An illustration app is a web or mobile application with two sets of users: illustrators and clients. Illustrators use the app to upload their portfolio, search for jobs, view job requests from clients, respond to job requests, submit drafts of their work, and review client feedback. Clients use the app to request art from illustrators in an affordable way that suits their budget. The app may also include a dashboard that enables administrators to analyze how well the platform is meeting client needs.

The illustration app type is a distant cousin of the photo & video editing app type. Illustration apps often feature creative brushes, filters, color palettes, texture options, and drawing tools. Popular illustration applications include Adobe Photoshop and Sketchbook Pro.

• The app is simple to build and allows you to create a "book" and share it with other users, as well as recording voiceovers for each of the pages.

An illustration app is a versatile tool that can be used by an audience ranging from children to professional artists. In order to grow an illustration app's user base, it should focus on developing strong content and educational materials that will help users create higher quality artwork.

An illustration app may face similar legal and reputational risks to a dating app. As an illustrator, you will want to include strong privacy controls and moderation tools in your app to prevent users from sharing inappropriate content or from being harassed by other users. It is recommended that you take a strong stance against harassment within your app. You should also take steps to ensure that users are not uploading copyrighted images or plagiarizing the work of others.
