1. The works are required to be complete and not to be refined: try to pick the ones with high degree of completion. Good resume works don't require much. There are 10 pictures on your resume. There are problems with Zhang Zhang, and none of them is relatively complete. There are 5 pictures on his resume, some of them have problems, and basically every one has a high degree of completion. Who has more advantages over you? It is recommended to perfect the work to its own extreme, do a good job of typesetting, and make your pictures look attitude.

2. Seeking for expertise and not for broadness: it is recommended that only the character design should be placed in the original character painting, and only the scene design should be placed in the original scene painting.

3. Have style and have certain market competitiveness: At present, the homogenization of game art is particularly powerful, and all styles are similar throughout the text. It ’s best to open a gap between your design and the general one, so that the interviewer can see the "plasticity"

4. Make complete and systematic design: Compared with fragmented and incomplete design, works with system concept are more realistic

5. There is no need to prepare a map of the US publicity class: in the case of a company with senior experts, this kind of work is not yet available for new recruits with little experience. We don't need your "good" painting, but you need "idea". Good painting and design of peace meeting are two different things.

1. It is best not to spread the Internet, but to do a screening for each company, such as collecting more information about the company before submitting a resume, to do a comprehensive understanding, including the company's philosophy, business, environment and so on.

2. You can't use one resume for different companies. If you want to make a special resume for different companies, the company atmosphere is more rigorous, the resume style should be more rigorous. If it is a younger company team, the style can be slightly playful. a little.

3. In writing your own specialty or work ability, it is necessary to reflect the company's needs and focus, and other pens can be taken.

4. The delivery method is through the major recruitment websites (such as boss direct recruitment, 58 city, Zhilian recruitment, Dajie.com, Lagou.com); or the company's official website (such as NetEase Tencent and other big factories)

The general interview will let you do the test questions, you only need to go through the process of drawing yourself. In order to prevent the question from being on the spot, I said earlier that you must fully understand the company before you submit your resume. Then you should understand and analyze it in depth before the interview. What is the company ’s product and what is the style of the product? In this way, who are the service targets? Only by understanding these can we create a work that is more appealing to the interviewer when answering questions. If you are particularly nervous during the interview, do n’t think of anything to draw at once, do n’t panic. You can review the works you have painted. If there is anything related to the topic, you can create a little more and present it. It may well be an emergency method.

The normal performance of the interview mainly shows that you have a certain degree of self-confidence and self-knowledge, a gentle and humble attitude, a certain teamwork ability, and like to communicate with others. Others are just fine. Generally, the interviewer will not deliberately make trouble. There is no need for hypocrisy to do this, others only care about the level of your work.

1. Interns and regular employees do as much work, internships are not fun. To get used to the rhythm of work, make plans every day, and distinguish them according to their priorities. Solve the most difficult problems in the best time period of your mental state. Complete the work on time to ensure the progress and quality of your work.

2. Maintain peace-level and superior communication and exchange. The company is a place that needs communication and cooperation. It is not recommended to be too lonely. Learn to be responsible for the collective and don't avoid problems.

3. Stay calm and do n’t get too nervous or do n’t leave me alone. It is normal to have stress in the beginning, because you are surrounded by unfamiliar surroundings. When you are tired, go out and take a step to change your mood. Take a good rest at noon.

Freelance: There is a firm determination not to come out at home, you can become a freelance worker. Then you need the ability to be unique, that is, the ability to complete the work independently and maintain a stable creation. You need a lot of practice, a lot of practice means you need a lot of time. A lot of time means that you need to continue to maintain the positive attitude of creating, that is, to paint with a "play" attitude.

Order picking: First of all, you need to be able to pass the painting and have a certain popularity. To open various platform accounts (microblogging, half dimension, lofter, etc.), and send pictures continuously, after a certain amount of fans are accumulated, you can naturally receive orders. If the painting is good but not popular at the moment, you can go to the professional manuscript platform such as Rice Painter to make an appointment.

Note: It is not recommended to take orders when the level is not very good, it will make your mentality easily collapse, then don't mention more practice. You can set a topic for yourself to draw, for example, use FGO characters to draw a set of virtual topics such as Tarot cards, and stipulate that you complete them within a certain time. Gradually, when you can be alone, you can try to pick the list, or the list will come to you.

Again, do n’t be greedy to take orders outside of your ability!

The major recruitment websites are the most direct way to find part-time jobs. You can find relevant job requirements by searching for keywords related to painting on the recruitment website.

Mi Painter: A service platform for painter appointments, tailored for planners and freelance painters, with a relatively complete process. For example, the game company splits and releases the demand, and the painter bids and signs the contract through quotation. Both parties can directly communicate and review the work on the platform to complete the delivery.

Half Dimension: A vertical community with two dimensions. You can post your own information in the "Contract Information House" column, and your customers will contact you if there is a "phase".

Zhanku: A comprehensive "designer community", a gathering place for young creative design crowds such as Chinese designers, teachers and students of art schools, and trendy artists. Customers are mainly companies, remember to post a lot of works, customers will come to your door.

Graffiti Kingdom: Relatively speaking, the customers of publishing houses and magazines are mostly in demand, and their styles are more literary and artistic.

Orange Light: You can become a painter on the Orange Light material trading platform, and you can publish works including standing painting, background, CG cover, UI, etc., and the quotation and sales volume are clear at a glance.

Pig Bajie: a service crowdsourcing platform, service transaction categories cover creative design, website construction, network marketing, copywriting planning, life services and other industries. You can search for orders in the comic industry, animation industry, design industry and other categories;

Freelancer: Freelancer refers to those who convert their wisdom, knowledge, ability, and experience into actual income through the Internet. Similar to Zhubajie.com, you can find a job that you can do in the "design task" in the freelancer;

In addition to these platforms, you can also search for relevant information and post relevant information on social networking sites such as Tieba, Weibo, and communities. You can also open stores on e-commerce platforms such as Taobao and sell your works online, but this requires more effort to study e-commerce content.

OK, that's all for the Japanese illustration / manga industry. All in all, as an industry that measures talents by art professional level, the most important thing is the work level. If your level is not good at all, don't think about how much money you want to earn in which line you want to enter. This is as if you and I were mad at Tsinghua University or Peking University. ! !

So still that sentence, on the basis of solid painting skills, remember to publish your works on various platforms and accumulate a certain popularity, then many opportunities will naturally come to the door ~
