I guess I'll keep drawing =P
Looking back at my journal entries, I think that my heart still wants to keep drawing, manga illustrations especially. I'm keen on pursuing a career as a manga artist after graduation, or work with a concept design agency somewhere.
I guess I've been holding off that dream for sometime because I've believed that I won't be able to earn a decent salary if I kept hoping to draw comics. Now that I've done some research, it seems the local comic industry isn't all that bad.
I feel even better now I know that the standard for good comics locally has been rising as well.
An acquiantance told me that the editor of a local magazine rejected his earlier work and pushed him to do better. He thought it was worth it, he's gone pretty far since that first encounter with the editor. And there's a company in Kelana Jaya that has done work for some international game firm too! Wonder if they need a fresh illustrator on the team...
I feel better now I know that. At least my parents won't be worried to death that I won't be able to support myself doing what I love, haha.
I guess all that's left now is to brush up my skills (Really brush it up man), and get started on a good portfolio.
That's all for now, til next time then!
