At the end of 202 1, many inquiries were received. Many painters are very confused about their future, that is, "what can I do after painting?" This is rather awkward.

There was a lot of finishing work at the end of last year, and this can't be finished in one or two sentences. I just wrote an article, which will be comprehensive and let more confused people see it.

Even if many people learn to draw, they always feel that they can't touch the doorway. Where should we go?

Although adults like drawing very much, many of them do it with a good career expectation. Adults are not children, they still need a certain economic ability, and they have the burden of life on their shoulders.

It is not shameful for a person to be in awe of painting and have the expectation and action of "developing painting into a career". Don't laugh at her at any level.

Many people talk about realization and think it will defile "art". And my point is: painting can awe the depth it can explore constantly. But this matter can become the demand of the public, just like the salt in life, adding a flavor to the ordinary life of thousands of people in Qian Qian.

In this era, making money will make gold shine; If you don't make money, gold will disappear. (This article was first published in the Palace of the same name ~ Zongzi ~)

Liquidation, in fact, is to sell goods, do a good job in the quality of things, and sell them to those in need, deliver them well, and live up to the trust. The same is true of painting realization, that's all. Make a hullabaloo about and sell yourself boldly.

Many people spend much more time than hobbies because of their blind pursuit of love, but their real life is not out of balance because of this income.

Some readers talked to me: "I have been addicted to love for many years, but I haven't earned a penny." I only have the word' poor love' in my heart, and I can't see the road ahead. Is it persistence or giving up? "

There have always been great differences about the realization view of painting artists.

Some people actually want to make money, knowing that they have a foundation, even a good foundation. But I am afraid to take that step, afraid that others will say that I am utilitarian, so I can only silently dispel the idea of making money.

But if she doesn't make money and continues to make money, she will become more and more anxious. What can anxiety lead to?

Depression and consumption! I keep buying classes and hoarding painting skills courses, but because she has no time to study, she still can't achieve it, so she will always think that she can't! After thinking that you can't do it, you need to buy a painting class, just like smoking spiritual opium. Once she stops, she will feel extremely anxious mentally and feel that she has made no progress.

She will think inertia:

Because you can't make money, it's all because your technology is not as good as others.

Because you can't make money, it's not enough for you to do it yourself.

Because I can't make money, it's all because I don't study enough.

After reading this article, if you have a certain painting foundation, you are likely to fall into such a whirlpool blind spot and cannot extricate yourself.

Aside from everything, let alone how to do it, but if you read this article carefully, it will definitely affect your understanding of painting and the goal of painting growth in 2022.

All painters, whether they want to enter the profession or have a foundation, must know where the road of painting leads.

Painting, painting, what can this thing be used for? How to make money?

Combing the following 3000+ characters, there are many ways to realize the illustrator, and there are 8 ways to sort it out:

1 _ ⒃⒃⒃ ⒃

An illustrator who earns money from magazines, picture books and other publications. Another partner is mainly the draft of the brand. Both attach importance to personal painting style and ability. Some illustrators have strong style compatibility and good technical level, which are not only suitable for publishing, but also can be blessed by brand cooperation.

This is also a road that 99% illustrators yearn for. But every year, a large number of painters who have been trained in the course flow into the market again, forming a strong price involution. A painting could have cost 2000 yuan, and the level requirement was relaxed. Even 100 yuan can find many people to paint.

Can you blame the painter? Can't! They also want to live. Supply exceeds demand in the market. Like a house. In a good city, houses are in short supply, while in an ordinary town, there are not many people, so it is difficult to sell houses.

Only when you reach a high position can you get out of the thesis, get a relatively stable income by your own word of mouth, long-term accumulated solid foundation and customer volume, and get one tenth of the contribution of the manuscript every year. Under normal circumstances, the contracted illustrator earns about 3- 10w a year. But as long as we persist long enough, keep exploring and keep the balance between painting style, commerce and art, there will be a better future.

Many of my zero-based painting students have changed from financial accountants, programmers and administrators to illustrators and become many famous illustrators. After making money, believe and work hard.

In this piece, many zero foundations will care about whether they can become contract illustrators. My answer is that as long as you love it, improve your skills, and then manage it well, it will come true. But it takes time and resources to become a contract illustrator with stable income.

02_ peas

Chatting with friends who pay for knowledge, everyone thinks that after paying for knowledge, many income channels will be disdainful. Because the income from writing contracts is too low and easy to change, many times I prefer to draw what I like, rest and do what I like.

