CONTENTS
WHAT
IS AN ILLUSTRATION?
An illustration is a drawing, painting or
printed work of art which explains, clarifies, illuminates, visually
represents, or merely decorates a written text, which may be of a literary or
commercial nature. Historically, book illustration and magazine/newspaper
illustrations have been the predominant forms of this type of visual art,
although illustrators have also used their graphic skills in the fields of poster art,
advertisements, comic books, animation art,
greeting cards, cartoon-strips.
Most illustrative drawings were done in
pen-and-ink, charcoal, or metalpoint, after which they were replicated using a
variety of print processes including: woodcuts, engraving, etching,
lithography, photography and halftone engraving, among others.
Today, one
might say there are five main types of illustrations:
1. Educational
"information graphics" (eg. scientific textbooks)
2. Literary
(eg. children's books)
3. Fantasy games and books;
4. Media
(magazines, periodicals, newspapers)
5. Commercial
(advertising posters, point of sale, product packaging).
Many of these illustrations are designed and
created using computer graphics software such as Adobe
Illustrator, Photoshop, and CorelDRAW,
as well as Wacom tablets, although traditional
methods like watercolour, pastels, casein, egg tempera, wood engraving,
linoleum cuts, and pen and ink are also employed.
ARTISTS AND ILLUSTRATORS ARE DIFFERENT?
Types of Artists
Artists use art to communicate thoughts, feelings
and ideas. The types of tools and materials used by artists depend on their job
title and description. There are typically four occupational categories that
artists fall into:
1). Art Directors
Art directors give creative direction on a number
of projects, including advertisements, CD jackets, billboards, websites and
magazine layouts. They also manage other artists. Therefore, in addition to
possessing artistic ability, art directors must also possess good management
skills.
2). Multimedia Artists and Animators
Multimedia artists and animators create images for
use in movies, TV shows and computer games. They use video, computers, film and
other kinds of electronic media to produce these images. Multimedia artists
often create animations and special effects.
3). Fine Artists
Fine artists include occupations such as painters,
sculptors, sketch artists, cartoonists and illustrators. They create original
works of art using many different tools. For example, sculptors use clay, wood,
plaster, stone and glass to create artwork. Sketch artists use charcoal, pencil
and pastels. In addition to using many different tools, fine artists also use
many different techniques to create realistic drawings. Two such techniques
include shadowing and perspective.
4). Craft Artists
Craft artists make handmade objects to be sold or
showcased in galleries and museums. Such objects include jewelry, rugs, art
glass and quilts. Craft artists may use recycled objects to create their
handmade items. These recycled objects can include soda cans, costume jewelry,
old t-shirts and license plates. Craft artists often employ the same techniques
used by fine artists.
Types of Illustrators
Illustrators create images for use in publications,
such as books and magazines. They also make images for commercial products such
as calendars, wrapping paper and greeting cards. There are other types of
illustrators:
1). Medical Illustrators
Medical illustrators use both traditional and
digital methods of illustration to create images of the human body. They also
create 3D models, animations and images of surgical procedures. Becoming a
medical illustrator requires knowledge of biology.
2). Scientific Illustrators
Scientific illustrators create images of plant and
animal life, planets and atomic structures. These images are used in training
presentations as well as medical and scientific publications. Like medical
illustrators, scientific illustrators also need to study biology.
3). Technical Illustrators
Technical illustrators are sometimes known as
mechanical drafters. They use computer-aided design (CAD) software to prepare
drawings and diagrams of mechanical devices and machinery. These drawings show
details of assembly methods and indicate requirements such as fastening methods
and dimensions

1). Unique consistent style.
I think having a unique consistent style is
probably one of the most important keys to having a successful illustration career.
2). Technical skills.
It's hard to execute a good idea if you don't have
the technical skills to do it. Having great technical skills not only allows
you to realize your ideas, but also will save you a ton of time in the long run
because you will be much more efficient and responsive when clients have
feedback.
3). Marketing your illustrations.
All your marketing efforts should point back to your
web site. Your web site is a place where you can centralize information and
understand the success of specific marketing tactics via Google Analytics and/or Statscounter.

How much profit you need to survive? You have to
decide how much profit will you get by your art.
5). Find the clients and
projects.
Find your clients and
projects, if you don’t find them, you will not to survive your finances.
6). Attitude.
Have a possitive attitude
is important. Of course talent is crucial .. but talent isn't the only thing
that gets you work. People are people and it's always nicer to work with
someone that is positive and solution oriented.
7). Informational.
You can save yourself a
lot of extra work by asking a few questions up front.
First, get the basic
information:
- Technical Specs - size, bleed, resolution, etc
- Important Dates - (Rough Date, Final Date)
If this is the first time
working with this person ask them:
- Why did you choose me for this project? (I like
your concepts, I like your painterly style, your work is cute and works
well for teenage girl magazines, your style is rough and dark and works
well for this editorial piece on drug abuse, etc)
- Which pieces of work do you particularly like
and why?(I like the man on the boat cause it's funny, I like all the
texture in the piece you did for Converse, etc)
- How did you discover my work?
This will give you a
better idea of what the client likes about your work, why they chose you for
this particular project and what they expect.
8). Tracking the work.
If you want to make a
career out of illustration you will need a good way to keep track of your jobs
so you make the deadlines and get paid for your work.
9). Creating the work.
You can sketch your work
with pencil first and talk to your client and explain them. If they agree with
your sketch, lets to redraw your work be a “real work” in digital or
traditional.
10). Final.

just wait for the clients feedback and pay you.
