Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 9:55 pm

Aspiring Illustrators often wonder how much they could potentially make working on UpWork. After all, the site does take a 20% cut of every project’s earnings. So, how much do Illustrators make on UpWork?

PRO TIP: This post is outdated and no longer accurate. The information in this post is no longer relevant to the current Upwork platform.

Well, it depends. Some Illustrators only make a few hundred dollars per project, while others make several thousand. It all depends on the scope of the project, the client’s budget, and the Illustrator’s experience and skill level.

So, if you’re an aspiring Illustrator, don’t get discouraged if you don’t immediately start making thousands of dollars per project. It takes time to build up a good reputation and a strong portfolio on UpWork. But if you’re patient and put in the work, you can definitely make a good living as an Illustrator on UpWork.
