Steps to Commissioning Work

The more information you can provide the better! We can discuss your project and agree a plan of action. I will then submit an accurate quote and timescale for producing the work. 

Steps in Producing the Work

Draft sketches are submitted for your feedback and any changes you wish to make. A revised detailed version is submitted for approval before producing the final colour version, as shown in this Lanes Group example:

DRAFT SKETCH

FINAL VERSION

Example of a draft pencil sketch produced by Nigel Spaven of Spaven Safety of the Ambient Cure procedure
This is an illustration created by artist Nigel Spaven of Spaven Art Ltd, commissioned by Lanes Group, entitled "Ambient Cure Procedure". The  illustration depicts three company operatives performing tasks using equipment on a driveway. The operatives are lining a damaged underground utility pipe. All operatives are wearing correct PPE and the area is cordoned off with safety cones and bunting. There is a company van parked on the main road with traffic management cones and signage.

The final high resolution artwork is provided in a format to suit your needs, whether for quality print or web and device use. 

Additional Benefits

  • All components of an illustration (operatives, equipment, plant, etc) can be isolated and supplied as stand-alone images for use in other communications related to your campaign. 

  • Illustration is ideal for getting a message across instantly and is extremely valuable in the field, with visual reference to correct site set-up and safe operational standards and procedures.

  • A design service is available, with professional layout of visuals and text following your company branding standards including logo, specific fonts and RGB/pantone colours for web or print. In other words... all bases are covered!

~ Testimonials ~

"For over 12 years Nigel has produced quality and innovative work including storyboards for use as individual stills and for incorporating into video animations. His ability to bring to life my simple 'stick-like' sketches and even bringing a few lines of text into pictorial life has always been nothing short of amazing. Keep up the great work."

"I first met Nigel some 20 years ago and I have used his services ever since for all my graphic art. He is a ‘natural’. As well as being a talented and excellent illustrator and cartoonist, he is also a great concept man. He accurately interprets what’s in my head bringing it vibrantly to life. Nigel has the patience of a saint and is a joy to work with."
