If you are good, advertise your services for someone who is designing websites or doing graphic books. Right now, I'd love someone like you to draw the characters in my science fiction novel so I can post them in my website.

You stopped what? High school? Then you aren't a High school graduate if that's true.

Most places are going to want a formal education in the field. You aren't going to get the knowledge and experience needed dinking around. Yes I do know Actual Art School Graduates in the field. Its difficult in any art related field getting work WITH the degree, next to impossible without one.

So, did you finish high school?

Being my brother was actually in that field at one time and did have a college degree I know what the prospects are because he is no longer in that field as a result.

Without that college art degree, you WILL be at a great disadvantage. And it's a TOUGH field to be in WITH a degree. But there is always a possibility IF the right person thinks you have tallent. And no I'm not talking friends or relatives. If you never finished high school... reduce those chances by 1/2.

No harm in trying however, you will never get a job you never apply for... but do keep other options open. Odds are you won't be doing what you hope to do. Keep expectations realistic... and keep in mind, any job is better than no job when it comes down to what's important.

Hi, markeilyn!

Do you have any images of what you've done that you could post here, please?

Yes, a goodl part of making any money at what someone does while being self-employed is how good they are at what they do as well as how they market themselves.

Please do post some images, if you're able to do that.

Thanks!

Yes. I'd like to see what you can do. As I said, I am looking for someone to do artwork for my website.
