Photoshop layers are assets that are not free, so minimize the number of layers you give your Client with the final art. Peg Gerrity always put the callouts on one layer and the base art below that as a flat background.
ALT Med Art Mentor Mondays: Blue text stating "should I send the client layers or flat files?"
The layers could be used and re-used over and over without your permission. The Client has no right to do this unless you relinquished these rights in your contract, however, art files often get stuck in a digital system within a corporation.
Revisions! Revisions! Revisions!
How to avoid the multiple revision vortex!

"Fees include one round of sketch revisions and all requested revisions must be sent to the Artist in writing via one correspondence.
It is the Client's responsibility to review work thoroughly and be liable for all accuracy of content.
Alterations beyond one round of revisions shall incur additional costs, and be billed at ____ per hour. Don’t let yourself get caught in the multiple revisions vortex! #medicalillustration #artmentor #illustrationmentor #HowIMedArt #MedArtMentor #MedArtMentorMondays
As we celebrate our nation’s history, we also celebrate the wonderful diversity in our population. Representation matters, so it’s important to avoid the ‘family trap’ that I was in during the early part of my career. #MedArtMentorMondays #commercialart #representationmatters
ALT Three pediatric annals covers by medical artist Peg Gerrity, showing how she initially used her children and family members as models for her early work.
Every person, regardless of race, gender, body type, etc deserves equitable health education materials, so it is important for medical illustrators to reflect such diversity in the figures they draw.
Representation matters, regardless of the type of illustration you do, so take a critical look at your portfolio or website and ask yourself ‘Is my work inclusive?’ See you next week! #medicalillustration #artmentor #illustrationmentor #HowIMedArt #MedArtMentor
Learn a New Technique! Medical Illustrators and other commercial artists often spend loads of time learning new techniques in #zbrush, #cinema4d, #photoshop, etc. However, it’s important not to neglect traditional techniques as well.
ALT Water color sketchbook of Peg Gerrity with yellow maple leaf, pink flowers, and Christmas pine trees.
It’s never too late for a commercial illustrator to learn a traditional technique, be it watercolors, oil painting, throwing pots, you name it! The value is tremendous. Just the act of creating in a new media can be a shot in the arm for your commercial art.
Callie turned me into a monster, as I now spend much of my free time playing with #watercolors and loving every minute of it! #medicalillustration #artmentor #illustrationmentor #HowIMedArt #MedArtMentor #MedArtMentorMondays #commercialart
