Commissions
(9/1/2026) I'm currently open to new commissions, but am working through some other projects at the moment, so there may be a bit of wait. But please do reach out andrew@jonadrew.com
The Process
I'm always happy and excited to work with new clients. Even though every project is different, here's a guideline on what the process generally looks like and what to expect.
Discovery
I want to learn about your project! Tell me about what excites you, and talk about what you're imagining. Any images, references or written material would be especially helpful.
This is also where I'll give you a project time estimate and lock in pricing.
Agreement
To make sure we're on the same page, I use a standard artist contract. Most notably:
- A 50% deposit is due before work begins; the rest is due before final files are released.
- The deposit is non-refundable if you cancel. But if I am the one canceling, you're refunded in full within 14 days.
- Once paid in full, you're free to use the final artwork for all personal and commercial purposes worldwide (full details in contract).
Once the contract is signed and the deposit received, we're officially working together!
Sketch + Rendering
I'll share a rough sketch to nail down composition and layout, and we can do a round of revisions to make sure it's what you're envisioning. This is the best stage for big changes.
After the sketches are approved, I move on to render and finish the piece. I generally check in at least once a week to share the progress.
Revisions
Once I feel like the piece is in a good place, I want to check in with you before calling it done. We can do up to 2 rounds of small revisions to make sure it's aligned with your vision (full details in contract).
Final Delivery
Once it looks good to you, I'll collect the remaining balance and send high-res final files. And that's it!
FAQ
How much do commissions cost?▾
Every project is a little different, so final pricing depends on complexity, size, and usage rights. But generally, character/spot illustrations start at $80, and full illustrations and book covers start at $600.
