When I started drawing, my only source of income was through art commissions. I was constantly worried. How could I sustain myself and make money as an NSFW artist if it took me a few days just to finish an illustration?
While making better art usually means more demand (and the opportunity to price higher), this isn’t a course on become a better artist. Instead, our goal is to become better business people so we can leverage what you have right now, instead of waiting for “my art to get better”.
This is part 1 of the “ Making Money as an NSFW Artist ” Course.
As artists, we need to work smart with our main business offering: our art. Consider:
Aside from maximizing earnings from your artworks, you’ll also gain more security through multiple sources of income. What if your main social media platform shut down tomorrow? Would you be able to recover, or would you have to start from scratch?
If you’re interested in creating more security, or just want to earn more, here are several sources of income you can start building as an NSFW artist:
When a client commissions you, they pay you to create art based on their needs.
However, before you become hireable, you’ll need to decide what kind of art you make, and who to market it to. Are you a hentai artist? Perhaps a furry artist? Maybe you do semi-realistic artworks like Dandon Fuga or Sciamano ?
Regardless of what you draw, consider specializing in a niche and creating art for a smaller group with unique preferences. Because of how saturated the art market is (and NSFW especially), you want your works to be recognizable, which will generate client demand and trust.
Fulfilling a niche isn’t limited to genre. Consider popular hentai artists like ShindoL and Sakimi Chan . They’re known for their art styles as well. Wouldn’t you prefer to work with someone known for a specific style, rather than someone who can’t even pin theirs down?
I ‘brand’ myself as a hentai illustrator who draws original characters (OCs). Creating art for this niche influences my marketing and business decisions. I only create fanart once a month, and depend on client word-of-mouth to find work.
Once you’ve decided on what differentiates you as an NSFW artist, you can start looking for work and adjusting your commission prices as you improve.
The downside is that commissions can be time consuming. Even if you enjoy drawing for a niche, it can get tiring and uninspiring to create art for others. Some artists have even decided not to take commissions, like Gats . He’s a great example of how multiple sources of income create security, and even allow the luxury of choosing specific sources of income.
With the advent of sites like Kickstarter and Patreon, artists can build a large pool of income from the support of many individuals. They work by allowing fans to support you with any amount starting from $1.
The crowdfunding model is so powerful, it helped Studio FOW raise over 1.5 million euros for their game Subverse. That kind of fundraising would have been unthinkable a few years ago, when anything NSFW had limited options for growth.
If you’re looking for continuous support, subscription platforms like Patreon and Pixiv Fanbox allow your supporters to subscribe to certain tiers. In exchange for paying a certain amount monthly, fans receive perks and exclusive content that you decide on.
If you decide to start using such platforms, consider building a content strategy. How much time do you want to invest into your exclusive content? Do you prefer making detailed workflow posts, or just want to drop a .PSD file? Kidmo , one of the top NSFW artists on patreon, only has 1 tier, while Sakimi Chan has 6.
If you don’t want to start a Patreon yet, you might like Ko-fi, which allows fans to donate to you (for free!). Both have their pros and cons , which I discussed last month.
As you grow your audience, you can create physical and digital merchandise for fans to buy. Not only is it a great way for them to engage with your art, but it can provide income for years to come.
Always make sure to check a platform’s policy on NSFW content!
If you visit Comic-Con or anime conventions, you’d see artists selling merch like stickers, shirts, and art prints. You can do the same! Perhaps you have designs that would look good on a shirt, or you want to create stickers featuring OCs from your stories.
Reiq runs an online shop stocked with stickers, artbooks, and prints.
However, in his latest post he mentions how he’d often spend days fulfilling orders rather than drawing. If you aren’t keen on buying equipment and shipping things yourself, then Print-on-Demand sites might be for you.
POD sites like Printful and Redbubble allow you to focus on making designs, while they handle shipping and physical merch creation. This is a great way to build ‘passive’ income that doesn’t need much hands-on work, though you earn less because of POD fees.
My choice for POD is Redbubble. There are a ton of products you can put your designs on, and the quality is good! You can also set your margins for earnings on products.
You can also sell digital merchandise like tutorials, eBooks, and files. This is a great way to make truly passive income, but it takes time to create content worth buying.
Gats sells short comics on his Gumroad (which is NSFW friendly!), offering thumbnail views so that viewers can decide whether to buy.
Digital merch isn’t limited to art. You could also create online courses and teaching material, like what Aaron Blaise does.
If you have a Patreon platform where you post exclusives and behind-the-scenes, you could also offer those as downloadable content, for fans who might only want said resources. Here’s an example from Sakimi Chan’s Gumroad , which is filled with tutorials and digital content.
We spend a lot of time drawing. You can capitalize on that by streaming and engaging with fans during otherwise lonely hours.
Some platforms allow donations and subscriptions, so it’s another nifty way to make income. Here are some sites that allow NSFW art streaming:
You could also post your speedpaints and video content to sites like YouTube for more passive income from ad revenue. NSFW artists have to work within YouTube’s SFW rules, though. For inspiration, you can check out MikeyMegaMega and Shadman .
I personally don’t enjoy streaming. Always remember that you don’t need to force yourself into a platform, just because it’s a potential source of income! It’s more effective to focus your energy creating what you enjoy.
While this isn’t an exhaustive list, it should give you an idea of how most NSFW artists make money. Regardless of which methods you choose, remember that your products don’t have to be limited to what others do. Experiment, find what works for you and your supporters!

