What belongs to the creative professions. Professions related to creativity, modern types and features
Filmmaker
Film director - the director who directs the production of the film.
Fr. r? gisseur, from lat. rego - I manage.
Features of the profession
The filmmaker is a key figure in the filmmaking process, as it is he who is responsible for the artistic level of the film.
Usually the director does the following:
· Chooses a script (often writes it himself or participates in writing);
· Defines the general artistic style of the film;
· Supervises the work of artists (costumes, decorators, etc.);
· Selects actors;
· Directs the actors both from the point of view of mise-en-scène and from the point of view of the manner of playing and other means of expression;
· Supervises the work of operators;
· Supervises the editing of the film.
In modern cinema, the producer plays an important role. And in some cases, he determines both the concept of the future film and its style, based on commercial considerations. Therefore, we can say that in modern cinema there are two directions: directing (author's) cinema and production.
The brightest world examples of modern director's (author's) cinema are in the works of Federico Fellini, Francois Truffaut, Woody Allen, Ingmar Bergman and others.
In Soviet cinema: Andrei Tarkovsky, Kira Muratova, Dinara Asanova, Georgy Danelia, etc.
In modern Russian: Larisa Sadilova, Gennady Sidorov, etc.
Cinema can be divided into three main genres: fiction, documentary, and animation (animation).
Each of them has its own direction of direction.
The founder of feature films is the director Georges Méliès, and the documentary is the Lumiere Brothers. Self-taught engineer Emile Reino is the creator of the first cartoon.
Cinema is an expressive way of telling an interesting story. And each director has his own means of expression.
Workplace
The director works under a contract with a film studio or production center, which not only ensures uninterrupted work on the film (financing, administration), but also then deals with its promotion to the market.
Important qualities
Artistic vision, creative imagination, organizational skills, love of cinema.
Knowledge and skills
Knowledge of all the processes of making a film. Ability to work with actors and other participants in the process, the ability to work with a script and implement it on the set. Wide erudition, in particular in the field of cinema.
Film producer
Film producer(from the English. produce- produce) - a specialist in administrative and financial support for the creation of a film.
Features of the profession
In general terms, the work of a film producer can be described in several points.
The producer finds or is offered an idea for a new film. He develops it, thinks over how much money will be required for its implementation, finds sources of funding, invites a screenwriter, director, actors, provides advertising and promotion of the film in film distribution.
As for the relationship with the director, it can be built in different ways. When it comes to auteur cinema, the director is in the foreground. He or the screenwriter owns the idea, he thinks over the concept of the film himself, and the producer only helps him to make this film.
The paragraph with sources of funding requires a special explanation. Experts note that the essence of a film producer's work depends on the model by which he works. There are two models of cinematography: commercial and budget.
Commercial cinema is profit-oriented. This model is valid where film distribution is so developed that it can bring significant profits. The leader among such countries is the United States. The budget model focuses on supporting film projects from the budget. To a large extent, Russian cinematography lives on a budgetary basis. And there is a colossal difference between a film producer in a cinema that lives by the laws of commerce and a cinema that enjoys budgetary support.
Commercial option means rental income. Budgetary - profit from what can be attracted from the state budget or sponsors. The more money can be saved from the attracted money, the more profit from the project for the producer himself. Profit from rental takes a back seat.
However, commercial cinematography is also developing in Russia, which means that we also have producers working according to the classical (commercial) scheme.
What kind of film producers are there?
A producer can work on behalf of a studio (studio producer) or by himself (independent producer).
The studio producer has the money available to the studio. An independent producer is looking for funding, advertising, rental issues.
In addition, it is necessary to solve a lot of organizational and technical issues in the course of making a film, and one person cannot cope with such a wave of worries. Therefore, in addition to the main (general) producer, the executive and line producers also work on the film.
General producer(executive producer) focuses on attracting technical means, concluding contracts with creative employees (screenwriter, director, actors, etc.), distributors. He also determines the approximate size of the film's budget.
But first, the idea of the film. Based on it, the general producer decides which director to attract, what funding will be, etc. Sometimes several general producers work on a film. One is working on the idea, offers it to different studios, the other is raising money, the third is looking for a suitable director, screenwriter, etc.
