Illustrator invoice template and a free website

Commissions arrive from all sorts of places: a stranger on Instagram, an author who needs a cover, a studio after a character sheet. Each one needs a clear price before you start drawing. goud.work gives you a quote and invoice on your phone, and a free page where your art can be seen and asked about.

What goes on a illustrator invoice

Quote a commission or a book cover as one price, and animation by the day when the job runs longer. Character design has its own line, and so does Licence to use, for when a client will print or publish the work. Illustration covers everything else. After a few jobs, Easy Invoice offers your own lines back with the prices you used last, so a regular kind of commission takes seconds to quote and the invoice follows in one tap.

Lines illustrators use most

In Easy Invoice these are a tap each, and after a few invoices your own lines come first, with the last price you charged.

Your own page, free

This page is mostly gallery, and that is right: people commission an artist because of what they have already seen. Add your services with prices or Ask, a few reviews from past clients, and links to Instagram or TikTok where you share work in progress. A notice banner can say commissions are open or closed. Book lets people send an enquiry, and you decide which ones to accept.

Questions illustrators ask

How do I invoice for an art commission?

Once the client agrees the price, send an invoice with a line for the commission, a short description of the piece, and any extras such as a licence to use it. Add the due date and your bank details. Many artists ask for part of the price upfront, and you can send that as a separate invoice before you start.

Should I charge extra for commercial use of my illustration?

Many illustrators price personal use and commercial use differently, because a picture on a product or a book cover earns the client money. If you do, put it on its own line, such as Licence to use, and say in words what the client may do with the work. If the terms are complicated, get advice before you agree them.

How do I price an animation job?

Animation takes time that is hard to see from the outside, so a day rate is often clearer than a single price. Estimate the days, put them on the quote as Animation, and add fixed lines for character design or anything else agreed. If the client changes the brief, a new quote shows them what the change costs.
