Do you have a passion for drawing? There could be a way to turn your love of drawing into a business. Even if it’s a small side hustle, it could be a way to make some extra money doing something that you love. Below are a few fun business ideas for those that love to draw!
Greetings cards
One fun option could be to start your own line of greetings cards. These could be for any special occasion that you desire and you can make them as funny or serious as you like. It’s usually best to focus on a niche. This guide to starting a greetings card business offers a few tips.
T-shirts
You could use your drawing skills to come up with unique and exciting t-shirt prints. Printing t-shirts is a cheap and easy business venture. You can use a t-shirt printing service to print your design or you can invest in your own t-shirt printing machine.
Stickers
Another option could be to design stickers. These could be bumper stickers, laptop stickers, wall decal stickers or another type of sticker. These are even cheaper and easier to produce than t-shirts. This guide on how to start a sticker business offers some great tips.
Phone cases
You could also use your art skills to design a series of groovy phone cases. All you have to do is come up with a unique design to grab people’s attention. You can find a guide here on how to start your own phone case business.
Caricatures
Becoming a caricature artist could be another avenue. You could work on the street, get hired for events or simply take up private jobs online. This does require knowing how to draw in this style (and also being brave enough to draw people in this style). Consider whether it’s something you could do.
Children’s illustrations
You could also start a business illustrating children’s books. By working with authors, you can help create fun books for kids – and if you’re lucky, some of them could become bestsellers. You can pick up freelance gigs online or by working with publishers.
Tattoos
Becoming a tattoo artist could be another business idea to consider. This typically requires buying equipment and getting a license. Most tattoo artists practise by tattooing themselves, tattooing willing volunteers or using pig skin. Of course, being able to draw well is what really matters.
Album artwork
If you’ve ever wanted to work in the music industry, you could consider getting a job designing album artwork and single artwork. You could start by creating artworking for upcoming musicians and build your way up to bigger musicians.
Stock images
There are two types of stock images: stock photos and stock illustrations. If you’re skilled at drawing, you could consider producing the latter. These can be sold on stock image sites where they could be used by websites and businesses.
Commercial animations
One step beyond drawing to consider could be animation. The demand for animators has greatly increased in the last couple decades due to the rise of video marketing on the internet – many businesses are now working with animators to create fun explainer videos, promotional videos and instructional videos. If you know how to animate, you could consider starting up your own freelance animation business.
