How does an illustrator publish a book —— Under the specific introduction of how domestic illustrators contribute (I don't want to contribute, I just want to popularize science and be professional).

How to make money by drawing illustrations? Illustrations make money by sharing channels.

1, illustrator:

1) vision china/Station Kuluohai

These two platforms are both authoritative platforms. Vision china needs to upload his works on the platform after signing the contract, and Giankuhailuo can upload them directly. When uploading, you can choose exclusive or non-exclusive, depending on your needs. Although the non-exclusive income is not too high, the same works can be sold continuously to make money, which is a good way to earn income continuously.

2) Other solicitation platform websites

For example, illustrator China, rice painter, graffiti kingdom, artists' union, art box, UI China, Qiantu. com, petals and so on.

When uploading works on these platforms, it's best to pay more attention to the directional uploading of business hotspots and the serial uploading, and the effect will be doubled.

2. Peripheral products

1) own subnet:

You can open your own shop here, so you need to have your own traffic. It can also be sold on behalf of the company, and the share of sales revenue will be much less, but the products can be sold through the traffic of the platform. Before that, I simply uploaded a few pictures, and I sold a few simple pictures happily, but because it was for sale, the income was not very high, but it was also a small channel for continuous income.

2) Taobao shop cooperation:

After you continue to increase your exposure and promote yourself, some Taobao stores will take the initiative to seek your cooperation. There are two ways of store cooperation:

You set the price.

For example, a T-shirt shop has its own reserve price, which will let you set the price. The money you earn is the price you set minus the floor price of the store.

Pricing (you decide) = store floor price+price difference (earned)

Earn commission

For example, in a decorative painting shop, he will give 5% ~ 10% of the monthly sales at a specified time every month.

3) Open your own shop:

Taobao shop or micro shop. This requires you to bring your own traffic and have a certain popularity. Many people like your paintings very much. You can open your own shop and sell some peripheral products made by your own illustrations. Such as T-shirts, notebooks, mobile phone cases, canvas bags, pillows and so on.

4) publish a book:

Illustrations or picture books can continue to receive royalties.

5) offline large-scale illustration activities:

For example, the Illustrator Carnival, Singularity Art Festival, China International Illustrator Hundred People Exhibition and other activities. Here, you can constantly promote your peripheral products and meet many illustrators in the same industry. Many businesses will come here to find illustrators, which will give you more possibilities and opportunities.

5) Submit recruitment information

There are also many recruitment illustrators or part-time illustrators on major recruitment websites, especially picture books.

6) Major vertical painting websites

Illustration-related websites such as Illustration House and Graffiti Kingdom often have a large number of illustrations.

5. Teachers/teaching assistants

Teaching assistant: it can not only bring some income, but also bring huge network resources, and accelerate growth with teachers.

Teacher: I need to accumulate my own painting level and process in the early stage. When you have accumulated to a certain extent, you can start to consider starting classes. Common ones are live courses (high income), recorded courses (continuous income) and punching activities. Common platforms include cctalk, Qian Chao, Netease Cloud Classroom, Tiger Classroom Network and Blue Pencil.

Step 6 take part in the competition

Station Cool, UI China, vision china and Graffiti Kingdom, these websites often publish many competitions related to illustration.

I wrote a light novel. How can I get an illustrator to help me illustrate? One: pay someone to explain, usually a few hundred yuan. Second, edit and arrange the illustrations after the book is published. (Take part in the recent essay competition for light novels, such as the essays of Xinrui, Kakukawa and Dongli ~) The self-study suggestions of illustrators are as follows: First, be familiar with the software to be used, you can find many tutorials of this software online, and you can sign up for some online classes. It doesn't cost much to buy a hand-drawn board. Buy a cheap hand-painted painter. Hand-drawn and mouse-drawn feel different. You can personally experience the strokes and strength of the hand-drawn board. Imitation, you can find some simple illustrations to copy first, and then find some relatively difficult illustrations you like to practice after you achieve satisfactory results.

When the painting is almost finished, you can slowly add your own ideas and ideas and complete your own independent creation. Read more pictures at ordinary times, learn more painting skills from others, and exercise more to strengthen yourself. Persistence is victory, and success is a long and arduous process.

Illustrator: An illustrator is a person who draws illustrations as a 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.

Illustrator is a general term: among them, there are illustrators, children's illustrators and cartoonists facing the media publishing industry, and the works of some cartoonists in China have been published in overseas markets such as Europe, becoming the pioneers of China's cultural export; There are also realistic illustrators in 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.

How do domestic illustrators contribute? Specifically (I don't want to contribute, just want to popularize science and be professional), I usually take the initiative to contact magazines and send my works to the editor's mailbox of larger magazines in China. They will come to review, and if they pass, they will usually have their own affiliated small publications for you to try first. Sign up for a long time if you feel good. Or you can publish your original works on Illustrator China or similar websites, and the number cannot be less. Editors will look for potential painters on the Internet. If I take a fancy to you, I will contact you to try. Senior illustrators have no worries about their business. If you are a novice, even if you contribute this time, you may not be able to do it next time, mainly depending on your personal strength. Give you some big magazines, such as comic guest, You Man (Xin Lei) and Miss Yilin, etc. They will have a contact email address on the official website. Remember to pack their works and send them. Generally, the manuscript fee is around 200-500, depending on personal strength. I personally have been doing this for several years, and I know a little. Give me a satisfactory answer! ! ! ! ! ! !
