How do I find the right black and white illustrator for my project?

Explore our Black and White style gallery to find illustrators creating everything from scribbles and expressive marks to delicately pencil-shaded realism.

How much does black and white illustration cost?

There’s no set price. The cost will depend on how many images you need, the usage, the complexity of the work, the illustrator you choose and other factors including the deadline.

Why work with IllustrationX?

We give you access to the most talented black and white illustrators from all around the world, with our expert agents on hand to ensure your project is creative, effective and on time. See our About page for more.

How do I commission black and white illustration?

Our agents can help you select an illustrator and develop a brief covering the content of the images, when and how you’ll use them, how long you’ll use them for, and your deadline.

What makes a good black and white illustration?

Stripping colour out means other elements of the artist’s technique come to the fore. A good black and white illustration capitalises for a clear, impactful image.

Do you commission animation as well?

If so, we represent many outstandingly talented animators, creating gifs, explainers, characters, stop motion and motion graphics for TV, film, games and digital streaming in 2d and 3d.
