Finding a Freelance Illustrator
No media content production agency can operate without an illustrator. Businesses from outside of content production and even individuals may need a freelance illustrator on demand. Either way, finding an illustrator with decent skills to match your requirements perfectly may be problematic. The classic method of searching through job boards barely works as illustrators tend to gather in different online spaces. In this article, let’s explore alternative tools to find a good and responsible illustrator, without limiting yourself to one country.
Design Job Boards
The name refers to the popular 99designs and IllustrationsX. Essentially, these are online platforms where illustrators post their resumes, and employers post job openings and projects. It's a convenient search method, but it doesn't allow for a fully-fledged collaboration, as all the websites do is connect clients and freelancers rather than providing a suite for project work.
Freelancing Platforms
Here, clients can find a verified freelance illustrator from anywhere in the world. The functionality often goes beyond listing resumes or publishing job offers, but also allows to organize the entire workflow from communicating to transferring money to generating closing documents. For example, the freelancing platform EasyBusy operates on this principle. Freelancers and customers choose EasyBusy for its reliability, security, and ease of use.
Media Platforms
These include online resources where you can find illustrators and other performers based on their portfolio. A freelancer creates a profile and uploads their work. Employers and recruiters browse candidate profiles and select suitable ones or post orders and wait for responses. Behance and Dribble are the most popular media platforms among illustrators.
Social Networks
You can find a freelance illustrator on social media through communities on LinkedIn and Facebook. Online communities are just as valuable for offline meetups, so it is very rare that a freelancer doesn’t follow a professional Linkedin or Facebook group. For example, on Facebook, you can search for a performer in communities like:
- Illustrator Love;
- Adobe Illustrator Tips, Tricks and Tutorials;
- Photoshop Users Group.
Stock Photo and Illustration Websites
Footage stocks are where freelance illustrators upload their work for display to potential clients and for sale. Clients can buy ready-made illustrations or invite a performer to collaborate if they like their content. Illustrators upload content to resources like Shutterstock, Creativemarket, and 123rf.com.
