Book illustration quotation-how much does it cost to publish a 16 300-page photography book with inserts? How much is the cost of each book?

How much does it cost to draw illustrations for the publishing house? One _ Underarm gingivitis, can two months make me a master? Answer: dreaming.

Some students are very cute and asked me if I could learn illustration quickly, which is the kind that can become a master in one step, just like the internal force of the characters teaching martial arts in Jin Yong's martial arts drama. Generally, it is best to spend one month, and two months at most. For some students, I can only say that I have watched too many TV dramas. Let's calm down. You think this is a child playing house. Of course, if you are a genius among geniuses, it may come true. But most of us are ordinary people, and we all need to learn basic skills in a down-to-earth manner and improve step by step. If you want to learn illustration, it will take at least four months. So if students really want to learn illustration, or want to understand illustration, they should calm down and study hard, and don't always think about things that are out of tune. Only real things can produce the best results, and those without logic can only be empty dreams.

Second, the collision between subject and subject. What others say is nonsense, you will understand after your own experience.

Many students study illustration, but they don't know whether to study online courses or in physical schools. There are good and bad online courses and good and bad physical schools. Judging from the current situation, the economic expenditure of sports schools is generally three to four times that of online courses. Why is this? Because the cost of sports school is very high, and the cost of online courses is very low compared with sports school, so if your family has mines, you can choose to study in sports school. If you are short of money and have no time, you can only study in your spare time in the evening, then you can study in the online class.

What others say about where to study is nonsense, and you will understand it after your own experience. Of course, if students want to experience it, they must have experienced it. From my personal experience, I study illustration online because I have to work during the day and have no time to go to the sports school. Online classes are taught at night. I went to the online class, and the free live lecture started at 8 o'clock every night. A lot of what the teacher said is dry goods in painting, as well as the analysis of the industry, which greatly broadened my thinking. I also took a lot of notes seriously, which greatly improved my painting ability. Of course, everyone can listen. Students who want to listen can go to their original painting course textbook, the skirt of board painting illustration: the number at the beginning is: 239, then the number in the middle is: 869, and finally. Just combine the above three groups of numbers in order. Listen to the teacher's class first to see if you are suitable for this industry. I just like studying. Don't always give yourself all kinds of psychological burdens and restrictions. You should try to tap your potential. You are no worse than others. Believe in yourself and work hard for the future.

How can I become an excellent illustrator? With standards, we can work hard.

Drawing this thing is actually starting from scratch. There is a quick genius, but I have never heard of a master who can do it overnight. It's just that some people stop learning painting and stay at the stage of zero foundation. Some people insist on learning painting, and their level will always improve, and one day they will become popular gods in the eyes of others. If you want to become an excellent professional illustrator from scratch, the following points are necessary!

1. Interest is a beginner's teacher and a gift from heaven.

First of all, the most important thing in any profession is interest, especially creative mental work like illustrator. As the saying goes: interest is the best teacher! Many people may have embarked on the road of illustrators with the hope of freedom and high salary, but their interest failed to keep them going. Why did April, a famous illustrator and picture book writer in China, become the first illustrator in Japan? Because of her love, she persisted for more than ten years and finally let everyone see her achievements. Therefore, interest is the first step to become an illustrator, and it is also the motivation and dream to persist on this road. Interest gives you a unique aesthetic and artistic appreciation.

You must know the illustrations.

The definition of illustration is very broad. Book magazine illustration, animation game illustration, advertising illustration, etc., I didn't give examples, all belong to the work scope of illustrators. Read more works by traditional illustrators (such as Natsume, Biazli and escher) and famous modern illustrators (such as Kurada Eno, Yoshitaka Amano, MenXiao Lei and Huang Jiawei). Looking at the origin, change and development of illustration in history, it is easier for you to understand what the unchanging essence of illustration is in the process of change and how much you have to do to grasp the essence of illustration.

3. Take stock of your hobbies and skills.

After reading a lot of illustrators' works, think carefully about what your favorite style is and set a goal. At the same time, recognize what your strengths and weaknesses are now, and make a plan to allocate time to skill points. For example, if you think you really want to draw characters, you must put a lot of skills into the study of human perspective and painting style.

4. Handy hand-drawing ability and excellent software operation.

Secondly, it is useless to talk about dreams, because it is impossible to return empty-handed. The most important thing is to master the ability of hand-drawing, and be able to use some design software independently, such as Photoshop, EasyPaintToolSAIIllustrator, etc. The study of these softwares, whether self-study or class, should be skillfully used. In addition to mastering these illustration software, you also have certain understanding and communication skills. Usually, you can look at the illustrations of some great gods and calm down to appreciate the charm of these works, including creativity, color and composition.

Four _ You can't learn illustration by reading, but reading can inspire you.

If you want to learn illustration, you can also read the following books, which will inspire your thinking, but it is difficult to learn illustration simply by reading books. After all, books are dead, and our problems are alive and always appear. You can watch online videos and books together, which will get twice the result with half the effort.

Hello. What is the market price for drawing a picture for others, like a small illustration in a book? I'm drawing now, and I don't know the price of comics in groups of 4 squares. Generally, it is about 100 yuan, and one page (A4) costs 400 ~ 500 yuan.

Although the small illustration is not long, if the paper used is A4, it should be paid the same.

Of course, this is not the price of a masterpiece. Famous artists' specials (invitations) are much more expensive, and only they and the editorial department know about them. . .

How much does it cost to publish a 16 300-page illustrated photo book? How much is the cost of each book? If it is full color, the price is higher. If it is black and white, the price will be lower.

The expenses mainly include:

The ISBN management fee of publishing house is about 1.2- 1.5 million.

Editing and proofreading cover design typesetting fee: about 5,000 yuan.

The printing cost depends on the number of copies you print and whether it is full color. According to full-color printing 1000 copies, the printing cost is about more than 20 thousand. The more copies printed, the higher the total printing cost, but the lower the single copy cost. If 1000 copies are printed in black and white, the printing cost is about 16000.

So the total cost should be around thirty-three thousand. If you count 1000 copies, the cost of each copy is around 33 yuan.

In terms of printing, printing 1000 volumes is relatively small. If 5000 copies are printed in black and white, the total cost is about 60,000, and the cost per copy is about 12 yuan, which will reduce the cost per copy a lot.