It is true that the ceiling for knowledge payment will be higher. My students earn more than 1 00000 in less than three months from the start of school to the recruitment of courses, and there is13w+ per month. Because as long as you have a skill and some business thinking and operational ability, the relative income ceiling is higher. It takes 1 copy to sell to many people at the same time. These paintings can continue to be sold for commercial copyright.

As we all know, paying for knowledge is a dividend for intellectuals in this era. But many people don't have the courage to do it.

There is actually a psychological barrier to knowledge payment, that is, from students to teachers. Many times, I feel worthless in my heart, and I am afraid that others will feel worthless.

Suggestion:

_ _ Coal, Manganese and Rongji

_ _ Reward and optimize your skills. But don't pursue perfection, pursue the ability above ten thousand people. Anything done in advance is perfect.

_ _ I'm proud of you. Learn to communicate with positive energy teachers and friends, and don't fall into negative energy circles.

_ _ I'm afraid I'm struggling. Don't always look at my own shortcomings.

__ジ

It's hard for you to do it yourself, or you don't know how to do it. Finding someone who can help you on the road can also save a lot of time and boost your energy quickly without internal friction.

Many people say that the draft contract is highly competitive, and so is knowledge payment. However, have you noticed that at this time, I haven't heard the painter say anything about disappointing. There is no competition. Generally, it is a moat built with time and fame. This is not a competition. Because newcomers can't compete.

The competitiveness of the draft is great, largely because there are more monks than meat. Resources are also inclined to which part of a few illustrators, and many of them can't make an appointment. The remaining demand is digested in the involution of the market. Moreover, although this method has waited quietly for several years in the draft, it is also passive.

Pay for knowledge, relatively speaking, get global students, without geographical restrictions.

Yes, all over the world, many China people abroad will choose to pay for their study in China. My painting students come from more than ten countries such as Britain, America, France, Switzerland, Australia and Canada (I won't take a new painting class in 2022). Comparatively speaking, this kind of competition is not worth mentioning.

Relatively speaking, the professional level of painting will be lower, and the requirements for teachers' children's painting psychology, patience, whether they can take care of children and guidance will be higher. A painter does not have to be a professional illustrator. There is still this road to go.

I have a private tutor who does online and offline aesthetic education for children &; Customers, a small and beautiful personal workshop offline, will receive 20w+ in the first few days of the year.

Some students who painted quit their jobs that they didn't like, and then went to work in an aesthetic education institution where children painted, and reported good news to me, and the income was better.

So, don't limit yourself. The human heart is the biggest cage. Painting, painting well, there are really many things that can be done.

The illustrator's artistic presentation ability is required, and the ability to tell stories with pictures is very important.

Picture books are more difficult than counseling books and picture books. Previously, the publishing house invited me to publish the book "Give you a big hug" in the form of royalties. There are tutorials for personal painting appreciation, and generally the second one will be considered as a picture book. The book of wild illustrator 1 will usually ask you to give a tutorial. Some people will print personal picture books in private (they will pay for proofing and keep them as souvenirs to compare their feelings. )

.

Picture books need deeper precipitation. That's what students like the Central Academy of Fine Arts do. First, there are top tutors. Second, the state advocates the support of top quality publishing houses; _, students will also work hard to prepare their works for the competition every day.

.

However, as an illustrator from the wild, is it possible to make a picture book? Yes! It's just harder What's the difficulty?

_ _ The balance between artistic aesthetics and commercial works

_ _ Hard-to-reach picture book resources

_ _ I may not know where to contact the work.

_ _ If you are an independent picture book, you lack the ability to write stories.

Some people say that rice is earned by picture books, which is very profitable?

This is actually a champion, and the champion level really earns. If it takes 1-2 years to publish a picture book (the picture book polishing cycle is long) and it doesn't sell much, it means that it won't make money and it is still poor. Those who can make bestsellers and earn money by lying down are not ordinary people.

But there's no guarantee you're not. While seeing the situation clearly, we should also encourage ourselves and look forward to the future.

There is a role Ip, or a story IP, for example, a picture book story IP of Jimmy can be made into a movie, and another illustrator's role IP can authorize the production of different commercial products for sale. The more famous the author, the more valuable the IP is, and the benefits are considerable.

Lazy and inclined.

Aesthetics is an intangible asset. You can develop your own brand products or sell paintings everywhere.

When the fan traffic reaches a certain amount, some brands will advertise, and the advertising fee is very considerable. I have received advertisements from different brands, such as Huawei tablet computer, electric toothbrush with lovely teeth and German SMK watercolor paint.

