Career Profile: Cartoonist
Written by admin on Dec 11th, 2009 | Filed under: Artistic careers
Comics can be addressing a large range of audience types. It is not just targeting at kids. There are also varied styles of comic artworks. Some go for the cartoony look, while other can have a kind of realism.
Do you like comics? Can you draw cartoon characters very well?
The career of the Cartoonist is a creative one. Basically, a cartoonist is an artist who draws cartoons. The cartoons are often for animations.
For the career, of course one must be good at drawing. One must have a strong interest and passion in creative drawing and artworks. Qualifications in graphic or multimedia course are very useful. As a cartoonist, one is required to develop concepts and ideas for cartoons, animations or comic strips.
I was drawing a lot in my early days. Now I have no time for this, just like everyone else. I need to work to give my children home, security and food. That is the reality we live in.
That’s ridiculous, there are many people out there who make a living working for DC or Marvel. Just because you weren’t able to take your art into a career doesn’t mean others can’t.
Hi i am 19 years old & currently unemployed, however i am doing a floristry level 2 course, i come from Northfield Birmingham in the West Midlands, i was just wondering if there’s any websites or tips you could give me to become a cartoonist or anything to do with art really. There always seems to be these type of jobs in London but not Birmingham, please help!
Thanks Danielle.
