Workflow

A clear path from rough science to final files.

01

Brief

Manuscript, target use, deadline, draft figure and visual references are collected.

02

Map

We identify the scientific argument, hierarchy, actors, states and labels.

03

Compose

The first plate establishes scale, composition, color discipline and journal fit.

04

Refine

Author comments are resolved through structured revision rounds.

05

Deliver

Final packages include high-resolution, web and editable outputs where scoped.

Questions

What researchers ask before ordering.

How much does a scientific illustration cost?

Most static figures start from the ranges shown above. Final scope depends on complexity, source material, deadline, number of panels and whether editable source files are required.

Can you follow journal specifications?

Yes. Send the journal link or author guidelines and we will prepare sizing, resolution, format and safe-area constraints before final export.

Do you provide revisions?

Custom work is scoped with structured revision rounds. We separate scientific corrections from style refinements so author comments stay manageable.

Can I start with a template instead of custom work?

Yes. Free templates download immediately, and paid packs can be requested from the templates page while checkout is being connected.

Feedback

Designed around author review, not just decoration.

"The first draft made the mechanism easier to explain than our manuscript text."
Biomedical research group
"Clear hierarchy, clean labels and export files that worked across slides and submission."
Materials science team
"The workflow helped us turn a rough sketch into a figure the whole author team could review."
Environmental microbiology lab
