The essence of the profession
An illustrator is an artist whose essence of work is to create artistic images for clients. The creation of drawings can relate to all sorts of industries: texts of books or other printed materials, films and cartoons, commercials and much more.
The illustrator must precisely focus on the customer’s requirements. Thus, he not only includes specific features in the final work, but conveys the idea with all the depth of the emotional component, “revitalizes” the depicted object. This is the main job of an illustrator - to clearly show other people's thoughts through drawing.
1. The illustrator’s work process from the outside
Types of illustrations
Professionals need to be able to use different drawing techniques:
- Graphic: charcoal, sanguine, sauce, retouching and more are used. Typically made in one color
- Painting: watercolor, gouache and acrylic paints are used. Most often used in the design of books and magazines.
- Collage: this technique in art is characterized by combining the most heterogeneous elements into one work; an image is created by combining many pictures.
- Applique: pieces of material (a variety of things: paper, fur, fabric, etc.) are glued/sewn onto a certain surface to create an emphasized relief in the work.
- Photomontage: a complete picture created from elements of photographs (sometimes graphic additions are used). Applications are common in printed graphics and posters.
2. Example of graphic illustration
In addition to the above, there are illustrations created using computer graphics:
- Raster image: is a grid of colored dots - pixels (the most popular type of graphics).
- Vector graphics: Representation of an image using geometry (points, splines, lines, polygons).
- 3D Graphics: Using a variety of techniques to depict and emphasize the volume of objects. Currently, the most common application is in the fields of cinema, animation, computer games, etc.

How to learn to do data visualization?
Technically making infographics is one thing, but making them truly visual and understandable is quite another. Here is an algorithm that will help you create a quality product.
- Introduce your reader. Think about who you are doing everything for. Mentally draw a portrait of such a person. What does he want to understand? How best to convey information to him?
- Formulate a topic. It must be clear and understandable. An example of a good topic: “What is the optimal ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates in the daily diet?” Example of a bad one: “Eating right and other healthy habits.” That's too much for one job. Then it’s better to take the topic “Healthy Habits” and indicate proper nutrition as one of the habits.
- Write the text. First, take as many useful facts as possible, and then choose the most important ones. State the facts briefly and clearly. The Glavred service will help with this.
- Think over the image. Make one or more sketches.
- “Collect” the text and picture. This can be done using services, which are reviewed further in the article on Kadrof.ru.
- Test yourself with a simple test. Mentally remove the text from the image. Is it clear what we're talking about? If yes, everything is fine. When you need to do work, always keep in mind what it is - infographics - in simple words: a graphical way of presenting information. It should be as clear as possible.
Tips on how to learn how to make info graphics:
- Look at examples of good work and analyze why they are successful. There are many collections on the Internet with comments from experts.
- Follow the principle of less is more - the more concise, the better. Remove everything that can be removed without losing meaning and clarity.
- Read articles by experts, for example, on Infogra.ru. There you can find information about what it is - infographics - in simple words, and how to do it correctly.
- If you want to work professionally in this field, you can take courses at the University of Netology. Training is conducted online.
Necessary skills to get started
There are no specific rules on how to become an illustrator. First you need to decide on the direction. To do this, you need to understand the types of illustration, try yourself in different creative directions and give preference to something.
Examples of currently existing areas:
- Web Design: The job involves designing the interface for websites or web applications.
- Development of brand books: development of a guide that collects and reflects the main features of the corporate identity. Usually published in the form of a catalog.
- Fashion illustration: a genre of illustration directly related to fashion.
- Motion design: bringing graphics to life using animation.
- Illustrations for stock: creating images for the exchange on which the purchase and sale of content (photos, drawings, videos, etc.) is carried out.
- Sketching: a technique for creating a quick drawing that allows you to convey the main idea in the shortest possible time.
- Interior design: developing a style for premises, the goal of which is to create maximum comfort and an aesthetically satisfying interior.
4. Fashion design example
The power of illustration lies in its ability to speak to the most complex topics; to those that the photographer would not touch. That is, to illustrate, you need to have specific qualities.
- Punctuality: an artist should never miss deadlines, deadlines must be met, work must be submitted on time.
- Decision-making ability: you need to understand what the final work should look like, in accordance with what to decide what information in the image to throw out and what to leave.
