There are high and low salaries (just like the same civil servants, different grades, different wages and benefits. )
I belong to drawing a batch of drafts and calculating an account. There is no strict monthly salary, you have an annual salary. If you draw more, you will get more.
But it's definitely not as little as what is said upstairs. The annual salary is only 5000- 1 10,000. Must be a super novice beginner (less than 1000 on average in a month, and the illustrator with a little experience is not so miserable)
If you are a novice illustrator with a certain painting foundation and ps experience, it should be no problem to spend about 1000-2000 a month (if you don't draw a manuscript, then I have no idea)
A little experience, drawing is better, and there are illustrators with more regular customers, 3000-8000 a month is no problem.
Good illustrators who draw around me can earn more than 10000 yuan every month.
I don't know the level of illustrator, and I don't have the level of illustrator around me, so it's not easy to talk nonsense. (But I know that some illustrators make game settings or posters, and 1 picture is counted as 10,000. )
How much can a good illustrator earn in a month? The illustrator takes over the works piece by piece, and the unit price has to consider the personal level, the price given by the customer and the specific requirements. A good cover is usually 1000 to 800, and the inside page is about 100-500. The higher the price, the more difficult it is.
How much money you can earn in a month depends on the number of paintings. An illustrator, who paints well and works hard, can earn more than 8,000 yuan a month.
The illustrator's way to increase income;
1, you can contact the heads of TV stations, film and television companies, film crews and event planning companies, establish cooperative relations, and promise business commissions, with stable and high income.
2. If you can run a large-scale project and pay the start-up fee in advance, you can consider making project planning or cooperating with the company, which is risky but profitable.

Illustrators reveal industry income. What are the employment prospects of this industry? I don't know if you have any knowledge of the profession of illustrator. Recently, I have seen many advertisements about illustrator training institutions on various softwares. I can't help but be tempted by the marketing methods of advertising words such as "less money makes it easier to find a job" and "0 basic introduction", which is even equivalent to "never being laid off".
But are the actual illustrators really as happy as they are in the advertisements? Is it really a new choice that everyone can try? If you have to hire an illustrator, can you make money? The answer is of course yes, but there are conditions, such as solid professional ability and excellent works. Like Victo Ngai, a famous illustrator, the price of a painting can reach six figures, but she can earn millions a year just by painting. I think many illustrators use her as a model.
But what we need to know is that the income of top employees in an industry cannot fully explain the overall wage level of this industry. First of all, an illustrator is a profession with professional skills, so there must be some thresholds, such as professional ability. Speaking of it, many art professionals will inevitably cause market competition and substitution here, so what's the play for ordinary people without basic skills? Judging from the materials compiled at this stage, it seems that there are no basic ordinary people. If you want to start this industry from scratch in a few days, the pass rate is not very high.
What about some people who have their own painting foundation? What is the prospect of this industry? It is not easy for art professionals to have a place in this industry. I must constantly improve my understanding and aesthetics to ensure that my paintings can meet the ever-changing sales market. No matter what kind of professional skills, if you want to make money as a career, in the final analysis, you must meet the needs of the market. Only when the sales market recognizes the use value of your work can you produce certain economic benefits. In other words, your paintings must meet people's aesthetic standards. Everyone likes to watch them and is impressed by them. Only in this way can we sell them.
Otherwise, even if the painting itself is satisfactory, it will be difficult to obtain any economic benefits and control the aesthetics of such items when the sales market does not accept it. Even the paintings of Van Gogh, a famous painter of past dynasties, were not recognized at any time in his life. With thousands of works, he only sold one painting before his death. However, after his death, his works swept the world and were once sold at a high price of more than10 million dollars.
It is not difficult to see that no matter what the income of an illustrator is, the whole process of becoming an illustrator is far from as easy as it seems in advertisements. This profession not only has a certain threshold, but also must constantly improve its aesthetics to match the current market demand. And this kind of thing can't be mastered in just three or four days.
