Doug is now my go-to technical illustrator, and his work is exceptional. He creates clear, professional diagrams that explain complex issues in simple, straightforward graphical forms. What sets Doug apart: – Keen attention to detail, especially in conceptual diagrams; Quick turnaround without sacrificing quality; Excellent communication and responsiveness to feedback; Consistent style across all deliverables; Strong understanding of technical concepts, which means less back-and-forth; His excellent “illustration process” gets good results quickly. Doug strikes the perfect balance between technical accuracy and visual clarity. It is worth every dollar for anyone needing technical illustrations to communicate complex information. I highly recommend Dougillustration!

FAQs

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me below.

Can you produce small one-off illustrations or do you only take on big projects?

I work with large and small businesses and am happy to quote on any sized project.

Do I need to pay a deposit?

Yes. I require 30% deposit before commencement. Once the project is completed and approved by you I will send you a final invoice. The final illustrations will be watermarked, but once payment is received I will release the final files. If you become an ongoing regular client, a deposit won’t be required for every project.

How many changes can I request to the artwork?

When I quote on a project I stipulate how many changes are included in the quote. It is usually three sets of reasonable changes. I do understand though that sometimes projects can take a different direction and I am happy to revisit the original quote if this occurs.

Will I get an idea of what it will look like before you do the bulk of the work?

Yes. Depending on the size of the project I will provide you with either a small snapshot of the illustration and confirm you are happy before proceeding or show you an existing illustration that will be a similar style. I always ensure you are happy with the direction of the illustration before proceeding to protect my time and your money.

Do you use specialists?

Sometimes I need to bring in reinforcements who are specialists in certain illustration styles and techniques. However this is often only a part of the illustration project. Clients will always only work with me directly.

Can I buy your illustrations?

Yes, I produce Illustrations for the Adobe Stock Library, CLICK HERE to view my work for download.

Can you work with clients out of state or outside of Australia?

Absolutely. I work very efficiently with clients across Australia and internationally and have never found location to be a barrier. I do like to speak over the phone though and find this helps us to understand exactly what the client needs. If the project requires a face-to-face or site visit, this can be negotiated. However please note, I am English speaking only.

What forms of payment can you receive?

I can accept payments via direct bank deposit or PayPal. Details will be on the quote and invoice.
