If you can't afford an illustrator, draw it yourself.
If you can afford an illustrator, rough out your idea and let the illustrator do it.
If you can't draw it and you can afford it, have the illustrator do it.
If you can't draw it and can't afford it, forget illustrations.

This is what we need to pin down. Michael, can you tell me which
illustrations should be done by a pro, and which don't have to be?
To paraphrase Bonni, we need to separate the fruit from the chaff. Or
something.
