Question

Well I am young 15, and extremely talented at drawing, I do other things besides drawing but none that I can show my creative side such as this. As being 15 and a skilled artist anyway for me to jump into the comic business.

I like to read all answers, I like hearing what people think :)

Help? please and thankyou.

Answer 1

I've heard it's extremely hard to get into the business even if you are talented, and apparently only a small portion of the people who do get published end up being able to live off the money they make. Anyway you can submit your ideas and drawings to http://tokyopop.com/corporate/submission... . There are rules and agreement stuff included with it. Good luck with your comic!

Hope this helps!

all you can do is  keep on drawing  for know -- cultivate your own unique style.  the comic book industry is looking for people who are totally original. take the art classes in your school to help you learn different drawing techniques.  

collect the best pieces of your art and keep them in a portfolio and present them to comic book publishers.  yah gotta try try try ;p

maybe you should post your art on deviantart.com.  it's online community for artists.  that's a great way to show your art to the world.  you might get the attention you want someday.

well good lucky to you then.  dream big ;)

Well, you should learn to draw anime.    You won't be totally popular if you don't have any anime comics or manga.
