Free Illustrator Quote Template
Illustrators quote because commercial licensing terms differ by usage, and pricing a children's book spread without agreeing on print run or territory upfront creates problems at invoice time. A quote fixes the usage rights, format, and revision count before a single line is drawn.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an illustrator charge for a book illustration?
Children's book illustrators typically charge €200 to €800 per spread for small publishers, rising to €1,500 to €3,000 for larger print runs or international rights. Editorial illustration for magazines runs €200 to €600 for a full-page piece. Always specify whether the fee covers one-time use or full buyout.
What should an illustration quote include?
List each piece separately with dimensions, colour mode (CMYK or RGB), file format, and the usage rights granted. State the number of revision rounds, the delivery timeline, and what format the final files arrive in. If the client wants layered source files, charge separately.
Do illustrators charge for concepts before the quote is accepted?
Most illustrators do not send rough concepts before a quote is agreed. If a client asks for speculative work before committing, you can offer a paid concept phase at €150 to €300. That fee is often credited toward the full project price if they proceed.