- Curiosity: It is imperative to draw information from the world around you, which also requires attentiveness. Paying attention to detail is a truly important skill that requires development.
- Sense of humor: this trait is useful in cases where you need to cope with failures (creative block, for example), as well as to use it in your work.
- Self-control: returning to punctuality, it is important to control yourself and in especially difficult moments not to give up - the work must be done.
- Creative thinking: the latitude of the flight determines the brightness of the images created. The artist’s brain is his main tool, on which the result directly depends.

Portraits: starting a business, stages of development
When creating portraits of various kinds to order, you can avoid renting a studio, saving a significant amount and working at home.
All you need to start such an activity is to choose a suitable organizational form and register a business entity, purchase all the necessary equipment, materials and tools and start advertising your services. Once the type of activity has been selected and the range of services that the artist will offer to potential clients has been determined, it is necessary to purchase equipment for the work, tools and consumables.
So, to paint classic portraits on canvas or paper you will need:
- easel - table or floor, as well as wooden or metal;
- sketchbook;
- canvases and paper;
- palettes;
- brushes made of several types of materials - acrylic, synthetics, bristles, foam rubber and others;
- pencils for various purposes;
- paints;
- pencil cases;
- all kinds of accessories.
Artists who have not previously engaged in professional painting may experience difficulties at the stage of purchasing consumables and tools for work. Since there are quite a lot of stationary and online stores designed for artists, you should choose the one that has the optimal balance of quality and affordable cost. To avoid mistakes and choose high-quality tools and materials, you can use the advice of experienced artists.
If the creation of portraits will involve computer processing, you must acquire high-quality computer and related equipment and install the appropriate software.
Starting a portrait painting business on your own, over time, as the number of orders increases, you can take on an assistant or an assistant, or work in tandem with another artist. In this case, it is better to rent a shared studio, although you can continue to work from home online.

Competent advertising is the key to the success of a future business. When starting a business, you should first think about what the target audience will be and what potential clients you should target. As practice shows, in most cases, portraits are ordered as a gift - often such ideas arise from young or middle-aged people. And since the cost of painting a portrait is generally considerable, most customers should have an average or high level of income.
According to the experience of many artists, the best way to promote your services would be your own website, which should contain all the information about the services offered, information about deadlines and other details of order fulfillment. The most effective will be a detailed portfolio of works already completed by the artist, as well as customer reviews. It is better to entrust the work with the site to professionals: its design, development, optimization and further maintenance require the participation of qualified webmasters.
Additionally, placing contextual advertising, using the capabilities of forums and social networks and other functional resources will help with promotion. Ads in magazines and outdoor advertising can be useful, but these will mainly be auxiliary methods.
An artist who has never had his own business before can choose a simpler way to promote his own business: without being distracted from the creative process, he can entrust this task to specialists from an advertising agency. But in this case, there will be additional costs that should be taken into account when developing a business plan.

Financial issue
Income
Representatives of this profession, as a rule, work as freelancers, which is why they do not have a fixed salary. For the same work you can get both 5 and 50 thousand. It all depends on the “promotion” and skill of the artist.
Little-known customers are often willing to pay more for work than popular brands. With the right approach, this can bring some benefits.
Speaking about how the cost of work is calculated: there is no specific formula for this. Some set the price based on the illustration format (A1, A2, A3, etc.), others - based on the number of hours spent on completing the order.
There are also average earnings in the illustrations:
- Freelancing – about $1000 per month.
- Photo bank – $300-1000 per month with sales of around 5 works per week.
- Working in a company costs 20-100 thousand rubles.

Expenses
Not the most pleasant detail of the profession in question is the constant costs of materials. As those who work from home know most, part of the cost of a drawing is the material that goes into it. Professional paints, for example, which are used by skilled people, can cost a month’s salary, or even more.
Things are simpler for those who have an employer. In such cases, as a rule, all required materials are purchased by the company personally. Employees can only enjoy the bestowed fruits.
How to create a portrait painting business
Fine art is constantly evolving and becoming more diverse and modern. Therefore, artists who want to make money from their talent and skills can apply their skills in a practical way, including painting portraits to order.
