Study on Illustrations from Original Artists - If you become a freelance illustrator, how do you get orders?

Dear seniors, I plan to go into painting. I don’t know whether it is better to learn illustration or original painting? It is recommended to choose original paintings, but original paintings require high art skills. 1. Original painting is a very subdivided and highly specialized type of painting. It serves movies, television games, etc. The first step in the work process, original painting is to show the starting and ending points of the characters' movements in the picture. Drawn on paper in line drawing mode, the original paintings in animation emphasize the sense of design, and the two-dimensional animation represented by Japan especially emphasizes the original paintings; the game original paintings have only one purpose, which is to be delivered to the 3D artist for modeling. Textures and actions, as long as the purpose is achieved, it will be the original painting of the game. 2. Illustrations, as the name suggests, are inserted here and there. At first, they were usually inserted between text. Nowadays, illustrations are no longer as simple as inserting between text. It is a general term, which can also be said to be "commercial posters". Some are purposeless and personal. Creation can also be called illustrations. This meaning is very broad now. In short, we see some things with backgrounds, characters, complete compositions, and detailed paintings can be called illustrations. In fact, many friends are doing this kind of drawings unintentionally and intentionally. Picture, make your picture look more complete and beautiful.

1. The original game painting is mainly for game design. It is a key design draft and plays a very important role in the game process.

Game original paintings require precise expression of content. The characters, monsters, and scenes in the game are all designed by the original painter, so having good design capabilities and creativity is a must for an excellent original painter. To put it simply, original painting is design in the game industry.

Illustrations present the illustrator’s ideas in front of the audience in the form of pictures, so that the audience can better understand and integrate into the text. the situations and plots described. At the same time, it provides eye-catching publicity, and the effect of illustration is the picture effect. Illustrations are simply illustrations and paintings.

2. "Original painting design" focuses on "design". It is one of the production instructions for the game and belongs to the manual. Something like that. The original painting is not a product and cannot be directly launched to the final consumer.

"Illustration design" focuses on "painting", and illustration is a product for the final consumer.

So their respective purposes are different, resulting in different quality of effects. Generally speaking, the degree of completion of most game original painting design is not as high as that of illustration design.

3. If you want to engage in related work in the future. For work, the original artist is usually affiliated with a certain company and will have a relatively stable income. Illustrations are often paid based on the size and difficulty of the painting.

So relatively speaking. , Original painters are more stable, while illustrators are more free, and their work nature is more flexible. If you become a freelance illustrator, how do you accept orders?

First of all, we need to pay attention to this all the time. Pay attention to the trends in the industry and pay attention to some platforms for outsourcing and project acceptance, so that you can know which projects are suitable for you. Just send your work, resume, etc. to Party A's company and wait for the company's reply.

Secondly, through friends or companies that you have already cooperated with, if there are projects suitable for you, they will introduce them to you.

Here, I would like to remind freelance illustrators that one issue is our connections. When it comes to freelance illustrators, many people think that they don’t need to socialize. In fact, this is not the case. Freelance illustrators also need to maintain their own interpersonal relationships. Many projects may be introduced by friends. Regarding how to maintain interpersonal relationships, this requires illustrators to communicate more with other illustrators on social platforms, such as actively hooking up with other illustrators on Weibo, following other illustrations, and forwarding each other's Weibo, which will slowly expand their circle of friends. .

Finally, Party A’s company takes the initiative to contact the freelance illustrator to invite manuscripts. Generally, in this case, Party A is very convinced of the illustrator’s ability and style, and the success rate of cooperation is very high. Therefore, there are still many ways for freelance illustrators to receive manuscripts, as long as they are capable.

The original artist, Mr. Leng Chan, is also a freelance illustrator. He has his own unique style. Participated in corporate projects such as Xinchuanghua, Tencent Games, Yongyongbao, Bilibili, and Hatsune. Therefore, as long as the ability is excellent, Party A's company will take the initiative to contact the freelance illustrator to invite manuscripts. Works by the original artist, Teacher Leng Chan.
