What conditions do illustrators need to meet?
1, painting ability: this is the most basic requirement. On how to have and improve this ability, the most crucial point is to talk less, watch more, think more and draw more.
2. Relatively fixed style: As a learner, the painting style is naturally changeable. But illustrators should have a relatively fixed style of painting, even if it is not unique.
Otherwise, when it comes to the list, it will be very troublesome if the work at hand can't explain its own strength. With this relatively fixed style, illustrators can certainly continue to explore and change on the road of painting style.
3. Basic communication skills: Illustration is actually a combination of painting and design. What is the biggest difference between painting and design? Painting is an arbitrary artistic expression, and designers dance with shackles. Illustration, as a combination of the two, is actually at the request of Party A, giving full play to one's own skills and achieving the most beautiful artistic effect. ..
4. Your own works: From the beginning of learning to becoming an illustrator, every work should be well preserved. When you meet an order, you can quickly give your previous works, indicating that your strength and style are the basic abilities you should have.
What abilities do you need to be an illustrator? What abilities do you need to be an illustrator? I summed up three abilities that an illustrator needs. Let's take a look at them: 1. Drawing ability is first of all sketch, which is the stepping stone and cornerstone of all art and painting. The tools used include electronic drawing, such as graphite, pencil, crayon, marker, eraser, etc. There are also software, Photoshop or sai, and you need to master at least one software. Knowledge of color is also necessary, and effective color matching will bring great visual impact to the works. Of course, there are more than these, as well as structure, composition method, perspective principle and so on. These are all to be mastered, and sometimes it will involve animation professional fields such as animation mirror separation. Therefore, if you want to be an excellent illustrator, you should not only master solid painting skills and commonly used painting software, but also master the mainstream creative methods in the industry to meet the requirements of different styles of projects. 2, communication skills Illustration is actually a combination of painting and design. In addition to the professional knowledge of painting, there is another ability that needs to be possessed, that is, good communication skills. Communication is an important interpersonal communication skill. It can be said that most of the causes of interpersonal conflicts are due to poor communication. Only by communicating with others accurately and timely can we establish a stable and long-term interpersonal relationship. According to the pictures submitted by the boss, customer or editor, if the other party is not satisfied, you need to communicate with the other party until the other party is satisfied and you are satisfied. Therefore, communication skills are also essential to become an excellent illustrator. 3, a clear positioning in the illustration industry, we must be clear about their own positioning! Understand the compensation level in the market, make clear the appropriate quotation in the face of different contract requirements, clearly mark your different works, unit price and quantity, and try to look professional, so that when you send them to customers, they will think you are more professional and of course protect their own interests. That's all for this issue. See you next time ~
