How to Write Illustrator's Work Experience —— What has Illustrator Wu Yong experienced in recent years?

Share the experience of an interior designer who turned graphic design illustrator. I used to be an interior designer. For various reasons, it has been done for two or three years. . Most of them were transferred to state-owned enterprises for personal reasons. In the eyes of others, the iron rice bowl is only known to oneself. As long as you quit your job, you can go anywhere better than that outdated state-owned enterprise. As for why you didn't go to that state-owned enterprise in the first place, first of all, you didn't know until you went in. Secondly, there are some objective reasons. Anyway, you have been in state-owned enterprises for two or three years. In the days of state-owned enterprises, it is no fun to live the same life every day. But I have never let go of two hobbies, one is fitness and the other is painting. These two hobbies were developed from childhood. I like sports if I have nothing to do. Generally, I will give myself an hour to exercise after work, and then I will paint. At first, I didn't know there was an illustration industry, but I never thought about taking my hobby as a career. At first, I sketched at home every day. Although I paint every day, I am forced to paint for less than two hours every day at work. In this way, painting every day lasted for a year. . . After a year, I feel that I have really made great progress. By the way, although I graduated from fine arts, I really didn't practice painting well before. My foundation is very weak. Without this year's accumulation, I may not have reached the point of illustration. Then the sketch felt good, so I thought about learning colored lead, and then various groups, such as WeChat official accounts, inquired about what colored lead was easy to use and what paper was easy to use. Finally, I started a set of Hui Baijia and a set of thunderbolt horses, and experienced the practice of colored lead painting for half a year. To tell the truth, one year later, the lead painting is still not so good, but the color sense is much better. When my work is free, I will go back and see what happened in the official WeChat account. It is really a good thing to know about the illustration industry. I feel this industry is suitable for me! Then, I began to collect a lot of information on the internet, but all I know is a little fur, and I still can't understand what illustrations are and for whom. . At that time, I looked stupid. Then draw colored lead every day and search for illustrations online. I learned about the hand-drawn board (I thought it must be very expensive at that time). Then, as always, I don't know how to start, but I know that there seem to be two ways to draw illustrations, one is to draw on a board, and the other is to draw on paper and then scan it with a computer. Because I don't know the chessboard, I chose to draw on paper! I remember that I was an hour late for class that day, just because I had something to do. It was this hour that changed my life! Original link: Illustrator occupation overview 1. A man who is more interested in painting will liberate the traditional painting art from paper and pen, and achieve the best visual effect through a computer, a graphic tablet or an ipad. It has long been predicted that commercial illustrators will become a hot industry in 17 in the future, and they will become high-income people like stars, lawyers, software engineers and fashion designers. Looking at the present, all this is striding towards reality.

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".

Fortunately, there are winners and losers in everything. Winners are similar, but losers are different. The success of a painter can only be based on constant practice, and other skills are only used as auxiliary painting to achieve success. Painting is life-long. The first thing I wake up every day is to think about what to draw today and how to draw better. The last thing to do when sleeping every day is to think about what you drew today and what are the shortcomings. Painter, what is a painter? It's very simple, that is, people who regard painting as the third instinct besides eating and sleeping.

Three _ stand on the shoulders of others and let yourself see farther. In order to improve learning efficiency, avoid detours, and obtain rich video tutorials and related software materials, I made a large resource (skirt) for original illustration and board painting. Those who like this industry can enter the exchange. The first one is: 239, the middle is: 869, and the tail is: 377. Synthesize the above three groups of figures to form a complete answer. The future is learned, not waiting. Every industry has experts and slackers. The difference lies in whether you study hard and work hard. This is the difference between people. Don't trust yourself to fight alone. It is a wise choice to borrow the strength of others to make your progress faster.

4 _ enlarge the pattern circle to understand what the income of European and American illustration circles is like. 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. However, stones from other mountains can attack jade, so we should start with the European and American environment with more mature and standardized markets and guaranteed credit. In fact, the people's circle also has its own operating mode, such as charging by time instead of by piece.

(1) We all know that the minimum hourly wage of American imperialists is $7.25. 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. So we know that from floor to ceiling. 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.

(2) Of course, this is just an "overview of the industry". More specifically, for example, detailed, complicated and demanding propaganda illustrations 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. (Fool the customer and delay the submission for a few days)

(3) In fact, 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.

