disrespect your wife like reblog 5 years ago 142 891 notes text making it in the art industry while being an artist from the 3rd world javidraws hey friends this is a post requested by my twitter followers and i ll be talking about some faqs living in the 3rd world a lot of us don t have the facilities that many in america england and other countries take for granted like paypal i m gonna be providing some alternatives that might help you please take whatever i say with a pinch of salt and be aware that it might not apply to you i ll be talking entirely from my own personal experiences how do i get a following i ll tell you how i got mine this could work for you and it also might not before twitter i had 3k watchers on deviantart 300 of them migrated with me to twitter i ve been posting my art online since i was 12 so that s more than 13 years now and it was only recently 2017 ish that my following started growing i was in some fandoms and did fanart initially which bumped my twit following to 3000 after that i dropped the fanart completely and started working on my original illustrations here is the first drawing i did that got 5k likes which was massive for me at the time i really don t know why it got that popular i think it s something people hadn t seen before and it resonated with them so they were inclined to share it making very detailed environment art has sort ve become my brand now after this drawing the next environment illust i posted was this and on its own it got 13k likes a massive jump from the first making a brand for yourself on social media is so important in my opinion you really need to focus on what sets you apart skill while important is not the main reason that gets ppl to share your work there are many skilled folks that will never make it on social media those who have big followings have 1 thing in common they re very good at marketing you don t need photorealistically rendered art but i do encourage you to learn the basic fundamentals anatomy perspective and colour theory these are my big 3 anyway back the the point when you think of your fav artists i m sure at least 1 thing stands out to you that is unique to their work using meyoco and gabriel picolo as examples their art is extremely unique when i see a meyoco or picolo drawing i can immediately tell even without reading their username that they re the one who made it they have a solid brand luck is ofcourse a huge factor when it comes to sm but when you re good at marketing you can manipulate luck to be in your favour i ve had to memorize my followers timezones so i can make sure to post when they re all awake and what days they re most active on i interact with my followers very often and reply to them i also ask them questions and have conversations with them it s all very important another thing i wanna emphasize is learning how twit algorithm works twit wants to promote tweets that create a conversation replies are most important create art that will make people question or straight up ask your followers stuff in the caption that will lead them to reply to you more meme art is so popular it s totally ok i think to post memes and if they go viral plug your art in the replies i don t wanna hear anything from industry pros on how this is shallow following it s not i ve had ppl who followed me cuz of my funny tweets stuck around cuz they realised that i draw and my art appealed to them they are dedicated followers that always leave me comments and support me now lastly you should always focus on improving your work no one is above that your followers also want to see your growth and cheer you on how do i take commissions paypal doesn t work in my country so i live in pakistan we don t have paypal here i personally use payoneer and have found that it s a solid alternative it lets you create invoices that you can send to your clients and they can pay with a credit card they cannot pay with paypal or at least they couldn t the last time i checked i ve found a quick fix to this though i have a patreon account will elaborate on this below where i ask my commissioners to send a one time donation of the commission amount which they can pay with paypal and i transfer it to my payoneer my payoneer is connected to my bank acc and 90 of the time the service is very swift and your funds reach your bank within 1 2 hours after you withdraw in the unlikely instance where they take long this has happened to me you will have to go bug their customer support to open a ticket to investigate the status of your transfer the customer support is decent they usually get back to you within 7 business days so feel free to draw your own conclusions about that they also offer a payoneer atm card that i recommend you do not get because they are in partnership with a third party company which issues the cards recently the company was in legal trouble bc it was going bankrupt so those who had the payoneer card their funds got frozen temporarily on the off chance that this could happen again in the future just don t take that risk what s the deal with patreon should i set one up patreon is a monthly subscription service where your followers can subscribe to receive exclusive content from you on a monthly basis it s a good service imo if you already have a dedicated follower base that you know will pay to receive art from you that isn t commission work i post psds there sketches of my characters short comics etc i m in a unique spot where many people are already familiar with my original characters and want to see more of them so you ll have to personally evaluate your own follower base and decide if you should set up a patreon i won t sugar coat it its ofcourse easier to become more successful on patreon if you have a big following i have 144k followers atm and only 250 patrons tho this number is growing the more i advertise it so you can see that percentage for yourself but there are also people with smaller followings than me who have more patreon subs just bc i think they offer content that people are more likely to pay for tutorials speedpaints brush sets some spicy nsfw stuff u know how it works i opened my patreon acc very long ago and the site was very different back in it has me listed as a founder wow so special the way tiers work and all are very different now so i m useless when it comes to this you ll have to task someone who opened an acc more recently about how the options and everything work now what s an agent do i