I like painting very much, so it will be a great sense of accomplishment to have the opportunity to paint. I didn't feel bad at first. After all, I took the designer's salary to satisfy my own selfish desires. After many projects are completed, it will be difficult to write, because designers are not pure illustrators, and the style requirements are different almost every time. This is very torturous. I used to think it was very fresh, and I need to constantly revise the manuscript. The content of the whole picture is beyond the designer's control.

Can't sleep at midnight. I really want to take a long vacation. Question 10: What kind of industry is an illustrator?

You go online to pull information everywhere? Do you think you can learn?

Are there any illustrations? Can you handle it yourself?

However, if you have a master to take you, do you have a feeling of hope in learning illustration? Yes, when we first learned illustration, the easiest thing to give us hope was an awesome teacher.

Of course, students may be worried about not finding a good teacher. The theory is like this, but the reality is very skinny. It doesn't matter. I'll introduce you to an online illustrator.

Three _ _ _ Tuodao is even more embarrassing.

Illustrator liberates the traditional painting art from paper and pen, and achieves the best visual effect through a computer, a graphic tablet or an ipad. The strong demand of advertising, media, film and television, animation games and other industries makes commercial illustrators a very scarce talent in the design industry. The market can be said to be in short supply, and wages are of course rising. It also makes commercial illustrator one of the most potential and "money" occupations in the future. Commercial illustrators are known as "golden rice bowls".

Four _ men are lucky, and so on.

Any occupation is to support the family by meeting a certain demand and then getting paid. The same is true of illustrators. Before learning to draw, it is best to start with the illustration industry and get to know the general situation of this circle. In this way, we should start from the European and American environment where the market is mature and standardized, and credit is guaranteed. In fact, the circle of people also has its own operating mode, such as not charging by the piece, but timing.

(1) The minimum hourly wage of American imperialists is $7.25 (for reference). In western society, high-paying jobs are nothing more than doctors, lawyers and corporate executives. The hourly wage of surgeons with knives is $ 175-285. What is the painter's income? The specific hourly wage ranges from $25 to 100. The average price of the whole illustration is about $65,438+000-500. Need a higher cover, the price will be more than 2000 dollars. More specifically, for example, detailed, complicated and demanding illustrations used for publicity may rise to several thousand dollars. In fact, it is already difficult to evaluate here. Different project requirements, different levels of artists, and different personal efficiency, but usually the faster you draw, the higher your income. For example, if people ask you to finish it in 10 day, you don't have to paint for 12 hours every day. In an environment where you are paid on time, you will definitely get more money.

(2) Illustrators don't have jobs every day, and the salary is not that simple. Strictly speaking, efficiency, level, style, education, etc. It's all useless The only standards in the industry are works and qualifications, especially the latter. What projects have you participated in? What did you show? What are the specific responsibilities? This is the key to determining income. In short, the "average annual salary" of game painters in Europe and America is around $50,000.

(3) As for freelance illustrators, they just wait for the job to come. I ask you to draw something, you dawdle for ten days to submit the manuscript, pass the acceptance, calculate the money and settle the bill, and the guest officer walks slowly. Freedom of working hours and attitude, such as bumper harvest in the first half of the year and laziness in the second half; For example, gay friends mixed a big job and then divided the rain and dew;

(4) Most painters started their careers from freelance illustration. Just waiting for work may not have so many lists. So it is better to enter the company. The game industry has always been one of the big consumers of illustrations.

On the basis of working for five nights, I am glad to see my body swelling.

(1) Unlike the aforementioned European and American markets, commercial illustration started in China around 2000, when the game industry in Chinese mainland was not an industry at all. There are American and Japanese game predators outside, and there are scattered CDs inside, so the situation will not be mentioned. People who can mix game illustration and conceptual design are rare.

(2) Around 2005, many commercial illustrations gradually matured. The wooden bridge of online games has made many painters find their goals. There are also some people who are connected to the European and American markets through the internet and can receive thousands of dollars of jobs. But most people don't know the market environment of others, and there are not a few foreigners who have been cheated. Only a few lucky people can really participate in the production process of European and American game manufacturers.

(3) Around 2065438+00, while online games, page games and social games flourished, smart phones also began to explode. Based on this platform, an unprecedented game market followed, and the domestic game market was instantly ignited. Smart phones and related applications have given birth to the demand for illustration art, which is the really fierce demand gap. Since then, full-time, part-time and freelance illustrators are willing to work hard, with tens of thousands of dollars a month.

Fourth, the income of illustrators.

(1) Monthly income of 4,000 yuan: Can you draw an excellent cover illustration every week?

If you can, you can try to find a magazine or weekly magazine with a cover of 1K or so. If four magazines sign contracts at the same time. After two months, your payment income will be stable at 4K per month.

(2) Monthly income of 8,000 yuan: Can you master a variety of mainstream painting styles and be familiar with comics, illustrations and advertising illustrations?

If possible, sign contracts with magazines and publications, and sign contracts with animation, games and advertising companies to do external illustrations. After two months, the income stabilized at 8 K.

(3) Monthly income 15000 yuan or more: can one third of the income be used as social expenses?

If you can, you can contact the heads of TV stations, film and television companies, film crews and event planning companies to establish cooperative relations and promise business commissions. After half a year, the income will be stable above1.5w.

(4) Monthly income of more than 20,000 yuan: Can you run a large-scale project and pay the start-up fee in advance?

If you can, you can find a planning project or company to cooperate with. Active income is high, but it is also risky. However, it is easy to earn more than 2W a month.

Can I be an illustrator all my life?