On video: German Gavrilov (Procanvas, Roistat). Portraits on canvas
The demand for interesting and unusual gifts is constantly increasing, so custom portraits do not lose their popularity. Modern artists can offer both the creation of one type of portraits and various types of services.
The following are traditionally in greatest demand:
- portraits in oil, pastel, watercolor or pencil from life;
- any type of portrait from photograph;
- pop art portrait;
- gift options made in a certain style.
Since today there are many professional artists offering their services, including painting portraits, it is necessary to immediately think about what the “trick” of the offer of a new market participant will be. One of these moments could be the design of portraits in a special style or the creation of urgent portraits and some other interesting ideas.

The main difficulty of a business in the field of creating portraits lies in the need for careful organization of activities: step-by-step planning and serious financial calculations are required.
The business plan should include the following main points:
- analysis of the chosen area of activity: the level of demand for such services and the occupancy of this niche. Here you need to monitor existing offers and pay attention to the variety of services offered and the pricing policy of the main market participants;
- creating a strategy for the future business: you should decide what services will be offered to clients and set a price scale. At this point of the plan, conclusions are drawn regarding the target audience and the most effective methods of finding clients are determined;
- financial calculations: determine the nature and size of future investments, the total budget required to open a business and its further promotion and, taking into account the expected profit, calculate the profitability of the new business.
Since you can open a business from scratch for creating portraits of various types on your own, without hiring additional employees or equipping a separate room, working from home, the start-up investment will be insignificant.
On video: Portraits in computer editors
The most significant costs will be the purchase of working tools, equipment and consumables; the costs of an advertising campaign may also be significant. If we calculate the approximate costs of organizing activities for creating portraits, then the purchase of canvases, easels, paints, pencils, brushes, containers for liquids, consumables and other things with a small amount of work at the initial stage will cost between 100 - 200 thousand rubles . In the future, with the development of activities and expansion of the customer base, and therefore an increase in the number of orders, it will be necessary to purchase more material and technical equipment. About 50 thousand at the initial stage should be spent on advertising the services of a portrait artist, the same amount on additional expenses, including installation of software, if the artist offers portraits in modern processing or souvenir options.
As for possible earnings, you can achieve very high results in the first months of work. Thus, by setting at the initial stage a price of about 400 rubles for a drawing made to order in pencil and from 1,000 for a portrait on canvas, as well as a higher price for various souvenir options, you can achieve fairly high earnings, provided you have a high level of professionalism and active advertising campaign.
What you need to make money from drawings on the Internet
A person who knows what and how to draw, and also knows how to sell his work, will never be left without money. Illustration is a great way to make money, but to do this you need to be aware of some subtleties.
How to make money from illustrations on the Internet
To start getting money for your art, you don’t have to be a professional in this field. Listens should be concentrated on choosing a topic. The contractor must follow global trends; understand what the buyer is interested in, based on what to draw conclusions: in which direction and in what form creativity should move.
Another important aspect is to choose a platform to sell your work. The main criterion for choosing a site is the target audience. Each site “has” a special buyer whose tastes you need to unravel. That is, the higher the traffic of potential customers, the more profitable it is to work on this platform.

Sites where you can make money by drawing
- Shuttersock: This site is one of the largest trading platforms. It provides stock photos, videos, music and other materials. The microstock database stores over 20 million units of all kinds of content. The authors, when selling material, receive 60% from the sale of goods.
- Fotolia: Stock is best for beginner illustrators. The site is made in Russian. This allows beginners to easily navigate the system and get started immediately. It ranks second in terms of scale and sales volume.
- Dreamstime: another stock suitable for beginners to start with. The site does not require any passport data or passing a qualification test. Sales income is quite low: the author receives around 30-50% from the sale of work.
- DepositPhotos: international photo bank. Serves as a link between authors and buyers. This microstock has existed since 2009 (created by Ukrainian entrepreneur Dmitry Sergeev) and is completely translated into Russian. There are relatively few sales on the site, which is why money is rarely paid out. Easy to use, only requires a passport for registration.
8. Create a drawing digitally
Who buys the drawings
On sites for selling drawings, anyone can be a buyer. Most often, their role is played by various agencies, magazines, advertising companies, publicists, etc. Their job is to purchase fresh and exclusive content, which means that it is among them that the services of artists are in great demand.
