT have a clear
. concept of the amount of time will be
engageded in generating the artwork as well as will certainly
.
add AT LEAST 10-30 % for 'just in situation'something shows up! * Or the artist could request
payment'in thirds.
'One 3rd in advance, one 3rd
. half means through and also final third on completion.
Or perhaps once a week payments
. based on a per hour wage if that was the choice, ALL
relying on
. legal arrangement that produces win-win for ALL parties involved!o Talking of
contracts: both the artist and also the employer WILL CERTAINLY have every little thing
. in
writing, signed not simply by the artist as well as the company, however is observed
. and
authorized either by
an attending attorney or a notary of good standing.o 200 pages of artwork IS A LOT! This will
indicate that the artist will certainly have no
. time for other projects, nor will
be literally able to market and/or promote
. various other jobs by them. THIS is a serious
consideration and has to be considered
. extremely meticulously by the artist. Concerns that should
be asked consist of,'Will
. this art work not only supply income to me, yet will certainly this project
ADVANCE
. my job as artist? THIS is not to be underestimated.o The artist will likewise demand
a
'pay or play' agreement. This indicates that whether
. guide is ever posted or not,
the artist WILL make money for their work.
. DURATION!
