Digital Illustrator

As a digital illustrator, you create artwork on a computer or tablet for books, games, advertising, websites, and more. Day to day, you sketch, paint, and refine images using software and a drawing tablet, bringing ideas, characters, and stories to life visually. You might work on a children's book one week and a video game character the next. You often collaborate with clients, art directors, writers, or game designers who describe what they need, then you translate those ideas into finished art. The work blends creativity with technical skill, along with plenty of revisions to get each piece just right.
