Questions
What’s in the starter kit?
The Freelance Illustrator Business Starter Kit is a one-time $29 package: the project pricing calculator, standard client contract template, commercial revision policy checklist, and client onboarding intake form.
Are these lawyer-reviewed contracts?
No. Every template is a founding-member starter draft for you to customize. They are not legal advice and are not attorney-reviewed. Have a lawyer in your jurisdiction look at anything you send a client.
What files do I get after checkout?
Access is instant. Open your Elka Studio membership and download from the Files space for what you bought. The contract is PDF and DOCX. The rest are editable templates you copy into the next commission.
Can I buy one tool instead of the kit?
Yes. The calculator is $12, the contract is $15, and the revision checklist and intake form are $9 each. The kit is $29 for all four.
Who is this for?
Freelance illustrators who quote commercial work, send invoices without a contract, or lose hours to unlimited revisions. It is not a full legal service or tax software.
Can I reuse the templates with every client?
Yes. Buy once and customize for each commission. They are for your own freelance practice, not for resale as a template pack.
What is the freelance illustrator community?
A free chat and forum for illustrators talking about pricing, contracts, revisions, and onboarding. Peer discussion, not legal advice.
