After I read chapter 1, “Illustration is a business,” According to this chapter, Illustration is not about the hobby, it’s actually about a very important business, so the illustrators will find a job, and they are able to work anywhere. More importantly, people can set their own goals, call their own shots, and set their own timetables. So people need to start searching for illustrations as an important opportunity to raise money. Another thing, being as an illustrator is responsible for trashout the fee, billing and collecting fee, that they develop marketing plans to make sure people are continually busy, by thinking their ideas to illustrate.
