Is it easy for illustrators to take orders? -If I become a freelance illustrator, how can I take orders?

Is it good to study illustration and get a job? The employment prospect of illustration is still a good career. With the development of modern science and technology and modern tools, the prospect of illustration major in art colleges has begun to become broad. The traditional graphic design method using image processing and text arrangement is not enough to attract customers' attention. In contrast, the free elements, passionate creativity, dazzling and fashionable colors and expressions contained in illustrations can infect people's emotions, and make people gain visual pleasure and insight into life while obtaining commodity information. Illustrators can control their own time according to their needs, and sleep until they wake up naturally or burn the midnight oil with passion; Illustrators can have time to attend some high-level parties, watch outstanding contemporary works and exchange experiences with celebrities in the industry. Illustrators can also pack their bags and stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city. At the same time, they can use laptops and wireless networks to keep close contact with the outside world, stay in some scenic places for half a month, let their bodies and minds reach their best, and complete wonderful ideas through mobile office. Once commercial illustration was born, it was quickly released to the public with the help of various advertising media, and went to the public in a short time. Thousands of people's attention and dazzling images will form a visual trend, lead the fashion and bring economic benefits to illustrators. This sense of accomplishment and the happiness in it are difficult for ordinary people to understand. Compared with the traditional art form, commercial illustration is closer to the audience and life. Now many industries and fields show a strong desire for CG illustration technology, such as comics, film and television animation, original game paintings, picture book novels, publication illustrations, cartoon modeling design, advertising illustrations, education, network and so on. The market demand continues to be strong, and the salary of talents naturally rises. As a result, various types of illustrators, such as animators and original game painters, were born, collectively known as illustrators. Illustration has a good employment prospect. The development of the original game painting is not long, and it has already formed a market scale abroad. However, the game industry in China is still in its infancy, but the development speed of the domestic game industry is amazing. However, with the rapid development of the game industry, the talent demand of original game painters has doubled. But unfortunately, the number and quality of students in illustration training schools are always in short supply, which leads to the original painting industry spending a lot of money for a talent. The original painting talents are not only well-paid, but many famous game companies have expressed their preference for talents who have participated in the vocational training of the original painting, which invisibly promotes the original painting talents who have been trained in the original painting to a higher level, and the future is limitless. The employment of illustration industry can be summarized as three major employment advantages: First, the employment competition is small. According to the data of a well-known recruitment website, among the 6,543,800,000 domestic painting practitioners, there are no more than 500,000 people who can really serve as original game painters, children's illustrators and animation painters, and the talent gap reaches 200,000, which is expanding year by year; Second, a high salary is a must. Generally, the industry related to painting, after running in with the grassroots of enterprises, will generally earn more than 50 thousand a year; Third, there is a lack of professional illustrators, especially original game painters and children's illustrators. More illustrators have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and the demand for illustrators has increased again and again, but none is available. However, how to make many new illustrators familiar with this industry and really get rich returns? Let's look at the following four stages: (1) Survival stage: Can you draw an excellent cover illustration every week? If possible, try to find a magazine or weekly, and draw from the cover. If you can sign the contract, after two months, your payment income will stabilize at a basic figure. (2) Initial growth stage: Can you master a variety of mainstream painting styles and be familiar with the illustration market of comics, illustrations, advertisements and other industries? If possible, draw publications and contact with advertising companies, animation companies and game companies. After two or three months, your income is expected to increase by 50%- 100% compared with the previous stage. (3) Moisturizing the well-off stage: Can one third of income be used as social expenditure? If possible, contact the heads of TV stations, film and television post-production companies, film crews and event planning companies, establish good cooperative relations, and promise to give them business commissions. After half a year, your income is estimated to exceed the sum of the previous two stages. (d) Free Stage: Can you run a large-scale project and pay the start-up fee in advance? If the answer is yes, then find a project or plan a project to cooperate with the company. Active creation is more profitable than passive order taking, but it also has risks. Of course, the monthly income will also rise to another height. When implementing the first and second articles, you must have: a fixed working environment, computer or handwriting board and other equipment, and a certain number of successful works for display. Of course, you must be familiar with the market situation of CG and commercial illustration, and the professional situation of animation, comics, original game paintings, art design, picture book novels and other industries. The most important thing is that you should understand the mainstream illustration types and painting styles, which is the key to your work being adopted and avoiding detours. When implementing Articles 3 and 4, you must (probably already) own: a private car, several VIP cards of member clubs, the signing right of 1-2 entertainment center, the cash control right and, of course, the fame of famous artists. If you become a freelance illustrator, how to take orders? First of all, we need to always pay attention to the dynamics of this industry and pay attention to some outsourcing and project undertaking platforms, so as to know what projects are suitable for us, send our works and resumes to Party A's company and wait for the company's reply.