The above sites are a great way to make money from drawings. The purchase takes place officially, both parties receive an agreement and certain rights to dispose of the material - everyone will benefit.
9. Example of a website for artists
Websites for artists to make money
All sites can be divided into several types. The most popular ones are listed below.
Drains
Shutterstock.com
Largest stock.
Works with photographs, paintings and vector graphics. It has its own bonus program: the author’s profit increases if a lot of works are sold. To register as an author, you must pass an exam. To do this, you need to send 10 of your best works for review. If the administration approves at least one of them, the exam is accepted.
It is an excellent starting point for self-taught artists. Works are quickly checked and put up for sale. You can withdraw money after $35 has accumulated on your balance, but not earlier than 3 months after registration.
Istockphoto.com
Oldest stock.
Works with photos, videos, raster and vector graphics. The resource contains sales statistics, but it is updated only once a month, so it is difficult to obtain up-to-date information. Another disadvantage of the site is the large amount required for withdrawal - $100.
Stock.adobe.com
To work, you will need to provide the administration with a photo of your passport. The royalties to the authors are substantial, but the number of buyers leaves much to be desired. The minimum withdrawal amount is $50.
Depositphotos.com
To start making money from pictures, you will need to pass an exam by sending examples of your best projects. The minimum withdrawal amount is $50. The resource has a five-level status system. The higher the status, the greater the reward for the author.
Freelance exchanges
A great way to earn income for digital artists. There are always a lot of customers, and with a responsible approach it’s hard to remain without work.
Important! The disadvantages of exchanges are the need for initial investments (about 800 rubles) and high competition.
List of popular freelance exchanges:
- Freelance.ru
- FL.ru
- Work-zilla.com
- Kwork.ru
Sometimes there are orders for real images made on canvas. Therefore, even those who do not work with digital graphics should pay attention to the above platforms.
Notice boards
The most popular message boards in Russia are:
- Avito.ru
- Farpost.ru
- Irr.ru
- Youla.ru
To maximize profits, it is recommended to register on all sites at once.
How much can you earn by selling illustrations?
Is it really possible to make money on stock photos? The issue is important and requires investigation.
The range of prices for the same work is very wide. For a sold photo, one illustrator can earn 0.5 dollars, and another - 2 (and sometimes more). The final incomes of the two artists are radically different. Prices fluctuate around 0.5-1 dollar per photo.
The cost of an image directly depends on its quality, size and frequency of portfolio additions. The more often materials are added to the portfolio, the higher the performer is rated.
The results of working on stock photos often arrive late. The response is long in coming, and many artists, disappointed, leave the site. It should be noted here that only perseverance can lead to worthwhile results. High incomes on such exchanges are received by those who are able to prove themselves.
Recently, the demand for such sites has been increasing. There are more and more freelancers eager to do what they love. In this regard, the rates are rising: if previously you could earn 20-30 dollars per month, now earnings reach the $1,000 mark.

What does the work of a 3D modeler look like?
There are different types of studios. And different forms of working with them. Find the format that suits you
.
Where to go to work after studying?
Go to the studio that writes the game
They are often difficult to get into. Especially games with cool art directors, because they have a lot to choose from. But if you are taken to the team, then upon completion of the project you will improve greatly. Inside the studio, as a rule, they make the most complex and most important models for the game, although it happens that only the art director and concept artists sit in the office, and all the modelers outsourced. Who is it suitable for? If you want to be part of a project and watch its growth and development from the inside, this path is for you.
Work with outsource studios
Modern games require so much content that developers hire contractors. This is how large studios are created that unite dozens of different modelers and work on several projects at once. For example, in St. Petersburg there are studios that simultaneously make 5-6 AAA games at once (sometimes competing with each other) They outsource completely different tasks. This can be responsible work: models of the main characters and key items, as well as routine improvements or boring tasks that developers do not want to do at the head office. Who is it suitable for? If you like stability, want to work on different projects, or if you have to pay a mortgage.
Go freelance and work through a manager
Almost the same as working with outsource studios, only you sit at home and receive orders from the manager. You are not tied to one studio, but can work with one or more managers who sometimes offer you work. If you need money, you can always ask your manager friends for a job, and they often find it. Who is it suitable for? If you are already a confident model, you love freedom and don’t like meetings.