Executive producer(producer) is sometimes needed on large projects. He manages the process at the top level: monitors the spending of funds, concludes contracts with personnel, suppliers of materials, equipment, and even delves into creative issues. But all this, without going into the technical details, the daily routine of the filming process, dubbing, etc. Therefore, the executive producer can lead several projects at once. It happens that all these functions are performed by the general producer. And in small film companies, the scriptwriter can take on this role.
Line producer(line producer, unit production manager) - on the contrary, deals with specific organizational issues, providing the work of a creative group. He also monitors compliance with the work schedule. We can say that it is the line producer who is the direct project manager.
Sometimes producers are appointed who are responsible for an even narrower segment of the work. For example, an administrative producer might be hiring freelance workers for various jobs during the production of a film.
I must say that the work of a producer in a movie has a lot in common with what a TV producer does. Although television has its own characteristics.
Producers versus directors
The profession of producer emerged in Hollywood in the 1910s with the transformation of cinema into a serious industry. At the same time, there was also a confrontation between the production department and the director's department. The producer views each film as a commercial project, and he sees in advance how the film should turn out. The director's vision may be completely different. A famous example is producer David Selznick and his film Gone With the Wind. This film based on the novel of the same name is notable not only for being one of the first color films. He is considered one of the highest grossing in film history, and Selznick himself is one of the most successful Hollywood producers. This film earned him his first Oscar. For this success, Selznick changed four directors during the production process.
On the other hand, the dictates of the producer are not always successful.
The confrontation between producers and directors continues to this day. However, there are many examples when the producer does not dictate his vision to the film crew, but only helps to realize the director's plan.
And it happens that the producer opens the world to a bright director with his own style. And this is one of the facets of a film producer's talent. There are also examples of a successful combination of directing and producing activities. For example, Steven Spielberg is an actor, director and producer. He has directed over 40 films and produced over 120. Robert Zemeckis has more than 20 directing and more than 35 production jobs. There are such examples in Russian cinema: Valery Todorovsky, Fyodor Bondarchuk and others.

Features of the profession
The profession of a cameraman is more male than female, because, among other things, he has to handle the camera, which is often quite heavy, and also do all sorts of "stunt tricks" when shooting, because sometimes you have to work very hard to achieve the desired effect. You also need good physical preparation for business trips, shooting night shots and long hours of waiting for the necessary lighting effects in nature.
The cameraman combines the artistic and technical components of the film. He seems to be painting a film with the help of light, sometimes working with such a huge number of lighting fixtures that they can occupy several times more area than the shot itself. All these devices are operated by a whole team led by a cameraman, and for this he also needs to have high management potential. The director decides what to show in the next scene, the cameraman decides how to show it, and decides it in practice. That is, in fact, he is the artist of the film.
Knowing well examples from the history of cinema, painting and art photography, as well as having developed his own artistic style, the cameraman is responsible for the image of the film, the artistic unity of all film frames and scenes, the visual impression left by him, because sometimes it is enough to watch a couple of far from the most recognizable frames. to understand which motion picture they are from. With the help of composition, color, light and texture of the frame, the cameraman helps to show all the ideas of the scriptwriter and director, and often he himself finds a creative solution to a particular scene and reaches its maximum expressiveness.
In his work, the cameraman uses the most unexpected things in order to create the effect of rain when there is no rain, the effect of shadows sweeping past the trees in the train car, when in fact the scene is filmed indoors, the beautiful effect of the moonlight when it is day outside. And what is only night shooting, when, in no way disturbing the impression of pitch darkness, conceived according to the script, it is necessary to separate the movie characters from the background and, in addition, to show their emotions. The viewer should not guess that behind the frame that he sees, there is a huge number of all kinds of devices and tricks, he should think that all the beauty that is happening in front of his eyes is natural and everything was in fact.
The cameraman takes an active part in the film editing stage, monitoring the quality of the editing work done and color correction. At this stage, it is important not to lose any artistic effect that affects the image of the whole picture.

The cameraman works in tandem with the director in various film companies and in private projects. A workplace can be both a studio and city streets, any natural landscapes, business trips to different parts of the world to shoot a film in certain interiors and natural conditions are frequent.

