Clients will change their minds, I can sometimes accommodate changes (with limitations). Had a friend who had me illustrate the front porch of her home for Christmas. I even included their traditional Santa statue, that lights-up and talks. I emailed a proof to her and she did like the illustration, but it was not as she imagined. She preferred to have the entire home illustrated. This was at the peak of my busy time. Unfortunately I was not able to add the rest of the house to what I had done already, it was a complete redraw. She did have to wait another 2 weeks, as I had deadlines for other clients to accommodate. She was very understanding…thank-goodness!
The end result was exactly as she had wanted, but without the Santa, as he would be too small to see in that scale. She purchased 200 greeting cards to share with Family and Friends.
Proofs are a valuable tool so you can see what your illustration will be like before printing!