Freelance solo
You write directly to the developers to see if they have any orders for you. This is an option for those who can work independently and efficiently. Without a cool portfolio or connections, it’s not easy to get such a job, but this is a job without intermediaries. Who is it suitable for? If you are confident in your portfolio, love freedom, don’t like meetings, and even more don’t like a manager who takes part of the money for himself.
Create models for marketplaces and asset stores
Imagine that you have modeled a cool building designer. You can put it in the asset store for sale. Current assets can be sold for several months and bring a good profit. You can model skins for Dota 2 and paint textures for Counter Strike (and other games). There are people who bought themselves a good apartment and car this way. A really cool skin can bring more than working in a studio, but this is not the path for everyone. Who is it suitable for? For those who are willing to take risks and are ready to work without bosses.
Ultimately, everything needs 3D!
Thanks to the variety of directions in three dimensions and different work formats, you can choose the activity that suits you best.
Benefits of 3D Computer Graphics
3D graphics is a very popular visualization method in our time, which allows you to depict everything you can think of. What we see today is direct confirmation of this. This kind of technology allows you to create both complex, high-polygonal structures that are as close to reality as possible, as well as something simpler and cheaper, for example, visualization of a simple drawing that has not yet been brought to life or a virtual cast of a figure. The main advantages of using 3D graphics are:
- Visually simple perception. It is much easier to work with three-dimensional models, since you don’t need to think about anything separately and everything is already presented in a “ready” form. Rotating at different angles allows you to see all the pros and cons of the created object. All that remains is to transfer the layout into reality.
- Animation. Modern 3D editors allow you to apply various effects to ready-made models, with the help of which you can simulate the physical properties of an object and interaction with other structures. This is undoubtedly convenient for testing a future design.
- Detailing. Modern technologies make it possible to work with high power, which ensures comfortable work with 3D graphics, which makes it possible to maximize the detail of the model, to draw every detail, even the smallest one.
It is difficult to overestimate the importance of 3D models in the world of modern business. Computer graphics gives designers almost unlimited possibilities, a chance to create something new and unique. This is a way to implement grandiose experiments and implement the most daring developments.
Graphics cost
The final cost is influenced by a whole set of factors. These factors are set in accordance with the preferences of the contractor or customer.
- The name of the performer: the louder the name, the higher the price, which is logical.
- Time devoted to work: in such cases, payment may be hourly.
- Costs in the production process: artists will not work at a loss. The price of the final image includes the amount spent on its production.
- Lead times: urgent orders cost more. Performers may push back other work in their schedule in order to take on material that is needed in the near future.
Graphics is a delicate and labor-intensive matter. Its cost is a priori high. The budget of films is based on the cost of graphics. Because of this, the production of films, especially science fiction ones, turns out to be so expensive.
11. Example of graphics cost
What is 3D modeling
When a customer has an idea for a project, be it creating a new piece of furniture or a three-dimensional book cover, a specialist who knows how to translate the client’s ideas into the plane of computer space comes to the rescue.
In a sense, 3D models are prototypes of future material objects, translated onto a PC screen. In modeling programs, you can rotate the created layouts and examine them from all sides, think through every detail and understand how it will look on the final product.
Despite the inexhaustible demand, there is not much competition in this area. After all, in order to make money on 3D models you need imagination, creativity and a desire to grow. Those visualizers who have become pros in their field prefer to cooperate with a limited number of companies. This creates a low competition market and opens the way for beginners who want to try their hand at real projects.
As a rule, the first six months are necessary for a beginner to hone basic skills and create a high-quality portfolio.
3D software capabilities
Freelancers in 3D modeling actively use 3D programs: 3D MAX, AutoCAD and others. They allow you to create and modify models through their 3D meshes. You can add, subtract, stretch, and otherwise modify the mesh of objects. 3D models can be viewed from multiple angles, usually simultaneously. The camera can be rotated and scaled in the program itself. Finished models can be exported to files, which can then be imported into other applications. Most programs support file importers and exporters so that they can be read and written in other application formats.