He also knows how the cuts are done and what material needs to be shot for each scene. In addition, the cinematographer knows the history of cinema and art photography, and he also cannot do without knowledge of the history of painting, which helps him find his own handwriting in creating the overall composition of the film.
Projectionist
Projectionist - film demonstrator in the cinema
Features of the profession
The workplace is separated from the cinema hall by a wall with a window through which the film is projected onto the screen.
This is the control room with the cinema projectors. A more archaic name is the projection booth.
The job of a projectionist requires technical literacy. Modern cinemas have mostly switched to digital technology. In particular, for showing films in 3D format. And this means that a modern projectionist also needs to master new technology.
This has its advantages. First, it's just interesting. Secondly, the chemical composition of the film is unsafe for health. Especially if you are in the same room with her all day. Film smell is the smell of a film projectionist's workplace.
The projectionist not only demonstrates films, but also monitors the equipment.
In modern cinemas with multiple screens, the mechanic can service them all alone. New technologies make it possible. With the old pre-digital technology, it was necessary to carefully synchronize the sound with the image and carefully monitor the film in the projectors, so that, as soon as it ends in one, the second and then the third one immediately start. The entire film consisted of three reels of film, and it was necessary to try so that the audience did not notice the transition from one part to another.
Usually, projectionists work in shifts. A shift is one working day of the cinema: from the beginning of the first session to the end of the last one. No lunch breaks.

Icon painter
Icon painter (iconographer, model painter, icon scribe) is a painter specializing in the creation of icons.
icon(from Wed-Greek. eikon- picture) + pis a be
Features of the profession
An Orthodox icon is a sacred image made in the tradition of Eastern Christianity, symbolizing the image of Jesus Christ, the Mother of God, any saint or an event from sacred or church history.
From the point of view of art critics, the icon is a work of Christian (mainly Orthodox) easel painting for cult purposes.
From the point of view of theology, the material and manufacturing technique does not matter.
The church only regulates the content, composition, color and light, the attributes of the saints. Therefore, icons can be mosaic, embroidered, cast, carved, etc.
All of them can be sacred images, have the same content, purpose, and were often created by the same masters.
The icon is a work of church liturgical art.
From the point of view of Orthodox worship, it has the same meaning as the Gospel.
The earliest surviving icons were created in the 6th century in Byzantium.
Over the centuries, the artistic principles of the Orthodox icon have become established in the form of canonical norms.
In 1551, the Stoglavy Cathedral formulated these norms. The icon of Andrei Rublev was declared the standard of canonicity at the same time.
Although this does not exclude the diversity of icon painting styles (schools) that have developed in different localities.
According to church tradition, an icon painter, unlike an artist, is viewed not as the author of a specific image, but as a conductor of divine truth.
In Orthodoxy, there is a special liturgical form of initiation into icon painters, which is not the case for representatives of crafts working for the needs of the church.
Today, interest in the Russian Orthodox icon is growing. Many churches are being built and restored in Russia and in other countries.
Workplace
The icon painter's workplace is an icon painting workshop.
Important qualities
An icon painter is not just a craftsman who has mastered icon painting technique. This profession requires a vocation, religious giftedness (and not everyone has it).

Such clothes were supposed to combine beauty, practicality and usefulness. Modern design keeps up with the times and meets the changing lifestyle of people, their needs. Over time, customer preferences and trends change, both in materials and in the quality of clothing.

Decor is an art of style. The wonderful goal of the decorator profession is to make people's lives beautiful and harmonious.
The profession of a decorator is often compared to that of a designer. But such a comparison is incorrect: a decorator creates a unique interior for a specific order, in which, nevertheless, his creative individuality is manifested, and the designer provides ideas for mass production. The decorator does not delve into the technical aspects of redevelopment of premises, does not change the geometry of the space, but creates an image, filling it with his own idea and unique content, embodied in materials, objects, things. Without drastic changes, the decorator can create a completely new atmosphere of the space. Skillful decoration can correct any imperfections and problems. A decorator can effectively use a cramped space, inventively decorate a window, choose an original color combination, arrange furniture in an apartment functionally and beautifully, transform an interior with textiles, figurines, vases, decorative candles. Lamps give special comfort, warmth and beauty to interior items. They create a real miracle, creating intrigue, highlighting and emphasizing decorative plaster and stucco with shadows.
