? Second, strength can't be learned, not waited for. As I said above, don't always wait, there will be no pie in the sky. Only by our own efforts can we create our own world. Similarly, the prospect of illustration is based on its own strength, which is learned. The illustration industry has a bright future. Learn. You have really learned, and the illustration industry will not treat you badly. 、
Some students say I want to learn, but the online illustration course is chaotic and poor, so it doesn't matter if I look confused. If you want to learn board drawing illustrator, you can listen to a class of master board drawing illustrator online. He will broadcast the original board drawing illustrations on the Internet for free at 8: 00 every night, giving people a sobering feeling, because the teacher is very humorous and logical. Students who want to learn can go to Teacher Yu Rou's WeChat (homophonic): the first one is w9, and the last one is Kaka. Just combine the above two groups of letters in order. Learning is the best accumulation of life strength and a catalyst to enhance our potential. If you want to learn illustration, start your journey. Of course, I will talk about the future of illustration in detail below to give students a reassurance.
? Three? From the macro level: look at the industry prospect of illustration from the historical background. CG film and television animation in China only started in 2000, from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, from graphic and web design industries to three-dimensional animation and film and television special effects industries. With the continuous progress of technology, the application fields are getting bigger and bigger, and now it has formed a considerable economic industry. In this short period of more than ten years, digital painting has completely subverted the traditional visual era and opened up a new era of colorful images, relying on high-end technology and taking unlimited creativity as its content. Digital painting has brought nearly hundreds of billions of dollars in economic profits to the powerful countries of film, television and games. It can be said that digital painting has formed an industry in the United States and Japan, which has had a far-reaching impact on their economic and cultural development. In China, with the rapid development of China's economy, the digital painting industry will flourish. For commercial illustration in digital painting, it is the way that many young people choose now, but with the increase of the number of employees, the competition in the market will become more intense. Therefore, early acceptance of commercial illustration teaching can take the lead in obtaining high-paying opportunities.
Four? From the micro level, it is quite promising to know the art of illustration.
Illustration, I believe everyone is familiar with it, and it can be seen everywhere in life. For example, when you order takeout at noon, exquisite packaging boxes, packaging of major brands in supermarkets, posters on mobile phones and major shopping malls. I believe you have had the "impulse" to fall in love with the product because of the packaging, but this is its charm.
Nowadays, the application of commercial illustration has already spread all over the IT industry, and the employment in the whole market is very extensive. After investigation, it is found that illustrators are among the best in the next 17 hot industries. They belong to high-income people like stars, lawyers, software engineers and fashion designers, especially commercial illustrators are relatively scarce talents in the computer design industry.
Illustrators have more career choices. Web design, graphic design, animation design, publishing illustrations or becoming a freelance illustrator can all earn a good income. And the demand of the whole market is also very considerable. The demand for illustrators is increasing year by year.
Judging from the current situation in China, the monthly income of commercial illustrators working in advertising companies, animation companies and game companies is about 4,000 to 8,000, and good commercial illustrators are often calculated by the number of pieces. Usually an illustration works several hundred yuan, thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan, and commercial illustrators are also classified as high-income people.
Illustrators can work in game companies, animation companies, and book companies, serving as original painting settings, poster drawing, and book illustration compilation. You can also set up your own studio and a small creative team composed of several illustrators, which will be more competitive than freelance illustrators!
Five? What are the employment directions of illustrators? The traditional painting art is liberated from paper and pen, and the best visual effect can be achieved through a computer, a drawing board or an ipad.
The strong demand from advertising, media, film and television, animation games and other industries makes commercial illustrators a very scarce talent in the design industry, and also makes commercial illustrators one of the most potential and profitable occupations in the future.
Although commercial illustrators have the aura of "golden rice bowl", don't think that they can do this job with painting ability. To do this job, you should not only have a certain painting foundation, aesthetic literacy and professional skills, but also have a keen sense of business.
? Six? What should I do if I want to learn illustration? So what should I do if I want to switch to business illustration or learn business illustration from scratch?

2. Can you persist in your love and interest in painting?
3. Do you like creative and creative work?
4. Establish a good attitude,
When I first started to change careers, I always unconsciously magnified the immediate difficulties. In fact, what I really face is not as difficult as I thought. Where there is a goal, there is a future. Set yourself a goal of illustration learning and break through step by step. You will find it easy to learn illustration.
? Seven? What foundation does an illustrator need? (1) Sketch basis: Sketch is a visual art expressed on two-dimensional materials by using painting tools. Sketch foundation is the stepping stone and cornerstone of all fine arts painting. A good sketch foundation can be used for smooth painting, creation and expression.
