Illustration work at home

You must be confused by the title? How can making stupid drawings at home make me money? How can a fifteen or twenty minute session scribbling on the paper makes me somewhat three to five grand a year. Well, even though how stupid it sounds many people has made it their profession and are earning way over the ten grand mark a year.

So the question now comes in, how and what exactly do you have to do to make this money? What are the skills required and how to put the creativity in action? Easy, you just have to use your imagination and come up with drawings. What exactly will these drawing be? Standardized stuff such as mascots, characters, occasional/festive related stuff like bells, toys, tools etcetera. So will making these drawings on paper do? Well, if you are looking for around making a grand a year then yes, else you’ll have to vectorize the drawings you make via Photoshop or Illustrator. As hard as it sounds, it is really not that hard. You just have to work up with a few tutorials and vectorization articles and you’ll be done.

Now, the questions coming up in your minds would be what to do after sketching and vectorization? Well, easy….Sell it. Where to sell? There are a lot of places. You can sell your sketches directly via many of the Marketplace forums like DigitalPoint, Sitepoint and V7N forums. Also you can put it up for sale at istockphoto where you get a certain percentage of the sale made of your design. Ways of monetizing your creative ideas is very easy, and you can use these designs to build a portfolio and may be you could get custom orders. And to be remembered when you get a custom order you also gets paid heavily for it. I have come across many designers charging about $500 – $800 for a mascot/character design. If they can get so much money, why not you?

Think about the possibilities for a while and make your choice.
