ILLUSTRATORS are artists who specialize in creating visual representations of verbal or written content. They combine hand drawing and painting with digital media to create complete illustrations.

VISUAL DEVELOPMENT ARTISTS are responsible for building the world and characters for a story. Visual Development Artists can refer to any multimedia artist.

BACKGROUND PAINTERS help create the setting of a story by adjusting the mood, light, and coloring of a background scene.

BACKGROUND DESIGNERS are artists who design the backgrounds for films, video games, tv series, etc, and most commonly animations. They draw and paint the designed background for the final project visual.

The 'I Get Paid For This' video series is brought to you by the BRIC Foundation in hopes to demystify jobs within the entertainment industry.
