Answer 1

Im a graphic designer. I went to school for nearly 4 years to get my bachelor's degree. Now I work with an advertising agency designing ads, etc.

You have to keep working at your artwork and design skills and look at other people's work.

Learn programs like adobe illustrator and photoshop - take classes if you can.

Then, get into a good art school after high school. I went to the Art Institute. Do some research, and see what is best for you.

Answer 2

That is what i am going to start doing very soon. I am graduating this year and i would like to do some internships at art schools or with some local graphic designers =D but read this, i hope it helps http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos090.htm

Just get your art "out here."

Some classes you might want to do very good in:

Painting and Drawing

Algebra, Geometry

and since you are an artist as well, you MUST answer my question