need one you don t need an agent but an agent is highly recommended when it comes to illustration and graphic novels a literary agent is someone who represents you and looks for work for you they have industry connections that you don t and they will send your portfolio out to the right people they also have more knowledge of legal stuff and companies these days are very predatory and will try to get the rights for your ip from you without you even noticing your agent catches the fine print in these contracts and fights for your rights they also negotiate better pay for you you don t have to pay an agent if an agent comes to you asking for pay they are a scammer an agent gets paid when you get paid they get a percentage of your salary 15 is the industry rate across the board now how to get an agent the process to get an agent is extremely hard an agent is not your social media they are a professional who works in the industry they will look at your art from a professional lens so depending on whether you want an illustration agent or a graphic novel gn agent you need to go see what s already on the market and evaluate whether your portfolio and skills are comparable if it s not don t worry you can always improve and now you have a goal to strive towards once you re sure that your portfolio is good you can start looking for an illust agent but not a gn agent that s different i ll talk about it below you need to google search and find a list of agencies that look appealing to you look at the work they ve published do you see artists or books there that you like then you make a list of agents from the agency who stand out to you be aware that agents typically have 1 genre of book or whatever they rep so if you seek out a children s book illust agent they probably won t be too helpful in landing you editorial illust spots in magazines now you look at the guidelines on the agency s page look for query form or the equivalent each agency will have a slightly diff method that you will have to follow to apply but it s usually link your portfolio and tell us about yourself you send in your query to the agent who impresses you and then you wait for a response now let s talk about graphic novel agents a gn agent i find is a little more tricky almost all gn agents i ve seen so far request to see a manuscript synopsis of your story along with your portfolio they re basically taking it for granted that you re also going to be writing the gn that you wanna draw this was exactly the case for me so i personally cannot help you with the case where you re just an illustrator and looking to illustrate a gn but not write one there are many agents on twitter so try dropping them an asking about this or if you know an artist who only does the art and doesn t write the stories drop them an and ask them how they applied for an agent the agent process for me personally was unusual this is because some months ago a publisher had reached out to me first asking if i d be interested in publishing a gn of my original characters i asked around and was advised by everyone to first go look for an agent so because i already had publisher interest it basically bumped up my query to the top of the agent s list their whole job is to find a publisher for you so if they know that publishers are already interested in your work they will be more inclined to sign you i heard back from every agent i queried and then hopped on the phone with them in the end i found that the azantian literary agency was the best match for me google them if u re interested in querying or researching what a query form looks like my agent jen has put useful bullet points on the submissions page that can guide you about what goes into a query there are other very good agencies out there too ps literary inkwell management off the top of my head you can find many top 10 lists on google about good agencies and good agents do your own investigation before choosing the ones you ll apply to the waiting game is insane when it comes to applying to agents i will absolutely not sugar coat this many agents have thousands of queries that they re going through at any given time it could take months before they get to yours rejection is common so don t be disheartened and try again keep in mind that if you get an american agent they will look for work for you in america cuz that is the industry they know if you want work in your own country you can try finding a local agent tho for real go for those american jobs you ll make so much more money cuz of the exchange rate how do i sell my merch there are many services that print your art and ship it for you so you won t need to do that yourself these services are also based in america so you don t have to worry about international shipping fees and mail getting lost our postal systems are trash i know i use teepublic personally the drawback is that you earn a very small amount from each sale if a print is 30 you will make 5 off it but still it s better than nothing it s up to you to consider if it s worth it it was worth it for me cuz i don t need to put in the labour of searching for a printer getting tests packing the art and mailing it myself teepublic links to payoneer as well what should i price my commercial art at this is super tricky and i m not sure i have an answer for you every single job is so different i would personally recommend to seek out an artist who has done a job similar to the one you re considering or if someone has asked you to work for them and ask them how much they charge https twitter com litebox_info is a twitter account that keeps a spreadsheet of competitive industry prices that ppl have been paid in the past the link is in their pinned tweet so check it out this is another reason why i would recommend applying for an agent they know industry prices and will fight for the best rates for you how do i contact an art director so i ve personally never had to contact an art director the way my career has gone i make most my money from commissions from twitter and patreon if you do want to contact art directors my friend anoosha has a great video for it https www youtube com watch v aneikinm 7e a lot of it does only apply to americans but it s still very useful if someone reading this is from a 3rd world country and wants me to add their experiences of contacting ads please let me know and i will add your info here if theres something i ve missed out that you would like me to talk about ple...
