A street artist already meets 53% of what the drawing artist role asks for. The move turns on 10 required skills not yet in the profile.
53%
51.8/ 100
1 Share of the drawing artist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the street artist profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Why this move works
A drawing artist role treats 9 of its required skills as things a street artist already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- art history
- contextualise artistic work
- create digital images
- create original drawings
- discuss artwork
- ensure visual quality of the set
What stands in the way is 10 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 18 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A drawing artist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a street artist background worth leading with.
- already held create original drawings communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held create digital images communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held plan art educational activities management skills
- already held collaborate with a technical staff in artistic productions communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held discuss artwork communication, collaboration and creativity

All 18 carried skills, including the 9 the drawing artist role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 12 missing skills fall into 2 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.
- required, not held perform ideation activities required
- required, not held create sketches required

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a drawing artist role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 perform ideation activities skill · occupation specific
- 02 create sketches skill · sector specific
- 03 describe artistic experience skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
