hi all, I’m new here, and back into illustrating professionally after many years out. I don’t have a clue where to start with charging these days. I illustrate children’s picture books, stationery ranges, cards and clothing. Currently, I am creating dog characters to go onto stationery. My Client wants up to about 5 dog characters, vector graphics, very simplistic in style. How much would you recommend I charge? She is hoping to make a whole business out of my designs on stationery, tea towels and mugs, etc. I have also been asked to illustrate a children’s picture book for a self publisher. Again, this Client is hoping to create merchandising using the character as well as the illustrations. Where do I start? If anyone can help, I would be very appreciative. thank you very much, Kind regards, Sarah
