About the Animation Industry

Computer animation has become popular in these days. Although the motion picture and video industries employ the highest number of animators in the world, advertising and public relations, computer systems design, and software publishers also employ a large number of animators. Today’s illustrators have to have more than talent. They have to be innovative, confident and even tech knowledge. In fact, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, “increasingly, illustrators use computers in their work. They might draw in pen and pencil and then scan the image into a computer to be colored in, or use a special pen to draw images directly onto the computer.” As such, today’s aspiring illustrators may find themselves working for a top technology firm, a law enforcement agency, science lab, medical institute, in the academic arena or even an engineering company. However, more common careers for illustrators include advertising, publishing, filmmaking, political cartoons, animation, and gaming. Fortunately, aspiring animators that are interested in these fields will find ample opportunities.
