Technical Illustration Pricing & Styles
The examples below show a range of technical illustration style options and the approximate cost of each option. The "base price" for the simplist illustration style is a relative starting point. Assuming that the illustration (base price) is $ 1,000.00, for the first example "Flat, Plan, or Elevation Section View - Line Art". The price for the second illustration example "Section View - Line and Tone" would be $ 1,500.00 or (base price x 1.5).
Flat, Plan, or Elevation Section View - Line Art
(This is the least complex style of illustration.)
Pricing: Base Price
Section View - Line and Tone
Pricing: Base Price x 1.5
Section View - Fully Rendered
Pricing: Base Price x 2
3/4 Perspective View - Line Art
Pricing: Base Price x 2
3/4 Perspective View - Line and Tone
Pricing: Base Price x 2.5
3/4 Perspective View - Continuous Tone or Fully Rendered
(This is the most complex style of illustration.)
Pricing: Base Price x 3
Cutaway (left) vs. "Ghosted" or "Phantom View" (right)
A Ghosted illustration would be slightly more expensive than a Cutaway Illustration. Ghosting an object requires completion of the entire outside AND inside of the subject before the fading or "ghosting" process takes place. The decision to ghost or cutaway a subject is mostly a stylistic one. Although more internal information may be visible in a cutaway version, a ghosted illustration will favor the exterior of the subject which may contain important components, body features, logos, etc.
The following four diagrams show the various types of 3/4 view illustrations.
3/4 Perspective View
(This type of illustration looks more "natural" than an Axonometric View.)
Axonometric Views
(These illustration types are more appropriate for diagrams and manuals.)
