This is a complicated job. Please remember this is not a hobby; it is not about being a comic “rock-star,” or going to Comic Cons to sign books for fans. This is a very difficult profession, and what we do is produce comic books on tight deadlines. Our job is to finish our books on time. The best advise I can give, if you want to be part of the comic industry, is you need several skills: talent, speed, and of course self-criticism. Because around you are hundreds of very talented artists looking to achieve the same goal as you. So you need to be the best. Practice — a lot of practice — and be honest about your artwork. Once you have done this, create a website and show your artwork online. You never know who may see your art. My big break was being hired by Marvel Comics. The Marvel Comics talent hunter noticed my work in my Twitter and Facebook accounts and got in touch with me. The rest is history.