As a rule, the decorator's ideas should be in tune and harmonious with the inner world of the customer, but at the same time, the individuality of the decorator himself is clearly manifested in them. A fresh extraordinary idea of a professional can unrecognizably change the style of the house, form a new image and affect the life status.
Decorators' interiors are, first of all, cocktails of ideas that make any room unique in shape, texture, color and light. The decorator acts not only as an artist, but also as a psychoanalyst. He knows the psychological and physiological effects of flowers on humans. For example, some shades of blue have a depressing effect on people in a residential interior, and the predominance of red increases blood pressure. In the modern world, the profession of a decorator is in demand more than ever. A decorator can turn an ordinary interior into a work of art, in which everyone can feel like a hero of a wonderful story.

Makeup Artist (Makeup Artist)
The make-up artist is a master who owns the art of transforming an actor's appearance with the help of paints, stickers and other tricks.
From the Old Italian. grimo- wrinkled.
Features of the profession
The make-up artist works with the face of the actor, and sometimes, if necessary for the role, picks up a wig, mustache, etc.
A specialist in the manufacture of wigs, false beards and mustaches is called a master (from the French postiche - artificial, fake). Therefore, a make-up artist is also called a make-up artist. Although most often, post-production products are prepared in special workshops. The make-up artist, developing the make-up for the future performance, orders the necessary wigs and so on.
The art of the make-up artist is in demand wherever there is a need to somehow modify the appearance. In theater and cinema, the make-up artist helps the actor to work on the image.
Even before the start of the performance or the filming process, he thinks over all the necessary details of the make-up so that the result matches the director's intention.
You have to take into account the silhouette of the face, the characteristic features, the features of the costume, the lighting that is planned to be used on the stage or on the set.
Make-up can be picturesque and plastic (volumetric).
Painterly makeup can seriously change the appearance, emphasize some features by adding new ones. Combined with a glued on eyebrow or mustache, it gives a great effect. But the pinnacle of make-up art is plastic make-up. He is able to make a person completely unrecognizable, turning him into someone else.
When the film "Thank you for being alive" about Vladimir Vysotsky was released, the film crew and producers kept the name of the leading actor a secret for some time. The intrigue was a success, because without a hint it was almost impossible to recognize the actor Sergei Bezrukov in the main character.
Regardless of whether the makeup is painted or plastic, it must make the face bright so that its details can be seen from the gallery.
However, makeup is not a mask. By changing his appearance, he preserves the actor's ability to express feelings with facial expressions. Without this, acting is impossible.
When the performance or shooting is over, you need to take off the makeup, peel off the beards (they are attached with special glue or mastic), put them in special boxes, pull the wigs onto special blanks. The make-up artist monitors their condition, and when they wear out, orders new ones.
On television, it would be more correct to call a make-up artist a make-up artist or just a make-up artist. The make-up artist conjures over the appearance of TV presenters and guests of the studio, but his task is not to transform a person, but to emphasize the dignity of his appearance and conceal flaws.
Workplace
The make-up artist can work in the theater, circus, film and television studios.
Important qualities
The make-up profession requires a creative attitude, artistic ability, good visual memory, fine color perception, good fine motor skills. As well as contact, friendliness, accuracy.

From this brief listing, it can be understood that wherever we go, we will surely see various works of graphic design everywhere. The profession of a graphic designer has several directions, and one designer can work either in one of them, or combine two or three directions. Let's consider them.
Space graphic design. These are signs and signs by which a person navigates in an urban environment, in shopping and business centers. All kinds of signs on the doors, road signs, signs of various kinds of goods in stores, and the like. The subway map, for example, is also a work of graphic design. The main thing in this area is to ensure that the sign is read in a second, and the scheme is as convenient as possible for the perception of information.
