How do I land a job in comics and/or cartoons ?
Have family or really good friends who are in the industry already.
>>150437820That's the neat part, you don't!
>>150437820Draw a lot of Ryona and dm it to dc's official twitter
>>150437820Depends. Artist? Showcase your art to editors at Cons and have some sort of online following.Writer? If you're talking about the big two, forget about, at least for now. Multiple people writers and staff at DC and Marvel have been vocal about only hiring established writers, i.e you need to have written something before, likely something "somewhat" popular.If you're not talking about the big two, maybe try with Image, Mad-Cave, etc. they're more or less always looking for new stuff to publish that can make them money.
You need to be more specific. They're two completely different industries and I've no idea what your area or skill level is. Something this broad gives me the impression you're far from obtaining a career in either, desut. works in the comics biz (and doesn't recommend it)
>>150438104NTA I want to become a comic writer for DC. I am currently studying Americanology (American literature).I originally thought about publishing novels for a bit before making the transition. Is it possible to enter the comic industry that way?P.S., I am currently studying in Sofia, Bulgaria. I have a certificate for C2-level proficiency in the English language.

>>150438637Yeah plenty of writers move laterally from fiction to comics, just look at Ta-Nehisi Coates, Derek Landy, China Mieville, to name a few. Obviously it's a completely different medium but if you're published and have work to your name that's certainly a start, you can learn the ropes of comics scripting along the wayAs aforementioned it's a lot harder to get in writing as opposed to drawing, though. An artist can just rock up with samples/portfolio and an editor will have an instant understanding of their ability - less easy to impress that upon someone with fiction
