i' ve been asked by several people who watch to give some advice on art and the comicbook industry. while i haven't broken in yet, i have compiled alot of information on how to do it and great jems of advice about the industry

1. practie practice practice. your art will never get better unless you try harder and push yourself to get better. use references and how to books if needed.

2. know when to take constructed criticism and build from it. a bad critique could turn out to be the best critique.

3. never take one person answer as the end all be all whether good or bad. everyone is different. one person may love your art another may hate it.

4. never work with a friend unless you all have equal stakes in the project. you never know when something will go wrong and your friendship gets hurt in the process.

5. never, NEVER take on a project without receiving a clear and finite deadline. ASAP as a deadline is open to interpretation and as i was told by many in the industry, should never be given as a deadline or taken by an artist or writer. always have a date.

those are a few pointers i can give out at the moment.

i agree. glad you liked them! and no prob on the fave!!
Great Advice. i totally agree with all, but #4, i would never be in this business if i didn't work with friends. and I'm really glad to hear you say number 3. 5 is very sound advice. you MUST have a deadline. and the earlier you get your work done before the deadline the better your reputation becomes. I think you going to do very well.
well, #4 for you is cool. it was rich, who let you know way way in advance and drew, who you have equal stakes in the project. so you are the part of number that works lol.

deadlines are a must. i've learned that and will never never make that mistake again.
I see what you mean,
Hope you are well.