Corporate identity and branding. Each firm wants to have its own style that will be recognized by clients and buyers. Each manufacturer wants to attract maximum attention to their product and sell it by packing it in stylish and informative packaging. The graphic designer develops the company logo and logo, recommends certain fonts and corporate colors, recognizable graphic elements, and then creates all the style items, including presentation kits and various printing products. And also he necessarily draws up a guide on using the created style for everyone who will work on advertising this company, its product or service.
Development of fonts Is a special area of graphic design. Here the designer creates readable text fonts that last long and are least influenced by fashion, yet each font has its own character. Font creation imposes a huge number of rules on the creator, but despite this, designers from time to time manage to create something new in this area. In addition, type designers create a variety of decorative fonts that are rapidly changing in fashion.
Advertising design. Advertisers are engaged in the development of effective communications between the seller and the buyer, for this they research the market, target audience and issue a series of advertising concepts. But to implement these concepts, they turn to a graphic designer who visualizes their advertising ideas. And sometimes it is visualization that plays a rather large role in advertising.
Design of books, magazines and newspapers... In the publishing house of a glossy magazine, the designer develops the layout grid and the style of each heading, depending on its nature, draws graphic elements, monitors the correct formatting of text and framing images, and works on the cover. In a book publishing house, he also works on the style of publication, taking into account the requirements of GOST and fashion trends in book design.
Design for the web. Graphic designers in this area are engaged in the creation of Internet sites, banners, making the virtual environment as user-friendly as possible and at the same time aesthetic. The design of the site and Internet banners is included in the development of the company's corporate identity and is prescribed in the style guide. At the same time, a graphic designer does not have to be proficient in website layout technologies, except for those cases when he narrowly specializes in this particular area. But in any case, he must know the rules for creating a virtual graphics space.
Workplace
Graphic designers work for design studios, branding and advertising agencies, publishers, and any government or private firm that wants to employ their own designer.

Actor
An actor is a professional performer of diverse roles in performances, films, commercials, video clips.
Profession actor is one of the most ancient. The shamans also staged performances for the entire tribe. As an art, acting originated in Ancient Greece and was considered a very prestigious occupation. However, Medieval Europe considered the play of actors to be demonic, and in Russia it was even dangerous to be an actor. The church persecuted actors, jesters, buffoons. Church ministers could destroy musical instruments, and performers beaten or imprisoned. It wasn't until the Renaissance that the attitude towards acting changed.
Acting art is constantly evolving. Until the beginning of the 20th century, the actors' play was dominated by stereotypes, one-sidedness of characters and types. The revolution in this profession was made by the founder of the Moscow Art Theater, director KS Stanislavsky (1863 - 1938). He is the creator of the famous acting system, the so-called Stanislavsky system, the goal of which is to achieve the maximum psychological reliability of the game. Stanislavsky called on the actors to feel what the hero feels, to experience genuine experiences to convey authentic emotions on stage. For more than a hundred years, Stanislavsky's famous acting system has been immensely popular in Russia and around the world, and the director's phrase “I don’t believe!” became winged.
Nowadays, the acting profession is popular and coveted. Many are attracted by fame, wealth and an interesting life. However, few people understand how thorny is the path to achieving your goal, and no one can guarantee that it is you who will achieve success in this field. There are many graduates of theatrical universities, but only a small percentage of them become famous and highly paid. Young actors have to make their way under the sun, gradually earning fame. There are, of course, the lucky ones who were noticed, and they woke up famous overnight. For them, the things for which they studied and for which they aspired will gradually begin to come true.
The basis of acting is the principle of reincarnation. This reincarnation can be external and internal. In the first case, the actor uses makeup, costumes, masks, develops intonation, facial expressions, gestures. In the second case, the actor needs to reveal the spiritual world of his hero, show his character, convey thoughts and feelings. The main goal of any actor is to influence the audience emotionally.

Ehey, hello everyone! Roman is in touch again and today I would like to tell you about what exist professions in which drawing skills will be useful to you in order to plunge into this world of creativity with your head.
This post prompted me to write the fact that I myself came to the idea, like: "I can draw and be a creative person", through the "emergency", ie without painting.
Here is how it was...
