Breaking Into Comics
Breaking Into Comics
I've had a surprising amount of emails/notes about how to break in. I have no specific answer other than keep drawing and posting and creating. But here are some other random thoughts.
First, you don't actually 'break' in. You creep in. It's like you knocked on a door and they opened it, just a little, and you can see all the cool stuff inside but you're not getting in yet.
The hardest part isn't you first job. It's your second and third and fourth. The hardest thing in comics is getting MORE work, not your first thing. In the grand scheme of things your first job (creeping in) is piss easy. Cultivating a career is difficult. A lot of it ha

Great style
As a hopeful career artist, I love artists that teach me professional methods with their impressive portfolios.

Hi Garry how are you?
My name is Guilherme and I'm developing my comic colorist portfolio, I saw your pages and they are awesome and the style I want to work and develope my colors.
I would ask if you can send some high resolution pages for me so I can use in my portfolio? (without getting trouble for you and your editor of course!)
Thanks so much for you time!
