This Contract Template is perfect for artists who have been hired to create an original artwork.This contract has been drafted with your best interests in mind to protect you as an illustrator. It’s an in-depth contract created to protect your time, ideas, and money from those clients who will take all that they can get and more.
We’ve got you covered
In addition to the basic terms, conditions, fees, and payment clauses, the contract covers:
GET PAID FOR EVERY REVISION
Most headaches start when a client isn't clear about what they want, sometimes resulting in dozens of revisions on your part. Prevent hours of unpaid revisions and clearly establish the prices of your services and firm boundaries. Our Graphic Design proposal template makes it easy to set a limit and get paid for additional revisions.
MONEY UP FRONT
You shouldn’t commit your valuable time to a project before your client commits financially.
NO MORE WAITING FOR YOUR FINAL PAYMENT
Illustrators may often be expected by the client to hurry up and finish a project. However, when it comes time for final payment, they’re not in a hurry anymore. This Artist contract template will probably put a stop to that by firmly stating your additional fees for late payments.
DON’T GIVE YOUR RIGHTS AWAY
Just because someone pays you for an illustration doesn’t mean they can use it however they want. Our contract template helps you keep your rights and determine how a client can use your illustration.
PROTECT YOUR IDEAS
You submit a sketch proposal for a project only to have the client go with another artist. Later you discover the final project looks just like your sketch. Your idea is your intellectual property. Just because they paid you to pitch an idea doesn’t mean they own your idea.
KILL FEE
Just as deposits help protect you from doing a lot of work and not getting paid for it, a kill fee serves a similar purpose. The kill fee insures you are paid for all the work you have done up to the time the client notifies you they are not going to continue.
GET THE CREDIT YOU DESERVE
Getting credit for your work is often overlooked in contracts for illustrators. This contract ensures you get credit so future clients can find you.
… and more!

Testimonials
Before I started using The Freelance Illustration Contract by Contract Mint I thought because someone hired you to create an illustration, they owned all the rights to it. Wrong! This contract makes me feel like I have a ninja on my side, I’m always protected.