In early 2014, I had just returned from the army and decided that I wanted to make my own website with blackjack and ... well, in general, I wanted to learn how to draw through the lessons that I translated and published on it.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, my idea was not crowned with success and I once again became disillusioned with the dream of becoming a cool artist and drawing popular art. And then, firstly, I wanted to prove to myself that I could earn and exist by engaging in creative activity, and secondly, I thought that I could still enter the “drawing” industry, but not from the front, but from the reserve gear.
And my decision was to get a job somewhere as a designer, since I knew Photoshop well, and with Corel Draw I learned to work in the army. And I got a job in a book publishing house, a place where there was "its own atmosphere" and ... I liked it.
Thus, I "designed" until I again felt the urge to draw and began to do this business with renewed vigor.
What I want to say with this story. If you want to learn how to draw, become a comics artist, paint pictures, or much more, but attempts to go head-on do not work, then try to work in this area in the position in which you can. Plunge into the atmosphere, meet creative people, cultivate new skills, and do what you love.
There are assistants, editors, layout designers, gallery owners, animators and many other specialties that will help you: firstly, gain experience, secondly, immerse yourself in the "world" of your goal, and thirdly, meet new people who will always help you if you have similar goals.
Ahem, and now directly to the professions themselves.
Skill Level - Beginner
Skill Level - Medium
Skill level - high
Skill Level - Beginner
Let's start with those in which, in my opinion, drawing is not particularly necessary, but if you have basic skills and are drawn to creativity and creativity, then there you can snatch your part of the glory.
Gallery owner- is an expert in the field of fine arts, a profession for those who may not particularly like to draw, but loves art very much. He knows a lot about styles, authors, eras, knows how to distinguish an original from a copy, a masterpiece from a low-quality work. The gallery owner can easily organize an exhibition of any level, invite celebrities there and can persuade them to buy the works for sale. First of all, this is a person who appreciates art, and not who produces it.
You can study for this specialty in almost every university where there is a department of cultural studies or art history. But the most prestigious and respected are:
- Russian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture (RAZHVIZ).
- Moscow State University (MSU).
- Institute for the History of Cultures (formerly UNIK).
- MGUKI.
Designer (graphic)- in modern society, a person who has a good command of graphic packages, is able to make high-quality advertising material, assemble a collage, prepare printed products for printing and who knows the laws of color, composition and behavioral factors. Someone might say: “How is it that a designer is not obliged to draw? I have to! ”, No, my dears, I myself worked as a designer and ... there is no smell of drawing there. The skill of high-quality collage is very much appreciated, everything is taken from Google or stocks, then assembled into several layouts, from which the customer approves something and this is further refined.
You can study this specialty in many universities, but in fact, most designers do not have the appropriate education. They collected their portfolios from the lessons on the Internet, went to work and are already gaining real skills there. However, I'm talking about the majority, top designers are high-class people with specialist diplomas.
In addition to a graphic designer, in nature there are also a landscape designer and an interior designer, who also do not really need drawing skills for their work, but more skills in working with three-dimensional graphics editors.
3D Modeler- a demanded and rapidly growing specialty in a modern society. The modeler creates volumetric models of almost everything that can be imagined in the head: from buildings, equipment and people, to magical and fabulous animals, phenomena and measurements. Most modern games use 3D graphics, modelers create whole worlds in which we love to immerse ourselves so much. Also, three-dimensional graphics are used in most modern films.
This is the general name of the profession as it contains many specialties divided by goals: landscape modeler, character modeler, technique modeler, etc.
Officially, this profession is taught:
- Good stuff on the topic: link
Skill Level - Medium
Calligrapher- a person with the skill of beautiful writing. It may seem that this is not such a "prestigious" profession, but people who can, practically without having tools, beautifully portray words are very much appreciated. And besides, the skill of calligraphy can be applied in combination with computer programs and ... well, that's how much popular brands pay to have their name written not in Arial, but in a beautiful and unique font. fonts - calligraphers ... modern calligraphers.
At the university "ah" calligraphy is taught in the specialty of graphic design, but at the first request, the search engine gives out many options where you can study online, both paid and free.
