Which techniques does JNArt use?
JNArt can create illustrations in classic techniques such as pencil, marker, charcoal and watercolour.
However, it is mainly digital techniques or a mix of digital and classical techniques that are used in illustration assignments because it is easier to adjust images to the client's needs. This can include vectorised images, digital painting and photo manipulation.

Copyright + Usage
JNArt creates and adjusts some form of written agreement before a co-operation. This is to ensure that both parties feel secure.
Issues addressed in the agreement:
- Free purchase of images or free use for a period of time. The framework for the use of the image.
- Reimbursement
- Sketches / corrections
- Format of the final product
- What the client agrees to deliver before the assignment in terms of necessary information and materials for the project.
- What happens if the agreed materials are not delivered or the purchase is cancelled. How conflicts are resolved.
Copyright in brief
It's a given that respect will be shown for the author of the artistic and illustrative works, known as copyright. Always ask before using an image. The author has the rights to use the work and the reproduction of the work, unless otherwise agreed upon.
Usage rights
The usage rights are the rights to use a work in a specific context for a specific period of time. The illustrator can never lose his copyright, since it is the illustrator who created the image. However, in some circumstances, a customer can buy the rights to make an image free to use. To change images that have been created, authorisation is needed from the author. In editorial and informational contexts, the illustrator must be named in connection to the image. In an advertising context, the name SHOULD be displayed.
