You can support yourself while traveling and painting at the same time. You can do this too.

If you don’t want to go to class, you will never be able to go to work in this life. Even if you can't make a lot of money, as long as you can support yourself. If you can still do what you like and have various jobs come to you, who wouldn't want this?

In fact, many young people have already led such a life, have seen it in the market, and made money by the way. Like being a travel cartoonist.

I know this young man who first majored in animation when he was in college, and he was very confused when he graduated from college. If you want to stay in a big city, you have to find a job in a big city. But fresh graduates don’t get much money at all, and they still have to rent a house and pay various expenses.

By chance, he saw an advertisement from the Provincial Tourism Bureau recruiting tourism experience experts. He thought to himself that he was looking for a job anyway, so he might as well give it a try. However, there are many talented people applying for the job. Some are proficient in several languages, some are already experienced gamers, and some are particularly good at photography and writing.

And he is just a young man who has just graduated. How can he highlight his advantages? Combined with his own art skills, he displayed local tourist attractions and food guides in hand-drawn ways, and unexpectedly stood out. In the end, he became a travel experiencer as he wished, played for free for one month, and received a bonus of 10,000 yuan.

It was through such an opportunity that he finally recognized his strengths and development direction, and decided to become a travel cartoonist. Now he has his own works in the travel columns of major portal websites, and he has gained a lot.

He has millions of fans and various job opportunities come to him.

Below I will share some of his successful experiences. If you are also interested in this, you might as well learn from it.

1. A large amount of accumulation must be made in the early stage. Read more and learn more works from great people. Strive to complete a painting every day, make painting and hand-painting a part of your daily life, and use all kinds of time to practice and copy. When you see other people having good ideas, you boldly learn from them, imitating them while incorporating your own style, and you will gradually form your own genre.

2. If you are still a novice, then go to more platforms to distribute your works and study the algorithms and recommendation mechanisms of these platforms. Of course, if you find a platform that is particularly suitable for you, just focus on those platforms and distribute the others simultaneously.

3. It must have its own unique label. It is recommended to buy a VPN and watch high-quality works from foreign media. For example, some people stand on their heads in every photo, or wear a fan's tutu, or take photos with their own dolls. If you accumulate more, you will form your own portfolio with a unique label.

4. Before each departure, you should fully research the place you are going to and the approximate points you will go to. Think about it in advance, or draw some semi-finished works, so that you can complete it quickly when you arrive. If you are taking photos, try taking photos from different angles in the same place.

5. Take the initiative to hook up with talented people or great masters, such as submitting articles. But before hooking up, you must take a good look at the master's previous works and updates. In fact, some of your doubts may have been answered in the previously posted content.

6. If you are just starting to learn painting, hand-painting, etc., then you should buy the best tools or some photography equipment as soon as your budget allows. Including buying good-looking clothes when you go out to play, so you can get extra points when taking photos.

7. If it is posted on Xiaohongshu, it is recommended to edit 9 pictures at a time and add tags.

8. If you want to be a public account, don’t post too long travel notes at once. It is difficult to attract readers to read a travel note of tens of thousands of words. If you have written a travel diary of tens of thousands of words, you might as well publish it several times, highlighting one highlight each time. For example, if you write a travel diary about a certain place, you can divide it into food guides, popular attractions, internet celebrity check-in guides, library and museum guides, and special gift purchase guides.

9. In the end, you must persist, persist in learning, persist in practicing, and persist in creating.
