Illustration Illustration agency in London, United Kingdom
A distinctive illustration style can carry a brand further than photography, especially online. We develop yours, draw the pieces you need and make it work in the Gulf too.
For London and UK brands, publishers, tech products and charities, and for UK companies that need artwork suited to Saudi and Gulf audiences.
Illustration that does not travel.
Many UK product and service brands use illustration on their website and in reports. When they expand into the Gulf, the same characters and scenes can feel out of place: clothing, settings and everyday details drawn for a UK audience do not reflect customers in Riyadh or Manama.
We draw a style for your brand and, when you need it, a Gulf version of your illustration set: characters, settings and Arabic lettering drawn by a team that knows the region. Same style, right audience, so the brand stays one brand in both markets.
Where UK brands use illustration

- Explainer animation
- Gulf market adaptations
What you get
You get a style chosen from samples, a brand illustration set, editorial and campaign pieces, icons, and layered files ready for web, print and animation.
Style Exploration
A few style samples drawn for your brand, with line, colour, texture and level of detail explained, so you choose a style rather than a single picture.
Brand Illustration Set
A set of illustrations that becomes part of your brand: people, places, products and moments your customers recognise, drawn the same way.
Campaign Illustrations
Key visuals for a campaign or season, sized for posts, outdoor, print and web from one master illustration.
Editorial & Explainer Art
Illustrations for articles, reports, lessons and explainers that make a complex idea clear at a glance.
Icons & Spot Illustrations
Icons and small spot illustrations for your website, app, menus and signage, drawn in the same style as the larger pieces.
Layered Source Files
Vector and layered files, organised and named, ready for your designers, printers or a motion team to animate.

How it works
Step 1: Brief
What the illustrations are for, where they will appear, who will see them and the styles you like or dislike.
Step 2: Style
Sample sketches in a few styles. You choose one, and it becomes the rule for everything that follows.
Step 3: Draw
Sketches first for each piece, then final artwork once you approve the composition.
Step 4: Hand over
Final files in every size and format in scope, with layered sources and a short style note for future work.

Questions
How much does commissioning an illustration agency cost in the UK?
It depends on scope: number of pieces, complexity, usage and whether a new style is developed. Send a short brief and we quote a fixed scope with usage terms stated.
Can you adapt our illustrations for Gulf markets?
Yes. We redraw characters, clothing and settings for Saudi or Bahraini audiences in the same style, and add Arabic lettering where needed.
Do you license or transfer the illustrations?
Either, depending on what you need. Ownership or usage rights are written into the proposal, so it is clear before work begins.
Can you work in our existing illustration style?
Often, yes. Send examples and we say honestly whether we can continue it convincingly.
Can the illustrations be animated?
Yes. Layered files are prepared for animation, and our motion graphics service can animate them.
How many revisions are included?
The proposal sets rounds at sketch and final stage. Composition is agreed at sketch stage.
Can you work remotely?
Yes. Briefing and reviews happen on video, with meetings in London when helpful.
How long does it take?
It depends on the number and complexity of pieces. The proposal gives dates for style, sketches and finals.
Tell us what you want illustrated.
A short brief is enough: the subject, the number of pieces, where they will appear and a few styles you like. We reply with questions and a fixed-scope quote.
