(1) Role positioning: Mainly in personal design and fashion design, and probably later suitable for game companies and animation companies. For example, the personnel of "Xian Jian San":
(2) Scene orientation: mainly painting scenes to express space atmosphere, architecture, scenery, etc. Film and television company, do conceptual design of the scene. For example, the concept map of the scene of "Looking for Dragons".

Of course, income has a decisive relationship with the quality of your own paintings. As long as you draw well, it is not a problem.