(4) As for freelance illustrators, they just wait for the job and do it when it comes. 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;

(5) 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 steadily. The game industry has always been one of the big consumers of illustrations. However, what about inexperienced newcomers? I'm sorry, no matter how beautiful it is. 50 thousand yuan a year is very important. What if you can slowly climb to the top of this pyramid? That's $500,000 a year.

(6) Early Japanese games often invited European and American artists to draw game illustrations, but soon trained an illustrator for Shine on You.

5 _ Alleviate homophonic [I hope the monks in this temple can recite the scriptures (1), anyway, that's it. What about the monks in this temple? Different from the European and American markets mentioned before, commercial illustration only started in China around 2000. As for the game industry in Chinese mainland at that time, it 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. There are thousands of roads and only one direction. 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. This craze has continued until now.

The key to the art of umbrella painting is to be too kitsch and undistorted between similarity and dissimilarity. Then what is art? The front art is concrete ability, and the back art is to turn ability into food. Painting can't be divorced from this reality, so the illustrator talks about money without hurting feelings.

(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 4 Km 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 is stable 8K!

(3) Monthly income 15000 or more: Can one third of income be used as social expenditure?

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 above 1.5W!

(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.

You must have:

1. Fixed working environment, computer or hand-drawn board and other devices that can draw illustrations.

2. Showed a certain number of successful works.

You must be familiar with the market situation of CG and commercial illustration. The most important thing is that you should know the mainstream illustration types and painting styles.

Seven users 1: The illustrator takes over the work piece by piece, and the unit price depends on your level. In fact, you should try to do this. The cover page is usually 1000 to 800, and the inside page is about 100-500.

Netizen 2: The painting is good, and the salary is naturally considerable. The price is negotiable, and each company offers different prices. It's best to become a contracted illustrator, and the price of painting seals will be higher, about 1000. Black and white pages range from a dozen pages to more than a hundred pages. . Freedom is freedom, and it is still very tiring to catch up with painting. Draw more if you want to earn more. This industry pays too much attention to painting, and how much money you earn depends entirely on whether you are excellent or not.

Netizen 3: Black and white is inserted between 20- 100, and the cover is between 120-600. The higher the price, the more difficult it is.

Earn more if you work hard, earn less if you don't work hard. Those who draw well earn more, and those who draw badly earn less.

Question 1: Illustrators' development prospects Illustrators will be among the best in the next 17 hot industries, and will become high-income groups like stars, lawyers, software engineers, fashion designers and other occupations. Commercial illustrator is a shortage of talents in computer design industry, and it is widely used, including game role setting, advertising packaging and poster design, cartoon mascot design, publication illustration and cover design, clothing design and so on. At present, there are many clearly classified institutions in teaching. For example, Wuhan Illustration School divides illustrations into Japanese and Korean cartoons (animated illustrations), children's illustrations, commercial picture books and original cartoons. Illustrators can set up original paintings, draw posters and compile books in game companies, animation companies and book companies, or set up their own studios. A small creative team composed of several illustrators will be more competitive than freelance illustrators. However, because there are many industries and uses involved in illustration and there are certain requirements for employees, the whole illustration industry is very short of talents at present. As for what kind of work you are engaged in, Wuhan illustrator suggests that you can choose one or two majors in combination with various conditions, such as the industry you are interested in, the current design ability and the existing conditions, and you can also prepare for the final choice for all skills and learning. Question 2: What does an illustrator do and what is his income?

In large and medium-sized foreign companies, senior original game designers can earn up to 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month, and ordinary artists can earn between 4,000 and 8,000 yuan. Question 3: Although I am not an illustrator in the process of becoming a professional illustrator, it is normal for others to say that it is strange. No one can draw well at once and accept this situation, otherwise they can't survive. It's up to you whether you listen or not, but if the boss asks you to change at work, you must change, otherwise it will ruin your future. On the way to becoming a professional illustrator? Me too. In short, you should keep drawing, looking at other people's paintings and studying. If possible, you'd better practice more places that you can't do at all. The mentality is to draw anyway! Don't give up painting just because you are tired or bored halfway! You can't draw at least once a week and once a day, so the more you draw, the more powerful you will be. In short, read more online textbooks. Question 4: What is the future employment direction of illustrators? A mature illustrator can choose horizontally among cartoonist, role designer, original painter, animator, game art designer or full-time illustrator, art creation and other positions. And you can devote yourself to the research of a single industry and become a leader in the industry. In addition to their own work, illustrators can earn high returns by outsourcing lucrative tasks.

