In the beginning

Haral *, who is active in CLIP STUDIO ASSETS, challenged us to stock illustration!

Challenge New Year's card material

The theme of the material is "New Year's card material" which is also a staple of stock illustration.

At first there was a lecture from Pixta on the usage of the stock illustration and how to sell it, and then it was actually produced.

 

■ Completed illustration

 

The quality is high and the stock illustration has less taste, so it can be differentiated.

This alone is great, but it is the variation that becomes the point in the stock illustration!

The efficient production method is to derive materials that can meet the needs of buyers from one work.

Pattern without letters

In the case of New Year's cards, there are many buyers who want to write their own greetings and annotations.

This is common to message card materials and background materials, and copy space (space to write characters) is a very important element.

 

In the case of this work, the background texture and color are adjusted to change the atmosphere, so it is a good variation.

Single unit cartoon

It is premised that an illustration alone is established, but in stock illustration it is often common to sell works that are a set separately as parts.

 

In the case of the above figure, it can be used when you want to use illustrations of "Uribo" (Children of the Rooster) besides New Year's cards, so it may be sold regardless of the year or season.

Articles of Incorporation (Lackan)

Text materials are also popular in stock illustrations.

If the background is created as transparent PNG data, it will be easier to handle if you are not good at image editing software etc., and you will have more opportunities for purchasing.

 

Summary

In this way, not only a complete piece of stock illustration but also an illustration that can be used as a "material" is required.

 

I think that there are places where selling illustrations produced over time ... not even selling places so interesting, so if you are concerned, please try by all means.

 

I asked Halmar * what he thought was making a stock illustration

■ Halmar * 's Profile:

I am making materials for CLIP STUDIO PAINT and ComicStudio.

Basically it is for monochrome cartoons. Available at CLIP STUDIO ASSETS, BOOTH.

I am looking forward to finding the materials you are using on paper.

In akayoshi, I draw comics with electronic books. It's too slow pace, and I'm forgetting how to share pieces, but I'm doing it somehow.

 

 

-Did you know about the stock illustration before? In addition, what kind of impression did you have about stock illustration?

 

[Halmar *] I decided to challenge the stock illustration this time, and after confirming that the name "Pixta" would be remembered, I confirmed it for some time before using it.

 

It was impressive that Pixta's explanation of the stock illustration was followed by a surprisingly simple one rather than a well-crafted work.

In addition, because images of various sizes are prepared, I thought that it would be useful to be able to use photographic images reasonably when you want to refer to them as a material for drawing cartoons.

 

 

― Please tell us what you were careful when producing the material for this stock illustration.

 

[Halmar *] In this illustration, is it cute if there are a lot of small things? I thought, I tried to draw a lot of 坊.

 

I will start drawing after thinking about rough layouts, but I will draw and divide the layers of each animal as I sometimes think and adjust the details while drawing.

Having separate layers will help you later on changing the layout or selling alone.

 

 

ー Is there a function of CLIP STUDIO PAINT that I think useful when making stock illustrations?

 

[Halmar *] It's convenient to have CLIP STUDIO ASSETS for almost anything you need when you need a brush or texture during production. Even when you can not find the material you were thinking of, you can customize something close and make something close to an ideal.

 

After that, the [Image material] layer is convenient. This Uribo is drawn separately for each layer, but if each is registered in the [material] palette as [image material] and then used, it will not deteriorate even if it is repeatedly scaled or rotated on the canvas, so it is free to You can adjust the layout.

[Image material] layers can be arranged by tiling function, so images for wallpaper and wrapping paper can be easily created.

 

As stock illustrations use the same material and it is good to make a version difference, this function will be very useful.

 

Because CLIP STUDIO PAINT can handle not only color but also monochrome and grayscale, and there is also a layer mask and a vector layer, I think that it can correspond to stock illustrations of any taste from illustration to text.

 

 

ー Are there any materials you would like to make from stock illustrations in the future?

 

[Halmar *] I saw a lot of themes and tastes I wanted to challenge when looking at the stock illustrations. The depth seems to be deep .... It is a good thing, but it is also good to get your eyes off, but it is still best to buy and use it (laughs).