Secondly, through the introduction of friends or companies that have cooperated, if there are projects that suit you, you will also introduce them to yourself. Here, we should remind freelance illustrators that one problem is our connection. When it comes to freelance illustrators, many people think that there is no need to socialize. Actually, they didn't. Freelance illustrators also need to maintain their interpersonal relationships. Many projects may be introduced by friends. In terms of how to maintain interpersonal relationships, illustrators need to communicate with other illustrators on social platforms, such as actively hooking up with other illustrators on Weibo and forwarding them to Weibo, which will gradually expand their circle of friends.

Finally, Party A's company took the initiative to contact the freelance illustrator to draft. Generally, Party A only recognizes the ability and style of illustrators, and the cooperation success rate is very high. Therefore, there are still many ways for freelance illustrators to receive manuscripts, as long as their ability is excellent.

Mr. Leng Chan, the original painter, is also a freelance illustrator. Oh, he has his own unique style. Participated in the projects of Xinhua Hua, tencent games, Applied Bao, Zhongyin and other companies. Therefore, as long as the ability is excellent, Party A's company will take the initiative to contact the freelance illustrator to draft.

Is the job of the original painter easy to find the job of an illustrator? What are the general requirements? First, change your luck in order to succeed.

At present, the market for illustrators is still very scarce. As long as you have the strength, finding a job is not a problem. Before looking for a job, you should practice your skills and lay a good foundation for your promotion. It doesn't matter if the salary is lower at first, it's important to improve yourself at first. When you are really mature, salary will not be a problem. It is very understandable that you can't always generate electricity for love and study illustrations for life. Below I will explain the industry prospect of illustration in detail, and also give you a reassurance. Just learn, and the illustration industry will not treat you badly.

Second _ About ррррррррррррррррррр???

If you teach yourself completely? Do you think you can learn well?

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. We have a great teacher as our teacher, and we are particularly confident in our hearts. Although we can't do anything, we are always at a loss and have inexplicable confidence. So the best prospect of learning illustration is to have a good teacher to take you.

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. He will make a free live broadcast on the Internet at eight o'clock every night, and many people on the Internet will listen to it because it is very humorous and easy to understand. It sounds very enjoyable and makes people feel that their brains are wide open. Students who want to learn can go to Mr. Yu Rou's Wei Xin (homophonic): the first one is w9, and the last one is Kaka. Just combine the above two groups of letters in order. Smart people know how to absorb the essence of others and use it for me. Don't wait any longer, start your way of illustration learning.

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 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;

(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?

There is no denying that the painter's career will fluctuate under the influence of the market. But the life span of a painter can actually be very long. Many people will say that being older is not as good as an intern who just graduated. They can stay up late to catch up.

In fact, the more experienced painters, the higher the efficiency, the more recognized by customers, and the higher the pass rate of project completion. Some popular painters have even become well-known brands of the company and become one of the core competitiveness of the company. Especially those painters with high influence in the circle, their appeal even far exceeds the value of the works themselves.

Can an illustrator work all his life? To take a step back, in fact, after the painter retires from the first-line work, he has rich project experience, and can also control the quality of art for the company, guide new people, participate in planning and so on. You can also independently develop, open studios, hold training courses, hold art exhibitions, publish personal works, sell the copyrights of your own works, and so on. As long as your work is recognized by everyone, you can do it for a lifetime.

Can an illustrator work all his life? As long as you really like painting, you should boldly devote yourself to this industry. As long as you really paint and polish your work, painting won't let you down.