What other questions about illustrator can enter the author's skirt? 129,108,783 illustrators will become one of the hot industries in 17 in the future. Question 5: What is the occupation of 8 18 illustrator? It's no use getting started. Question 6: Is it easy for an illustrator to find a job? What are the prospects? Not bad, but it is getting more and more rampant. There are also many masters. The price reduction is also quite serious. Question 7: What is the monthly salary of domestic illustrators? What about domestic illustrators? What about going abroad for development? The monthly salary of domestic illustrators is 3000- 10000. As long as you study hard, domestic illustrators are better. Going abroad depends on your own efforts. Some are well developed and some are not well developed. An illustrator is defined as a person who takes painting and illustration as his profession. His main work includes drawing illustrations and covers for books, magazines, newspapers, manuals, novels, textbooks and other publications, as well as drawing greeting cards, posters, advertisements, ink-jet paintings and humorous paintings. Divided into electronic illustration and pure hand-drawing. Illustrator is a general term: there are illustrators for the media publishing industry, children's illustrators and realistic illustrators for the advertising industry; Then there is the animation mascot designer; There is a great demand for game and film illustrators. Similar to the game industry, each film and television work will also have a lot of mirror drawing and scene design work, which undoubtedly has a great demand for illustrators in the game and film industry. Question 8: How to become a professional illustrator? The process of becoming a professional illustrator requires a professional certificate. Application conditions of illustrator (one of the following conditions must be met) 1. Engaged in professional illustration creation 1 year or above; 2. Publish and create more than 5 commercial illustrations; 3. Winning prizes in national painting competitions and exhibitions. Question 9: What kind of Internet visual designer is an illustrator's daily job? There are often some projects that need hand-drawn elements. 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. To put it bluntly, drawing and retouching are the same. If you are a person who simply wants to paint, it is recommended to switch back to your career in a short time. Painting until you are tired is not what you want, but it will destroy your will. If you are going in the direction of commercial illustration, doing design is conducive to cultivating your own business thinking and constantly challenging new business games. Stick to it and you will become a senior designer in this industry. This is also a way. Anyway, it depends on the lifestyle you choose Actually, it's quite stressful. It takes a long time to become an excellent freelance painter and senior designer. The former seems to have a more unstable rate of return, so amateur painting is also the choice of many people. Can't sleep at midnight. I really want to take a long vacation. Question 10: What kind of industry is an illustrator? The illustrator had a hard time at first, because he had to go through a process of adapting to the market. Painting is the expression of subjective thoughts, but commercial illustration is different. We should not only meet the requirements of customers, but also conform to the aesthetics of the public, and also reflect our own creativity. It can be said that we seek a balance between rationality and sensibility. Domestic illustrators generally have formal occupations, such as artistic director of advertising company, production designer of game company and American editor of publishing house. If you are interested, you can learn about CGWANG, the controversial illustrator Wu Yong. What has he experienced in recent years? We don't know what Wu Yong, an illustrator of the People's Education Edition textbook, has experienced in recent years. He is a very low-key person in life and has never been interviewed by any program. After the illustrations in the PEP textbook were exposed, many people discussed it hotly. At first, everyone was just dissatisfied with the illustrations in the textbook, and finally the information published on the Internet made people feel chilling. It seems that this is not an accident, but more like a conspiracy planned for many years. The purpose of the other party seems to be to disturb the children's three views and let them be influenced by this wrong concept and thought from an early age. People are more and more curious about this designer Wu Yong. He seems to have no representative works, but he became a "master" overnight.

After in-depth investigation, it is found that Wu Yong's experience and changes over the years are directly related to his teachers. Wu Yong's teacher is Lv Jingren, and Lu F, the cover designer of PEP textbook, is Lv Jingren's son. This may be the reason why Wu Yong can get the qualification of illustration in PEP textbooks. Wu Yong's studio doesn't exist at all, but he is qualified to stand for election.

We don't know what Wu Yong has experienced in recent years, but what he has done has had a great negative impact on children's correct concept. I also hope that the authorities can thoroughly investigate this matter, because Wu Yong is probably not an individual, but a group, which is really creepy.
