Comic book artist


            A comic book artist is, for the most part, a freelance job where work is inconsistent. They must confer with clients, writers, art directors and others that are interested in your work. Study in different techniques to appeal to all endeavors. Have current portfolios and past jobs to help attain new jobs.

            With this being such a specific area of skills; a secondary-education is required. However, work experience and professional jobs should be encouraged before your years of study are completed.

            Preferred skills and software include that of a wide range of expertise including the fields of graphic design and fine art practices specific and mastered over the years. Years of experience vary from artist to artist of which they can pertain prestige fast or slow and steady.

            The salaries range from 100 to 300 dollars a page, where professionals with prestige can demand even more; about 3 times that. Some established comic book artists are contract base and have long-term projects. However, most are freelance.