Engineer constructor- specialty aimed at creating drawings of objects. When designing, their drawing skill is needed like nowhere else, but there is no need to learn all the possible laws of drawing. A specialist of such a profile should have a good imagination, not create "dry" drawings, but translate his ideas into clear, practical schemes that will delight the eye.

Cartoonist Is an artist specializing in drawing funny and parody portraits, ironically or sarcastically depicting various events that caused a resonance in society. Yes, you yourself have probably seen more than once how artists sit in squares and parks and draw funny cartoons for denyuzhku. There are many cartoonists, but in order to make enough money on this, you need to become popular and famous so that the fame of you thunders in all sources, etc.
As a specialty, the university "s do not teach, however, on the Internet you can find quite a few lessons and courses on mastering this skill, but nevertheless, the main thing here is your desire and perseverance.
Fashion designer- on the one hand, this is a person engaged in the creation of sketches of new clothes, he comes up with new outfits and even entire collections of clothes, but also the artist-designer's circle of occupations includes the creation of a new concept of clothes in the form of sketches, the search for a design solution for the conceived model, the development of samples of new models and their preparation for industrial production, organization of fashion shows. In general, a lot. The profession is very exciting and creative.
- Generally a very good article on this topic. here.
Contouring artist (aka Inker) Is one of the two professions of an artist required to create comics. The contourer processes the images transmitted to him by drawing lines, tracing the pencil drawing, correcting minor flaws using either ink or (if he is working on a computer) the dark colors of the brushes. The contourer processes all lines of the drawing except the text. The profession is not considered entirely creative, but rather technological.
Unfortunately, I did not find a place to teach, or in any case it would be a discipline of one of the specialties.
- Useful wikipedia article
The skill level is high.
Here you will draw every single day ... unfortunately, or fortunately;)
Illustrator Is a specialist who creates pictures that convey the meaning of the text. Illustrators can work on books, newspapers, magazines, leaflets, and in general wherever you want to convey the "message". From many already established illustrators, you can hear that this profession is difficult, competitive and not highly paid (maybe they lie, who knows ...). But most choose this profession because they like to draw, and not for the sake of greed.
I don't even know what to say about what needs to be done "to become a good illustrator" ... probably to plow like a damn :)
They teach as an illustrator both in many universities, and on the Internet there are a huge number of courses and training materials. Google to help!
Graphic artist- a specialist who works only in one contrasting color and, as a rule, this color is black. The graphics for their work uses mainly ink or pencil. Just like an illustrator, a graphic artist is a professional for illustrating books, he can work with the fonts and text of the book. Working in a publishing house, a graphic artist usually deals with everything related to graphics, he is here both a designer, a layout designer, and an illustrator ... the main thing is that all this should be well paid :)
Where can you study for the specialty "Graphics":
- Moscow State University of Printing Arts Ivana Fedorov
- Russian State Specialized Academy of Arts
Painter- a specialist who creates paintings from nature. A painter can paint portraits, buildings, nature, and in general, whatever he sees, he will draw. In my opinion (and this is pure IMHO) all artists are obliged to painters for the glory of eternally hungry, but creative individuals. In modern society, painting is appreciated only, I apologize for the pun, by connoisseurs. People who can afford it, and not who would like a beautiful picture to be fun in the hallway, tend to buy paintings ... there are printers for that :) A painter is not a profession, not a job, it is a vocation.
You can study here:
- Moscow State Academy of Arts and Industry S. G. Stroganova
- Moscow State Academic Art Institute. IN AND. Surikova
- Ilya Glazunov Russian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture
- All-Russian State University of Cinematography named after S. A. Gerasimov
- State Academy of Slavic Culture
Copyist- a specialist who creates copies of paintings. Recently copyists are in great demand, because many people want to see Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" on their walls, but not everyone is able to pay for it, and the work of a copyist may not be the cheapest, but certainly cheaper than buying the original. There is very little information about this profession on the Internet, but we can say that it is one of the varieties of the artist-painter.
Restorer artist- a specialist who restores damaged paintings. Restorers can work in a variety of techniques and with a variety of materials, from paintings to icons. Since works of art are not eternal, and sometimes they are stored in not the most appropriate conditions, the specialty of a restorer is in rather great demand, however, there is such a great demand from a specialist.
