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.

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.

What is a part-time illustrator? He is a man who takes painting and illustration as his profession.

The main work of illustrators includes drawing illustrations and covers for books, magazines, newspapers, handbooks, novels, textbooks and other publications, as well as drawing greeting cards, posters, advertisements, inkjet and humorous paintings. Divided into electronic illustration and pure hand-drawing.

Illustrator is a general term, including illustrators facing the media publishing industry, children's illustrators facing the advertising industry and realistic illustrators;

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 to make money from the sideline business of comic original painting generally refers to a career that is not fully devoted, but then again, game companies and animation companies have a lot of workload and basically need full-time, so this is not recommended. This leaves the illustration and related design industry. The domestic illustration circle is very chaotic, so it is easier to be famous, but the manuscript fee is not high. You should be mentally prepared. Although you say how much the master is, I think it is the same as an employee saying how much his manager is every day. Hmm. How interesting

In addition, if you want to find a related part-time job according to your major or occupation, you can pay more attention to the original paintings, booth layout, model drawings and so on. (If you are stronger = =)

I'm a game painter, and I work part-time. You can refer to it

1 contributing magazines, covers, illustrations, etc. But as I said, the illustrations are cheap and the cover is not much for you. Color 150~500 (different quality). Black-and-white ones are too cheap to talk about or pick up.

Business training lecturer, now there are many places similar to original painting design and game training. If you are in a bigger company or have a good level, you will get such a job. I use the internet to connect to the site remotely, and the price is basically the same. My price is calculated by the hour, 80~ 120/ hour, usually 3~7 hours. I go to school four or six times a month, which is a change.

Take game outsourcing, but this is not often taken. Because those who are willing to find someone to do it are stingy companies, they don't want to raise artists themselves, so they find someone to do commercial works temporarily. In addition to game outsourcing, there are also film and television splitting, card making and so on. Game outsourcing includes role setting, scene setting and UI interface. The price is different.

I'm average. I make 500~800 cards for Q version and 300~400 cards for character design. It's faster this way. I like it. Your major can watch scenes, and the scenes taken by my colleagues are 2000 to 6000. You don't take care of the paintings, because you are so tired of working overtime, and the overtime pay you get is similar to that of the company, which is not rare.

This is some of my four years' experience, and I hope it will help you.
