Additional fees will be charged for revisions made after approval to move to the final or revisions reflecting a new direction to the assignment.

Rates and Pricing
Please contact me directly via email at nakia@nakiapickering.com for a complimentary price quote for your project.
Standalone Illustration: Individual illustrations such as pet portraits, people portraits, etc. tend to be priced at a flat rate which can vary based on the complexity of the subject matter and the style you want me to illustrate in.
​
Editorial: Editorial work will be a flat rate, an hourly rate, or a day rate, depending on the project's scope.
​
Picture Book: If you want me to illustrate a book for you, please read through this blog post by illustrator Alana McCarthy for an idea of what I as an illustrator will need from you, and the average price range that illustrated books tend to fall into.
​
I am always happy to discuss pricing and budget once I have details of the project's scope, complexity, and timeline. If you have a specific budget you want to stay within, I am happy to work with you to find a middle ground where we don't break your budget but everyone's time and work are valued.
Please reach out to me via email at nakia@nakiapickering.com to discuss your project!
