I am interested in drawing. What collage should I go? What career should I follow?

Drawers have the ability to communicate emotions and ideas as a creative visual. Careers in this field can range from illustrating for entertainment and educational purposes to teaching to being a fine artist.

Painters may commission their works to corporate or private collections, display them in art galleries or museums, or be hired to paint portraits or other works. Conducting private workshops or classes, restoring paintings, or becoming art therapists, critics, or directors are also possibilities.
 
Potential Careers

Fine Artist
Sell work to individuals, galleries, interior designers, architects, libraries, community centers, churches, banks, hotels, government and elsewhere on a freelance basis or by commission. They must be self-motivated and able to accept criticism. At times work is commissioned, but most often it is created and sold afterwards.

Instructor or Professor
Teach classes either as a part-time adjunct or full-time instructor at a college or university. May also design courses or assist with curriculum development. Typically requires a terminal degree such as a MFA.

Independent Curator
Like a traditional curator, an independent curator selects the works or content to be included in an exhibition or event. Work outside of—as well as in cooperation with—individual institutions. Must have the drive and motivation to be your own boss, and be willing to push the boundaries of the term “curator.”

Illustrator
Illustrate for advertisements, books, magazines, fashion, and more. Create layout sketches of designs, logo ideas, and illustrations that are included in reports, print materials, direct mail, point of purchase displays, posters, signage, commercials, trailers, and billboards.

Animator
Animate characters, scenes, and/or special effects for film, television, and the entertainment industry.

Art Therapist
Use the creative process of art making to improve and enhance the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of individuals of all ages. Art therapy is based on the belief that the creative process involved in artistic self-expression helps people to resolve conflicts and problems, increase self-esteem and self-awareness, and achieve insight.

Arts Administrator
Manage programs in education, therapy, or public service. Oversee and apply for grants, report to your donors and board, and plan for your organization.

Art Restoration Specialist
Clean, repair, and restore a damaged work of art to a state similar to its original condition. Regularly handle and work with rare and valuable pieces.

Visiting Artist
Mix studio time with time spent teaching one or more classes. Hone your skill while utilizing the resources of the host organization.

Commercial Artist
Produce art for promotional materials and commercials.

Muralist
Create extremely large works of art, often paintings, applied to a wall, ceiling, or floor. Use different styles to bring beauty to an interior or exterior space.

Architect
Architects use drawing skills to design functional buildings and complexes. In addition to drawing, architects fulfill the demands of functionality by taking structural elements -- such as capacity, ventilation and plumbing -- into account. Then they create construction plans. Architects hold either a bachelor's degree in architecture, earned in a five-year program, or another undergraduate degree plus a master's in architecture. A training period at an architectural firm follows, usually a three-year internship. Graduates may then sit for a licensing exam, which is required for all architects.

Drafter
Drafters create drawings using software -- usually computer-aided design and drafting programs called CADD software -- to translate engineering or architectural designs to technical plans. Products from computer chips to pipeline layouts demand a drafter's skill. Drafters attend technical school or obtain an associate's degree from a community college to obtain drafting education. The bureau says architectural drafters often need a bachelor's degree.

Drawing is a great entry to many different careers in the arts. Drawing is a way of focusing ideas through sketches, as well as creating finished illustrations. It's really good that you draw every day, as practicing your skills in drawing is important.

As the previous answer shows, there are lots of careers in the arts. Illustrators for fashion, books, and newspapers; cartoonists; technical illustrators (such as you see in manuals for electronics and appliances); story board artists; architectural artists; some fine artists; portrait painters; art teachers, and so on, are just some of the art careers where solid drawing skills are important.

What kind of a career you follow with your drawing depends on a lot of variables, such as the level of your drawing skill and talent, the subject matter you enjoy, if you draw using a pencil and paper, or if you draw on the computer. I'm not sure where you are in your education, but I would advise you to talk to your art teacher, or to an art teacher in your school; tell him or her about your interests in drawing, show him or her your work, and ask him or her about schools where their students have gone.

Be aware that few people will hire you because you like to draw, even if you are good at it. You'll need to get a degree in art from a college, university or an art school. Wherever you study after high school, you will be encouraged to broaden your areas in art. So, I would also advise you to expand your art making into other areas such as painting, printmaking, or even sculpture. I would also strongly recommend you get familiar with computer graphic programs for drawing.

In addition to your art teachers, I would also talk to your Guidance Counselor (if you are in high school), or talk to your school librarian about careers in the arts and about schools.

Best Wishes!

Depends on many factors - money, degree, faculty, and discipline you want to follow. Any decent art school will have plenty of drawing classes but as a gateway to design disciplines, illustration or fine arts (painting). I’ll presume you want to be an illustrator. If so are you interested in other media (computer illustration, charcoal, color pencils, Conte crayon, pen and ink, and paint on board or canvas in addition to pencil on paper. Drawing for drawing sake will not make a career but an avocation. Illustration is a highly competitive field but with passion, perseverance and an unfettered will to succeed you could make it, earning money at the craft you love.
