I need some art advice. I went to SVA and I have a degree in animation/film. I tried getting a job in animation and it didn’t work out for me. I want to get my own comics published and distributed. I want to go back to school and get a degree in Illustration/Cartooning so I can get the training I need to work as a comic artist/writer/creator. My problem is I have issues with my financial aid, and I can’t get a degree online till that’s taken care of. I tried taking classes in a local art school in the meantime-but they didn’t have too classes related to illustration/cartooning and comic art-I did have a comic creativity course but that was it and I have some 2-D and 3-D drawing classes. It would be to my benefit if I have an Illustration/Cartooning degree since a lot of jobs look for that, and some places need animators-I tried getting jobs through the alumni dept. at my old school-but I can’t get down to them anyway-I can’t afford the commute. I live in upstate NY and these jobs are down in NYC and Long Island-I can’t get to the freelance ones.
I was told by some people you need a cartooning degree to get a cartooning/illustration job, and others said having a cartooning degree isn’t necessary if you want a job in comics. My animation degree isn’t enough-you have to have training to work as a comics artist/writer/illustrator. I tried finding out about the art programs at my local colleges-they don’t have what I am looking for. I considered The Art Instruction Schools-they are the company that advertises the free art test which you complete and return to them so they can evaluate it. I found out their work-at-home program costs $130 for enrollment and $130/month each month after for 26 months. Right now I can’t afford that.
Until I get situated financially what can I do to get the training I need-where should I go? Does anyone here know anything about getting funding to get my work out there?