As you continue to grow your audience and start taking commission work, you’ll need a way to get paid for your NSFW art commissions. PayPal is a popular payment aggregator, meaning you don’t need a merchant account/legal business to receive payments and withdraw money. Despite its sneaky fees and quirks,…

Despite the popularity of anime overseas, there aren't as many people working as anime artists in America. Those who are either sell their drawings to make a living or they work for animation studios. Artists have no specific job requirements, but an associates degree and experience with multimedia animation can increase your chances of getting paid to draw anime.
A degree isn't always necessary for an anime artist, but it will give you a solid foundation of traditional art skills. If animation isn't offered at your school, go for a bachelor's in graphic design, computer graphics, art or a similar major. Sign up for any additional courses or electives that may strengthen your focus, such as film, drawing, three dimensional design or art history.
Apply for related jobs in the industry while you build a portfolio for future employers. For instance, you may work as a multimedia animator or artist and build a portfolio of special effects you designed in video games, television shows and movies. Each animation studio has its own artistic style that you'll need to pick up. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, studios that have personalized computer or software applications put new hires through hands-on training to learn the basics.
Research local and regional anime events so you can get involved and meet people in the field. Anime Expo, the self-proclaimed largest manga and anime convention in North America in 2014, hosts events like seminars and symposiums to discuss the details of all things anime. The 2015 Anime and Manga Studies Symposium, for example, consists of scholars from around the world, discussing topics like interpretations of Japanese history, copyright status and the importance of female audiences and characters.
Anime Expo holds annual conventions for aspiring and popular artists, game creators and fans. The New England Anime Society reports that new artists who are over the age of 18 can apply and register to rent table space in the "Artists' Alley" section of the convention. During your first show, ask seasoned artists for advice, such as which pictures to sell and how to display them. As you sell more and gain a small fan base, apply to be an exhibitor at the expo, which draws more attention than a table in the alley.
It's difficult to estimate the earning potential for anime artists. As with many forms of art, revenue depends on your talent and marketing ability. Anime is far more popular in Japan than America, but an article by the College Foundation of North Carolina indicated that it is picking up speed. It quoted the director of marketing and publications from Streamline Pictures, Fred Patten, explaining that anime was practically nonexistent in America until 1989. Patten noted that the market for anime videos and related merchandise in America has since increased to an estimated figure of over $100 million a year, at the time of publication.

If i can get a carrier in drawing porn, well that would be just swell
Depends on how popular. Most likely far less, though.

There's a reason a lot of porn artists try to do mainstream stuff (hint, it's for the money). A career in drawing porn is apparently easier to get into, however, when you consider how many artists get their start drawing erotic stuff.

^ I think a lot of them try to get into mainstream stuff because they genuinely have aspirations to write their own traditional manga story. A lot of ero artists sell doujinshi and have their works published in commercial ero magazines. Your average well known artist usually sells out at conventions like comiket and they have their works published in doujinshi stores like Toranoana. I've read some of them don't actually have jobs outside of the ero manga they draw.

Most ero artists don't make as much because they don't produce as much content. Not sure how man an ero artist doing 20 pages a week would make.
All the stars in the sky are waiting for you.

Take appropriate courses in high school. While you're still in high school, start building your artistic skills by taking art classes. Drawing and painting would both be helpful for building your skill set to draw manga art, and even a general art class could potentially help you build skills. [1]

In addition, take literature and writing courses. As a mangaka, you'll be creating a story line, as well, so make sure to spend time focusing on how to develop a story.

Seek out others with similar interests. Working with other people on similar goals can help encourage you in yours. In addition, you can learn new skills from other people in the group. Try to find a group interested in manga at your school or in your area. You could also join an art club to help increase your skills.
If you can't find one to join, consider creating one. There's bound to be others who have similar interests.
Look for classes or groups at your local library or with your park and recreation department.

Consider an art degree. While you don't absolutely need a degree to be a mangaka, formal education can help give you the professional skills you need. A bachelor's degree in fine arts is a good choice, as it will help you build up your artistic skills. However, you can also go much more specific. A number of universities in the United States offer degrees in comic art, [2]

and if you're willing to travel to Japan, you can earn bachelor's or master's degrees specifically in manga art. [3]

In addition, think about double majoring or minoring in literature or writing. Developing your writing skills will be helpful in writing stories later.

Practice your drawing. Formal schooling increases your skill set, but so does practicing on your own. Just like learning an instrument, practicing drawing will make you better over time. You can start out by imitating characters you like, but you can move on to creating your own characters and panels. [4]
