Let's see how he worked and how much he earned. There were no strict requirements from censorship. The main thing is to learn to draw so that the editor likes. He became a member of the Union of Artists, issued a book in a month and provided his family. For 16 pages of the children's book, it was possible to get the annual salary of the Soviet man 1.5-2 thousand rubles.
