Obtaining the services of a good medical illustrator is similar to finding a good designer, the main difference is that there are far fewer medical illustrators from which to choose. Whether you need illustrations for a medical journal, physician or pharmaceutical marketing, or to demonstrate a surgical technique—this guide will help you perform a good search.
Step 1. Before you begin your search, do some simple preparation.
How many images do you expect for your project? Do you need color or black and white? Do you have a style in mind? Can you provide source material other than a hand-drawn sketch? Do you know the dimensions of the final artwork? What’s your deadline?
Step 2. When you begin your search via search engines, you can use general keywords, such as “medical illustration” or “freelance medical illustration” Or you can narrow it down, such as “medical journal illustrator,” “medical illustration studio,” “medical illustration for advertising.” You can also narrow your search by geography, such as “Boston medical illustration” or “North Carolina medical illustration.”
Step 3. It’s best to become familiar with your deciding factors and then casually rank them in order of importance. But the most important factor has to be the work. You’ll want to review the medical illustrator’s portfolio. Does the work look at all like what you need, if not by exact subject matter then by style? How much experience does the medical illustrator have? Do they list any clients or recent projects?
Step 4. Make contact via phone or email and plainly discuss your needs as outlined in Step 1. You will need to get an estimate and find out if the fees are hourly rates or if there is a flat fee option. If appropriate, you may also need to ask about copyrights. Evaluate how easy it was to communicate with the studio or individual illustrator—did they seem responsive to your needs and easy to have an exchange?
Step 5. Once you’ve made your choice, make sure all the terms are understood. You don’t want “business” to get in the way of the creative process. If you have a large project, the medical illustrator may require a contract. For smaller projects, they may ask for a simple email exchange to confirm your understanding of the fees and timeline.
Now you are ready to give the medical illustrator all the materials they will need to get going on your project.

El Caminito del Rey (English: The King’s little pathway) is a walkway or via ferrata, now fallen into disrepair, pinned along the steep walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, near Álora in the district of Málaga, Spain. The name is often shortened to Camino del Rey. In 1901 it became obvious that workers at the hydroelectric power plants at Chorro Falls and Gaitanejo Falls needed a walkway to cross between the falls, to provide for transport of materials, and for the inspection and maintenance of the channel. Construction of the walkway took four years and it was finished in 1905.
