Recruiting Part-time Illustrator —— How to Make Money by Drawing Illustrators

I want to find a part-time job as an illustrator. How can I find it? If these conditions are what you have: first, if you have a high level of painting, have worked for many years, have enough experience and have mature works. Second: this circle has a vast network of resources. Third: I have worked with large enterprises and have a good reputation in the industry. Satisfy the above: I signed up for an illustration class, but I regret it. A small partner in the group suddenly said that she had just signed up for an illustration class, but she regretted it after a few classes. I don't know how many friends who signed up for the class had the same experience afterwards, but I found that in illustration learning, many friends who draw with zero basics asked the most questions: Do you want to sign up for the illustration class? What kind of illustration class did you sign up for? How to choose the illustration course? As a person who has never reported for work, but has a strong ability to find resources and has listened to many online classes, I am ready to share some small experiences with you. 0 1. The first stage-interest cultivation I didn't know anything about illustration before, and I didn't know how to search for relevant study materials. I am in a completely graphic state. I found some open classes in Tencent's classroom. About two hours, the teacher spent almost half the time chatting and blowing water, so I can really learn too little. After listening to a few lessons, I copied it myself. I copied two or three pictures and found that my paintings were really bad. After three minutes of painting, I put the hand-drawn board aside. Once when I was looking for material on the material website, I found that many material websites were recruiting part-time illustrators, so I signed a contract with the efforts of Tripod Cat. I painted a lot during that time, and I drew at least two or three when I came home from work at night. The website publishes themes every month. I just need to draw what I want around the theme, and the review is not strict. I can almost make money by painting, which has become my motivation to stick to it. During that time, I was just cultivating my interests, ideas and aesthetics. For the little friends who want to learn painting with zero foundation, I suggest that you can find some free courses from the Internet first, cultivate your interest first, and don't regret not finishing your homework on time just because you signed up for a three-minute class. 02. The second stage-painting basic learning. Later, the review of the material website began to become stricter, and the price was not as good as before, so I stopped contributing. During that time, I also entered the bottleneck period, eager to learn by going up one flight of stairs in painting skills, so I wanted to learn the basics of art and learn systematically, so I searched all kinds of video tutorials from the Internet aimlessly. I also accidentally paid attention to the official WeChat account such as illustrations. It happened that there was a course style shared by the official WeChat account that I liked very much, so I reported an open class in the form of WeChat group. The course has been recorded before, so that the teacher will not spend a lot of time promoting her course in the course, and in the open class WeChat group, it is mainly to answer some questions we encounter in illustration learning. Later, I paid attention to Weibo, the teacher, and followed suit. I also pay attention to the big boss that the teacher pays attention to. At this point, I realized that many illustrators. This time, I no longer aimlessly find some online courses to listen to. I began to look for the course resources of these excellent bosses, and also found some high-quality and systematic course resources from the official account of WeChat. Although there are many free learning resources on the Internet, it takes a lot of time and energy to read these resources. Friends who want to study illustration systematically can also look for course resources from the following seven aspects. The basic knowledge of line and modeling sketch and the collocation of light and shadow perspective color, the aesthetics and inspiration of common composition clothing and folds have to be studied by three Amway teachers. Their courses are really full of dry goods. After learning, they have mastered 80% of the key points and will be used repeatedly in future paintings. The Quaker course is easy to understand and friendly to novices. Besides video tutorials, I also found some e-books. Taiwan Province master Krenz perspective class is also good, the related content is simple and thorough, and the dry goods are sufficient. Gu Jiayi's "Planet Renaissance" course, among all the online courses I have heard, is top-notch, no matter the quality of the content, the speed of the class, the burden to pay attention to, and the simple explanation to make the audience understand. In addition, I joined some painting study groups. The small partners in the group will share learning resources with each other, and will also discuss which courses are suitable for painting and which courses are best to focus on painting, so as to avoid wasting money because the foundation is weak and can't keep up with the teacher's rhythm. For students who want to learn painting in the second stage, I suggest that you can learn the feedback of the course through various channels before signing up for the course, so that you can have a general judgment on the teaching ability of teachers and students' works. If the economy is relatively well-off and there is enough time, spending some money will reduce detours and make rapid progress. If you don't spend money, you need to spend more time, take more detours and explore for yourself. Anyway, saving money takes time, and spending money saves time. However, whether you study for money or for free, painting needs a lot of time to practice. You must have heard of the 10,000-hour law. Its success represents that the great painter Leonardo da Vinci began by practicing drawing eggs. Day after day, year after year, through constant practice, this method reached the highest artistic level, which led to the Mona Lisa in the world famous paintings and the Last Supper. It's hard to learn painting by yourself. You can join some painting study groups, punch in and communicate with each other, and make rapid progress. Today's sharing is over. For reference only. How to make money by drawing illustrations? Illustrations make money by sharing channels.

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.
