Cartoonist, Illustrator & Character Designer

I offer three closely related creative services — Cartooning, Illustration, and Character Design. While they overlap in places, each one serves a different purpose depending on what you’re trying to achieve.

This page will help you understand the difference and guide you to the service that’s right for your project.

Which Service Do You Need?

Cartoonist

Best if you want something that’s:

  • Fun, humorous, or personality-led

  • Designed to entertain, comment, or make people smile

  • Built around a single idea, message, or visual punch

Cartoons are ideal for:

  • One-off illustrations

  • Caricatures and personal commissions

  • Editorial or conceptual visuals

  • Light-hearted brand content

  • Marketing that needs warmth or humour

Illustrator

Best if you need visuals that:

  • Support written content or explain ideas

  • Fit cleanly into print or digital layouts

  • Strengthen branding without overpowering it

Illustration is ideal for:

  • Websites and landing pages

  • Blogs, articles, and editorial content

  • Marketing and promotional materials

  • Books, guides, and publications

  • Explainer visuals and concept artwork

Character Design

Best if your project needs:

  • A recognisable character or mascot

  • Consistency across multiple uses

  • Personality that can grow over time

Character design is ideal for:

  • Brand mascots and brand characters

  • Storytelling and narrative projects

  • Marketing campaigns and social media

  • Explainer content and educational projects

  • Products, packaging, and merchandise

If you’re somewhere in between, that’s completely normal — many projects combine elements of more than one service.

How I Help Across All Services

No matter which service you choose, you’ll get:

  • Fully bespoke artwork — never stock or generic

  • A clear, collaborative process

  • Artwork designed for real-world use

  • Friendly communication and honest pricing

  • Experience across commercial and personal projects

If your project overlaps categories, I’ll help shape the right approach rather than force it into a box.

Not Sure Which One Fits?

If you’re unsure whether you need a cartoon, illustration, or character design — don’t worry. A quick chat is usually enough to figure it out.
