Are you a comic book fan that has some fantastic ideas for a new comic book? Maybe you\u2019re a pro at storytelling and already have a compelling outline for a great story; you might even have a fully fleshed-out manuscript ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only problem\u2013you aren\u2019t an artist, and anything beyond a coloring book is outside of your skill level. It\u2019s time to hire a comic book artist<\/a> to bring your visions to life, but how much is this going to cost you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips for Finding a Good Artist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ask any friend who\u2019s ever gotten a great tattoo and they can tell you that finding a good artist isn\u2019t easy. Before they chose the artist for their favorite piece, they most likely spoke with at least ten different professionals across various shops to find the exact artist that was right for them. How you find a comic book artist<\/a> isn\u2019t much different\u2014it\u2019s all about talking to lots of artists.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The great thing is, once you find an artist you click with, you have someone to go to for future projects. Here are some tips to find that perfect artist:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find a Passionate Artist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The key to finding a passionate artist that\u2019s right for you is finding someone whose passion matches yours. This shared vision is important, both in terms of style and how they view the world you\u2019ve decided to create with your comic book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you have an artist that is fully on board with your vision of how things should be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be Clear About Your Vision<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Be transparent with your artist. Clearly explain what you are looking for, and be as detailed as possible. Set the mood you want your comic book to display. If the artist specializes in lighthearted and upbeat art, a serious noir comic might not go over very well if you don\u2019t communicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure and ask the artist for feedback as well, not only to get their ideas but to make sure they fully understand what you want to create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen to Your Artist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While you may find that your artist\u2019s ideas for how something should look may be slightly different from yours, they\u2019re an expert. They understand how different types of ink will look on different types of paper and, if the artist works digitally, they\u2019ll understand the limitations of their software and skills. They will know best how to forge a successful path forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your artist has a suggestion that you disagree with, discuss your concerns while allowing them to expand on the idea so that you fully understand their intentions. Communication is key to a great collaboration with a skilled artist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examine Their Portfolio<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This should go without saying, but it\u2019s essential that you examine an artist\u2019s body of work before deciding to work with them. Every artist\u2019s style is different, and you want to make sure the artist\u2019s style matches what you are trying to create with your comic book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Much Do They Charge?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

How much an artist charges depends on a variety of factors, including the size of the piece being drawn. A comic book page-sized piece of paper is thankfully a very clear and well-known size for drawing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next factor is going to be the level of detail. A comic book page of line-drawn characters is going to be far cheaper than a highly detailed page filled with multiple colors and elaborate backgrounds. This is why the price per page isn\u2019t a set price\u2014the level of detail could be the difference between a job taking one hour or fifteen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most artists charge by the piece or by the hour. Even if an artist charges by the piece, the price will change depending on the number of hours they think it will take them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last thing that will influence the price is the reputation of the artist. Many people are capable of reproducing Banksy\u2019s work, but none of them have his reputation. The bigger the reputation, the higher the cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
