Career As A Cartoonist
A cartoonist is an artist, who specializes in cartooning. The job of a cartoonist is to create comic characters, objects to put into books, manga, anime, editorial cartoons. They are a part of comic strip creation for animation movie. A cartoonist has a born quality for sketching, caricaturing or making replica images. They love to draw roughly in pencil first. They can put their thought on a paper at any point of time. Afterwards they go over the sketches in black ink and colors. Cartoonists work for print media, electronics and web media also check.Now, to get the actual job, you're going to need to do several things. It helps if you've ever had your work published before. It doesn't have to be anything too special, in fact it can be something as simple as a community newsletter or church newspaper. Just having this will give you a lot of experience in the eyes of the newspaper editor and make you seem like you know what you're doing.
It also helps to together a portfolio. Put together a collection of your best work in a nicely laid out binder. You can bring this to an interview with a newspaper editor. You're trying to show off their very best work here, so put your highest quality material on the front. The editor will look who's here to view, and combined with your previous experience this could make an excellent impact on them.
Write and illustrate the things that you think about. Things that make you laugh should go in there. And the things that make you cry. Or that make you angry. Consider your sketchbook a sort of brain dump where you unload everything you're thinking about. It doesn't have to be funny at this point - that'll come later in the Cartoon Brainstorming sessions. The things you record don't even have to make sense to anyone but you (and they don't even have to make sense to you!). They are just going to be there, waiting to spark an idea when you go back through your work.
And be sure to date the pages occasionally. That makes it nice when you go back through them over the years and can pinpoint the day when you were thinking this and that.
The start-up cost is extremely minimal. Chances are you can launch your career with stuff you already have in your house, or can easily steal from the office. You'll need some drawing paper and a pen. Add some large manila envelopes for mailing in submissions and a few bucks for postage, and that's really all the investment you absolutely have to make. If you really want to splurge, you could buy some pencils for doing up roughs, and maybe some page-sized cardboard inserts to help prevent your submission packages from getting bent up in the mail, but those luxuries should be considered optional.
