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.

I am an artist. I have sold arts and crafts but did not focus on making it a business before but now I want to make it a career and I don’t know how to get in and this is helpful. I’d love to draw for a strip or even have my own. I’d like tips on where to start.

Im 19, nearly 20 and I just typed into Google : Fun jobs in *my area*. This was one of the things that came up. I am unemployed and have had enough of being in jobs which are steriotyped as being normal. Everyone when they was young wanted to be something fun and exciting when they grew up, not an office worker or a cleaner. The problem im facing now is how to get into fun and exciting jobs like these. They dont really teach you that at school :/
