If yes, which type of comic do you prefer - Japanese manga, the DC-type comic or the simpler and funny comics such as Dilbert and Garfield?
For myself, I draw manga though pretty bad with it. I have an ambition to be a successful comic writer and artist, even though I'm already 26. Hahaha. Just a dream.
What about you?

I like to draw and even considered making my own comic.. did simple comic strips as well as took a whole notebook and filled it with that sci-fi story.. it was later on followed with my interest on manga when I got to read one entitled I"s from Masakazu Katsura when a classmate of mine brought a volume for me to see, knowing that I have an interst with drawing and comics.
Still, I also like illustrations done in western styles like that of Marvel or DC. Realism on western style while emotions are better expressed with manga style.
I too have always wanted to be able to get a story done, illustration as well as authoring one but, time isn't really a luxury for me that I can afford just to spend on making one. Still, it wouldn't hurt if I was able to do a manga style comic or western one. I was only able to do a mini graphic novel with that notebook which was always read by my classmates during high school. That really made me happy (^_^ )

I used to draw a lot during childhood time. I even sold some of my drawings to my classmates. LOL. But it's been so long, and my drawing is pretty bad now. I can't even draw a human figure properly. Gosh. I wonder how am I going to create a nice comic with my lousy drawing skill. And I am worse if I were to draw background.

I use to draw a lot of scenes during my grade school days and I have also have not drawn for a long while now. I am not confident with my skills as well. Espcially when the background is in question. However, like all artists that I have asked before, don't be give yourself short of credit. Trying to draw is already a good thing while others simply don't even try. Always keep on drawing and never be disappointed with what you could do since like everything else, with constant practice, things will become better.

Hmm, but at my age, there are some other things which I should be thinking of. Drawing is just a hobby after all and most probably can't earn anything from there. *Sighs*

Maybe you can try joining competition and make your name known to the industry?

I think in 2009, there will be another round of Asia Pacific ANIMAX award competition. Join that. Maybe you can make a name for yourself. :)
