What Does a Illustrator Do?
An illustrator produces custom visual art — for brand identities, product interfaces, editorial pieces, marketing and more. They bring a distinctive style and hand to work that stock imagery can't, whether digital or traditional media adapted for digital use.
Illustration is portfolio-driven and one of the most freelance- and remote-friendly creative fields. A cohesive, high-quality portfolio is everything.
