Advancement Prospects
Advancement for fashion illustrators generally comes as they gain professional recognition. The freelance illustrator who becomes known for the creativity and high quality of his or her work will find that he or she has a growing clientele. More clients translate into more jobs; more jobs translate into higher earnings. In addition, as illustrators become better known, they can charge more for their services and be more selective about what jobs they take. Illustrators who are salaried employees of organizations may either move up within the organization, taking on supervisory roles or working with specific accounts for example, or they may have starting their own illustration business as their ultimate goal.
