Learning illustration of a child exploring outdoors

E-learning illustration

Course artwork gets consumed at speed on screens of every size. It has to read instantly, survive being scaled into a mobile layout, and stay consistent across modules that may be built months apart by different people.

What this service covers

We produce illustration for e-learning platforms, corporate training, higher education and edtech products: character sets, scenario artwork, diagrams, icons and interface illustration.

Most of this work is really library building. A well-planned set of characters, backgrounds and poses lets your instructional designers assemble new modules without commissioning fresh artwork every time.

Included in every project

Anything outside this list is quoted separately rather than assumed.

Character libraries

Diverse casts with pose and expression variations for reuse across modules.

Scenario artwork

Workplace and situational scenes that carry branching or case-study content.

Concept diagrams

Processes, models and frameworks drawn for on-screen reading.

Icon sets

Consistent icon families for navigation, categories and interface states.

Interface illustration

Empty states, headers and module artwork for the platform itself.

Asset documentation

A short usage guide so your team applies the library correctly.

Why clients commission this work

Built for reuse

Modules six and seven cost far less than module one.

Legible on small screens

Artwork tested at mobile size, not only on a designer's monitor.

Considered representation

Diverse casts designed deliberately rather than as a late correction.

Platform-ready formats

SVG and PNG sets sized for the authoring tool you actually use.

From brief to final files

Each stage has a clear approval point, so nothing large gets built on an assumption.

  1. Curriculum review

    We look at the modules and work out which assets recur and are worth building once.

  2. Style and cast design

    Illustration style and character set approved as the foundation.

  3. Library production

    Assets produced in batches, named and organised for retrieval.

  4. Handover

    Files delivered in SVG and PNG with a usage guide for your designers.

Before you brief us

Anything not answered here, ask directly and you will get a straight answer.

Ask a question

Most take SVG and PNG. Tell us whether you are on Articulate, Captivate, Rise or a custom LMS and files will be sized and exported accordingly.

Yes. Send the guidelines and the illustration style is built inside your palette and visual language, rather than fighting it.

Deliberately, at the design stage. We propose a cast with a range of ages, body types, abilities and ethnicities, and adjust to the audience you are actually teaching.

Yes. Assets can be supplied as separated layers ready for rigging, though we do not produce the animation itself.