However, the real deep precipitation, since the media has been very strong advertising costs are considerable.

08_ Just like drinking beer.

After a while, the brand will invite good illustrators with personal brands to participate in brand activities, and one of my personal education partners will be invited to participate in Intel product salon activities, with an appearance fee of 6,000 yuan and a half hours. The greater the influence in the future, the higher the status.

Last year, I received an invitation from a tea brand to participate in brand activities. I was too busy to travel in Shanghai, so I didn't go.

For example, Mercedes-Benz, some _V and Gucci _ will return to Magpie, so the appearance fee will be considerable.

The higher the appearance fee, the longer the status needs to be precipitated, or the more prominent the media operation, the greater the reputation.

Write it at the back

It is not enough for one person to draw well, because more people need to see your personal brand. Commercial operation is an indispensable part of the development map of individual illustrators. While trying to draw, knowing how to get yourself out is the key.

If a person only needs to draw well, then why do so many companies have to do brand influence while making products?

The dimensions of this world cannot be so single. Never neglect business operation and wealth just because you are an individual. Don't laugh at people who care about business operations. A wise man will see his wisdom.

Truth is often despised by most people from the beginning. And when everyone can understand, it's too late.

Draw well, pay attention to personal brand and wealth, make money well, refine yourself into gold and make gold shine.

On which platforms can I earn a little money by drawing illustrations? You can post on some social or flexible shopping platforms to make money.

Illustration is commonly known as illustration in China. Nowadays, the popular commercial illustrations in foreign markets include publications with pictures, cartoon mascots, movie posters, game characters and artistic scene design built into games, advertisements, cartoons, picture books, greeting cards, calendars, decorative paintings, packaging and other forms. Virtual objects and related visual applications that extend to the current network and mobile phone platforms.

There are two types of illustration applications:

In the field of graphic design, we are most exposed to literary illustrations and commercial illustrations.

Literary illustration-a visual art form that reproduces the plot of an article and embodies the spirit of literature.

Commercial illustration-an image expression that conveys commodity information for enterprises or products and integrates art and commerce.

The illustrator gets the remuneration related to it, gives up the ownership of the work, and only retains the right of signature, which is a commercial transaction.

What paintings can make money now? I wonder what paintings can make money now? It's actually quite simple. You can test it yourself. Let's see:

1, illustration The lowest threshold for making money is to draw children's illustrations.

2. Every year, there is the work of redrawing all kinds of classic fairy tales.

Can you make money from it?

Choose a fairy tale with a simple picture, such as Little Red Riding Hood and Peter Rabbit, then try to draw it yourself, and then search other people's versions on the Internet to see if the difference is too big. If you can draw it, you have the lowest entry skills. But we must calculate the time. This kind of work is not artistic creation, but selling coolies and delivering goods on time and in quantity.

A picture book gives you ten days and a half months.

If you can draw, but it is extremely painful, I think you can also reassess your enthusiasm for drawing to make money.

Further reading: Why are Picasso's paintings expensive?

Speaking of talented painters Van Gogh and Picasso, I'm afraid everyone knows. But their circumstances were very different. Van Gogh, who jumped ship many times, finally devoted himself to painting. After his cooperation with Gauguin failed, he suffered from mental illness and cut off his own ear. This is perhaps the most famous episode of his life. Van Gogh created his art with the understanding and support of his younger brother Theo, but before his death, only one of his 2000 paintings could be sold.

Compared with Van Gogh, Picasso is much luckier. His success is not only related to his outstanding painting ability, but also closely related to his life experience. Seven-year-old Picasso, led by his father as an art teacher, stepped into the art hall and showed amazing artistic talent. Later, the father who taught him to paint said, "I can't teach my son to paint any more." This fully shows Picasso's extraordinary painting talent.

What is even more surprising is that Picasso, who died at the age of 9 1, left more than 70,000 paintings for later generations. In addition, he also owns many luxury houses and huge amounts of cash. The total value of his legacy is about 750 billion yen (about 39.5 billion yuan). In the history of art, there is only one painter who can own so much property before his death.

Why are the fates of these two great painters so different? I think this is because Picasso is more interested in "money".

Picasso's view of money

Picasso is a genius in selling paintings. Whenever he has new works, he will call dozens of well-known art dealers to his exhibition. And in the exhibition, he will tell you the background and intention of his works in detail.