Most 3D programs contain a number of plugins, such as ray tracing and other rendering and texture mapping alternatives. Some of them also contain functions that support the ability to reproduce and create animations of 3D models. Special programs are able to generate a full-fledged video from a series of rendered frames.
Rendering is the final process of creating an actual 2D image or animation from a prepared scene. This can be compared to photographing or filming a scene after the pre-production process has been completed on set. Several different imaging techniques have been developed. These range from a distinctly unrealistic wireframe view of objects to polygonal (multi-polygon) based rendering using more advanced techniques such as scanline rendering, ray tracing, or radiosity. For a freelancer, rendering can take anywhere from a fraction of a second to several days per image/frame.
How to work with photo banks
Photo banks are online platforms where authors post their works in image format, and buyers purchase them under established conditions.
There are many different photo banks. It is more profitable to register on all possible platforms at once. This will increase your chances of receiving a suitable order.
Some sites require the provision of passport data. There are tests that check the qualifications of a future performer. All this is arranged to “weed out” inexperienced or unreliable individuals. The platform becomes better quality, and work on it becomes more reliable.
Other photo banks provide open access on their sites. This option is suitable for beginning artists who are just testing their strengths and skills. Such sites do not require passing a test or providing personal information. Work begins from the moment registration is completed.
12. Wide selection of content
Non-exclusive rights to the image
When transferring non-exclusive rights to an image, the author, in fact, simply gives permission to use the proposed material. At the same time, the artist continues to possess the file and is able to transfer it to the disposal of others.
Rights that are not exclusive may belong to a number of persons.
Exclusive rights to the image
The exclusivity of the image does not allow the author to sell it countless times. By selling it, the artist loses the rights to use it for personal purposes.
When the author indicates the exclusivity of an image, he automatically indicates that this photo is posted only on this site. That is, it is sold on this platform and nowhere else. For work with such a mark, the payment increases.
After such a file is sold, it is deleted from all stocks. The sale is carried out for a certain period or forever.

My love for drawing
My name is Stepantsova Olga Aleksandrovna, I am 22 years old, I live in the city of Blagoveshchensk.
Many of us loved to be creative as children: some played a musical instrument well, some made crafts, and some liked to draw. Talent exists within every person, and it goes without saying how important it is to discover and realize it.
It is known that drawing has a positive effect on the nervous system, which means that the entire body will benefit.
By being creative, you can not only have fun, but also make money, while spending a couple of hours a day on it!
First publications
I always loved to draw and did it often. I just sat with a piece of paper and a pencil wherever and whenever I wanted, because I liked it and got better every time.
And for a person engaged in creativity, it is necessary for his work to be seen and appreciated by as many people as possible, so I decided to publish my best works on social networks.
Now this is one of the best ways to show what you are capable of, and to look at others and learn new things. By the way, I used A4 paper and simple pencils. The cost of this did not ruin me, especially since the pencils lasted a long time.
What are the benefits of drawing?
The final income depends on the choice of topic. Illustrations have high sales potential because they convey a fresh and unique idea. The main emphasis should be on the theme of the drawing. It should touch the viewer to the core. By raising sensitive or popular topics, the chances of selling an image at a profit skyrocket.
Many photo banks help artists choose a topic for painting. The websites publish lists of the most frequent requests. Based on these queries, it is concluded that the buyer searches most often.
One of the topics on which customer interest is falling today is the topic of politics. The simplest image mocking political figures sells much better than a detailed still life.
14. Illustration on a political theme
Being an illustrator in today's world is more than profitable. High-quality images are required in many areas of public life. The list of orders is also replenished with private requests. The main thing in this matter is to remain interested. High-quality illustrations will receive high-quality response.
Banks 3d models
Banks of 3D models are similar in structure to photo banks, but trading here is carried out not by images, but by 3D models. At the same time, it is possible to sell both fully completed models with textures and models without textures.
To start selling, just register on the site and then start uploading your 3D models. I recommend focusing on turbosquid.com, as this is the most popular site with a large audience. In addition, they have a program for exclusive authors, when they pay a higher percentage of sales for those works that are posted only on their website.
Interestingly, you can set the price for the model yourself, but you should focus on similar offers in order to know the adequate cost. Withdrawal of money is again possible through checks, transfer to a bank account or PayPal.
