Khary Randolph on Earning A Living As A Comic Book Artist - The Comic Archive 

Thanks for the honest talk. I do animation and would love to draw comics for a living, but there's not enough money to live a life, doing it. I keep my dream alive with animation during the day and comic projects at night, but I can feed myself and pay my rent.

Appreciate the honesty. It truly IS a jungle out there!

Yeah, it takes some cojones to pursue an artistic carreer instead of a safe -- if mind-numbing -- 9 to 5 job. I wish I had the guts and determination to go freelance like that. For now, I do webcomics and video games in my spare time -- though I do put in crazy hours sometimes. And there's no shame in having a blue-collar job as a college graduate. If it's something simple enough that you don't have to stay focussed on the job at all times, you can let your thoughts wander -- and then, when you go home, you sit down at the drawing board with your head full of new crazy ideas!

good video, thanks

great video hey i love your work i have two friends and myself that have 3 different comic books and we cant draw can i ask how much u would charge us

How can I find a artist for two stories I have?

So true : I make these drawings because I have to pay bills... I know how it feels.

seems like doing tattoos make better, especially if your able to draw realistic portraits. you can easily charge a 1000

draw faster
