How can i work as an animator like the one's that make naruto and bleach? What do i need to know exactly? thks

Question

I already know how to draw Manga and Anime characters but I was wondering if I make my own comic book or Manga book etc... And it turns out to be a very good one which it would be because its original, how can i introduce my art or Manga book to an animation studio that makes anime T.V. shows like the ones "Naruto" and "Bleach" and work as an animator making my own animation on T.V.? Also, I don't have a high school diploma but i can draw pretty good, enough to make an animation as good as Naruto OR Bleach or maybe better... -_- but the only thing is that i take a bit of time when drawing. So, If there isn't a way for me to work as an animator because of high school diploma or something like that, Where can i publish my anime or manga book so that it becomes famous and or at least get viewed by animation companies? I need the most detailed explanation you can come up with!!! My bad for being so persistent, but i need information on this in order to continue with drawing. Thank for who ever summits at least a single word or more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

An animator that draws the characters not computer programs an stuff! Thanks again everyone!

Animation is not just about drawing skills. Even if you draw well, it takes a lot of hard work and study, and to have any chance of employment as an animator you will not only need a high school diploma, but you will need to complete a good college degree in animation, preferably followed by an internship. An animation company will not even give you a glance if you have never studied animation. If you're not prepared to put in the kind of time and effort this would require, you're not suited to the field of animation, because the field requires real passion and dedication.

You may be able to find work as a manga artist. A good starting point for this would be to produce an online manga, updated regularly and as frequently as you can. Not only will this give you vital practice, it will show potential employers that as an artist you are organised and can stick to a schedule. If you build up enough of a fanbase from this (that is, guaranteed buyers), it may become financially viable to publish it yourself. This is a good starting point to be noticed by commercial publishers - but NOT animation companies.

In case you are not aware of it, almost all manga, and certainly all animation like Bleach and Naruto, is produced in Japan. If you are absolutely serious about producing Japanese anime, that is where you will need to go. If you're willing to consider that, anime is such a lucrative market there that it's easier to get a job as a low-level animator and work your way up, so you would have far better chances of employment in animation there.