The duties of the restorer include not only "drawing", but also a thorough and comprehensive study of the object of restoration, development of methods for carrying out restoration, selection of materials, documentation in the course of restoration work.
Portrait painter- a specialist who creates pictures with portraits of people. I have already mentioned earlier that a painter can paint portraits, but he, as they say, “little by little and nothing properly,” while the portraitist devotes himself entirely to drawing portraits and achieves high skill in this.
They do not teach, but learn to be a portrait painter, everyone masters this art by trial and error.
Cartoonist, animator- a specialist responsible for the creation of animated films and cartoons. Animation artist, this is the general name of the activity of a specialist in the creation of cartoons, but the animators themselves are divided among themselves into:
- Phaser artist (storyboard artist) - draws the phases between the various states of the scenes and the cartoon characters.
- Character Artist - creates a unique image of a cartoon character and accompanies the further development and use of this character in animation.
- Production designer - the main artist in the production of an animated film, determines the general style of the future work and exercises control over its production.
- Drawing Artist - creates clean frames for final use in the film based on existing developments.
There is also: contouring artist, background artist.
- Again, useful and detailed material
Colorist Is one of the two professions of an artist required to create comics. The colorist is responsible for adding color to a black and white picture. Before the advent of graphic software packages, colorists painted comics, cartoons, films, advertisements by hand, using traditional means of fine art. With the advent of powerful computers and programs, this profession gradually began to be associated with computer image processing.
Separately, the colorist is not taught, this knowledge is either taught as a standard discipline in most specialties or is studied independently in the process of using various tools, of which there are now a great many.
- Useful wikipedia article
Comicist- a specialist who creates comics. I have already mentioned two professions that are aimed at creating comics, "comics artist" - combines not only an inker and a colorist, but also a screenwriter, director, director and many other specialties that may be useful to him when creating a comic.
As such, the profession of a comics artist in Russia has not yet been formed, but there are people who draw comics, earn money on this, and this becomes the work of a lifetime, but no one has a special education “Comicsist”. Honestly, I don’t know if there are such graduates in the West either, but the fact that anyone can become a comics artist is an unambiguous fact. The main thing here is not to learn how to draw, but to learn how to present your story so that readers would like it.
Well, in general, this whole blog is built around mastering - this is a profession, so do not forget to subscribe to updates and study with me :)
Game artist Is a general concept that combines a large number of specialties related to the creation of digital graphics and its use in the production of games. The gaming industry has been rapidly gaining momentum in recent years in terms of the number of games produced per year, including all mobile games and games on social networks.

Fuh! That's probably all that I would like to consecrate in this article. Of course, behind the scenes (in drafts) there are still about a dozen professions and specialties that are somehow connected with drawing and graphics production, but ... not this time, and it turned out to be a bit long.
By the way, if thanks to this list you have decided on your future profession and decided where you will enter, then especially for students there is a service that performs their work for students... Check it out and use it for health, "get education" XD
Listen, if you think that I have forgotten something, well, maybe some cool specialty or profession, write about it in the comments so that I could add it to the article ... let's make a HUGE guide to professions together :)
For today, everyone, everyone is in a creative mood, friends!
In many professions there is an element of some kind of creativity. But there is a whole group of professions that are creative. For such specialties, talent is very important, without which it is impossible to develop in this area. The task of creative specialists is to create something new, based on already existing cultural values. A person who works in this area should rely more on his instinct, intuition and inner feelings, weeks on rational things.

Creative professions include such as musician, artist, sculptor, director, actor, writer, photographer, mass entertainer, fashion designer, journalist, presenter and many others. These professions are chosen by gifted people who can create fundamentally new things. Such professions are difficult to teach, although there are special schools and courses. People of art are always in demand.
People in creative professions have a special feeling: they have a personal approach, they see everything that happens in a special light and, most importantly, they know how to express themselves with the help of their specialty. Today, the creative professions have many points, and all of them are united by one quality - it is a useful activity using their creativity and special vision and thinking.
The professions in this area are fashionable, in demand and modern. Web designers, artists, animators, florists, stylists - hairdressers, journalists, photographers ...