People prefer to buy stories related to painting. By doing so, Picasso is using the principle of competition to raise the price of his works. This method of converting the value of works into price is also called "monetization" process.

It is said that Picasso likes to pay by check even if he buys daily necessities. Why would he do that? Actually, there is a little secret. Picasso is a famous painter. If he buys by check, what will the shopkeeper do with it? Picasso thought that instead of taking this check to the bank to cash it, the shopkeeper might as well take this check with his autograph as a work of art, decorate the room or collect it. Therefore, in order to prevent the shopkeeper from cashing the check, Picasso paid by check, which is actually equivalent to Picasso's "buying" things without spending money.

Now you should know how Picasso raised his price and how to exchange his fame for more money. His method is "credit creation" and "realization" in modern financial terms.

ChateauMoutonRothschild in Bordeaux, France, is famous for its high-quality wines. Starting from 1945, this high-grade wine with a price of about 50,000 yen per bottle uses different patterns as wine labels every year, and its wine label of 1973 was designed by Picasso. However, the wine merchants did not use money to pay for Picasso's design, but used wine. Therefore, the higher the evaluation of the wine label designed by Picasso, the higher the price of wine. As a reward for the manuscript, no matter whether Picasso stays to drink or sell it, it is undoubtedly of great value. For Picasso and wine merchants, this is a win-win case.

By the way, the full name of Mu Tong Winery is Rothschild Winery in Mouton. Obviously refers to the Rothschild family, which occupies the throne of Jewish financial circles. Baron Philip Rothschild, the owner of Mu Tong Winery, invites many famous painters including Picasso to design wine labels every year. It can be seen from this move that he also has a deep understanding of money.

Picasso and Rothschild both know that on the platform of honesty, value can be exchanged without spending money. Moreover, such value exchange can often show the essence and significance that cannot be measured by money. Therefore, the economy may not be inseparable from money. The people who make the most money are often those who can handle things well without spending money.

Pablo Diego, Jose Santiago, Francisco de Paula, Juan Nippo, Mochino, Crespo, Pigna Nordros, meadows Ri, seapaul Yano de la Santizi, Matinda Maria Paricio, Critto Riz blasco Picasso.

This is Picasso's full name. It is said that in Picasso's hometown of Malaga in southern Spain, many people there also have such a long name. When naming names, locals like to add the names of their close relatives and friends in addition to their ancestors. As a result, people's names get longer and longer. I heard that even Picasso can't remember his full name.

The Spanish are so keen to add other people's names to their own names, and their real purpose is to bring them closer together. They are all very aware of the importance of establishing honest and reliable interpersonal relationships. In their view, money is only a lubricant to reduce interpersonal friction.

Happiness is the state after the wish is realized.

Picasso once said, "What I draw is not the appearance of things, but the essence invisible to the naked eye." Therefore, it is necessary for us to understand the nature of money. Otherwise, we will not be able to control our own destiny, let alone live happily.

The amount of money is not directly related to people's happiness. Because happiness is the state after the wish is realized. To be happy, people should not only have enough money, but also have strong willpower. For the ordinary and wonderful existence of money, people should cultivate the ability to despise it when they are young. Only in this way can money be regarded as a "raw material" for producing something and can it be better controlled.

To evaluate the success of an entrepreneur, it is important to see how much value he can create and what kind of ideas he has, rather than how much assets he has accumulated. In my opinion, money is the lead powder for starting a business. When we can't communicate with others smoothly, money can build a bridge for us.

However, the premise of value exchange is honesty, and with the platform of honesty, money can be used. In my opinion, money is only a lubricant in interpersonal communication, except for buying necessary equipment and paying remuneration.

With the development of the times, money has changed from the original metal money to paper money. With the development of IT industry and the popularity of Internet, money has evolved from paper money to electronic money. We are less and less likely to encounter money, but the change of the balance in the account controls our mood.

Under the influence of globalization and informatization, "finance" will usher in earth-shaking changes. With the change of finance, people have different ideas about food expenses, the mode of getting along with others, and even the way of life, and these differences should cause us to re-examine and think.

What will happen to the future money and what should be done with it? We care so much about money because we don't want to be controlled by it. Life should be a process of continuous creation, and people should use their existing experience to transform the world. Money is actually just a tool we use when we transform the world.

Instead of trying to make money, it is better to create value and exchange value for wealth. When we realize the enjoyment of value and create value happily, we will usher in a credit society without money. In such a world where honesty is the foundation and everyone creates value, we will live more and more happily.