Therefore, the course contents of these basic novice illustrators are everywhere on different service platforms, and most of them can be judged to be deceptive. In fact, many of these courses just want to use the topic discussion of "illustrator" to attract total traffic for themselves. Here, we will dig for you. Don't spend such silly money to finally get yourself out of the corner.
Is it really impossible for a novice illustrator with zero foundation to get started? I don't think we can generalize, after all, there are some examples of completion. Must be divided into specific situations, specific analysis.
Speaking of the more popular illustrators on the market now, most of them are CG illustrators. CG illustrator refers to a way to create by using some computer technology or hand-drawn board. Therefore, many of these fashion bloggers who shout the guise of "zero foundation" actually have a background in arts and crafts training, but they have no foundation in this respect. In this case, it is really guaranteed to spend a few days learning to master the use of board drawing software, and then you can get started and make money after you are proficient.
However, this is completely different from the zero foundation that most ordinary people imagine. If I hear that you are a zero-based layman, interested in this industry and want to enter this industry, my suggestion is to learn some basic professional skills of fine arts painting first, then polish your basic skills of fine arts painting, and then consider the economic benefits of your works.
In addition, because of the different types of requirements, the threshold for illustrators has indeed decreased a lot. Many requirements will no longer require illustrators to have professional drawing skills such as color, interior space and perspective, as long as they can show the information that bidders want to express. This also gives many novices who want to enter this industry a lot of confidence.
Indeed, many illustration styles now do not necessarily have too many arts and crafts methods. For example, the illustration style of graphic design, as long as simple colors and patterns match, you can make an illustration. This is also the main course content and orientation of many speed learning courses.
Learning is really easy, but until the process of making money gradually, it is another scenery. Having said that, it is necessary to prevent lightning strikes. Many illustrated English training classes often use a false advertisement. They publicize and plan according to the salary level of the great god in the application industry and the teaching content matching the difficulty coefficient of Xiaobai, and lure you to study and train in the remedial class. However, after spending a lot of examination fees and adding some special equipment, it is very likely that the profits earned in the end will not even go back.
These illustrators draw a list of commercial services with one action, which must be very professional, and Xiao Bai, who just started, can't afford to draw. However, Xiaobai's design style can be mastered according to several days' study and training, because there are more and more people studying illustration at present, and there is a situation of low difficulty coefficient and large supply.
Xiao Bai has been trying to draft a draft all day, which consumes a lot of time and energy. In the end, only ten dollars were paid, and some were only a few dollars. With a huge sales market, there is no professional monitoring and management means, and there will continue to be cheated manuscripts, which makes people angry and helpless. I have several good friends around me who try to get started with illustration. After a period of trading, they have been joking with me that cleaning up Aquarius is faster than drawing.
In the final analysis, this is that our investment in learning and training funds is not positively related to our income. There will be a story in Zhihu's response to the illustrator's income. Xiao Bai is a novice. He spent tens of thousands of yuan to study the content of illustration course, but he didn't find a job after studying in many training institutions. In the process of taking orders at home, I was cheated by a single boss and ran away. Finally, he only found a new employee to join a small company as Art editor, and was demoted to an intern by HR at that time, and finally got a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan.
Nevertheless, it is not enough to remain neutral, but at this stage, the bottom situation of all second occupations is like this. The influx of new employees has intensified the competition in the industry market. Therefore, as my good friend, a pure white without basic knowledge and work experience, it is difficult to compete with other painters for high-priced business orders.
Today, in the post-COVID-19 epidemic period, the experience of earning money by working is becoming more and more obvious, and the number of people in the second occupation is slowly increasing, which leads to more and more fierce market competition in the second occupation industry and more and more obvious levels of income.
Illustrator is one of the most common examples. Great efforts in the industry will bring millions of profits. Art candidates will constantly improve their aesthetic standards to adapt to the changes in the sales market. At the same time, there will be waves of new products. Will it be more and more objective to play back these advertising words originally mentioned in today's program after we recognize the current situation of this industry?
