Work from home illustrators create images for print and digital publications, books, and other art mediums using an array of media and techniques. Your responsibilities as a home-based illustrator include understanding what kind of visuals your client needs, either to express an idea or to match the text on a page; then you use paint, pencils, or other mediums of your choice to develop images for the final product. In the entertainment industry, you may create storyboards for commercials or films. Other job duties for remote illustrators include using illustrations software to refine designs, ensuring all printed illustrations meet color and quality standards, and to create new patterns, styles, and ideas for design teams.
