I'm not really a student (I finished my major in Human Sciences loooong ago), but while I'm unemployed, I'm studiying Catalan (I'm Living in Catalonia, but I'm Andalusian, so...) and I hope I can soon enrol myself in Escola Joso Sabadell, a really important comic school here in Spain.
Do I count as a student? =D
There's a large amount of college students here :o Well I'll just wander on here as a high school student. I'm a Senior though, so I'm almost there.
I started my comic, Destiny Awaits2 like... last year. Then I went on a mini hiatus, and then I had to switch websites. Ever since I ruined my buffer, I haven't been doing my regular updates. So, I've been doing homework and drawing until like Midnight o3o But anyways, nice to meet you too.
Oh cool. I almost went to Rutgers myself, but decided on staying in New York.
For me, I always end up going on hiatus in the middle of chapters depending on how the school year is. But in between classes or whenever I have spare time, if I'm unable to work on some pages I normally try planning for future pages. Sketching ideas and drawing out storyboards.
So even if u don't have time to actually work on your comic, you can still plan things out making future processes easier.
Least...that's what I've been doing recently.
Oh and from the creator of Identity2, it is very nice to meet you.
I started a comic book club at our university in Canada and we made our own full 24 page comic book last year as a group. It is possible to balance both you just have to be committed and plan your time wisely. If that's what you enjoy doing then keep doing it! Who knows maybe you can find other students at your school who want to collaborate!
Good luck with your comics and you can read the beginning of ours on tapastic and we will upload the rest soon. http://tapastic.com/episode/876871
Yooo I'm a student at Royal Holloway University of London
I did some extreme comic things not on tapastic last year which was my second year at uni. I like to draw in big chunks so I wait to draw certain days during the week since I know I have a few hours to just burn through everything without needing to get ready to go to class or work or meet up for studying.
Best of luck! It does kill you a little since you have less spare time to do other things, but I still made time to be social unless I would've gone crazy lol
Eheh I took a class in senior year of high school called "Art and Lit of the Graphic Novel" and the final grade was based on a final project where you write and draw your first chapter for a graphic novel. I still have the pages for that, but the ideas for my story kept changing and growing but I never really did anything with it until my boss at the company I work at over the summer encouraged me to buy manga-making software and try actually making it, so my series has kind of been three years in the making xD
I'm a junior in college studying illustration and graphic design!
I've only been officially doing comics for about 8 months. My ongoing comic is here2!
Eheh, it's interesting to hear from all of you guys
Some of us are in school for things related to comics, and some of us are studying things that don't have anything to do with them xD
Reading how many people are doing illustration and animation are making me go "what is my life?" since I'm constantly wishing I could make comics for a living even though I'm a Psychology major
what is my life?
Hi. I am a Sophomore in a UC studying to either be a bio chem, macro biology, or molecular biology major. Still undecided, but thinking of entering medical school after I get my BS.
This is my comic right here Shadowed Life1 . I enjoy drawing in my free time. Technically I have had this story in development for two years and I finally decided to draw it.
Hello!
I'm currently a Computer Science Major at California State University of Monterey Bay.
This is my comic Nitou-Ryu1. This is my first time writing a comic so it's kinda rough in the beginning (^^;;)
You'd be surprised how much a seemingly unrelated field of study can help with anatomy, character and world building, depending on that individuals method of study. For me, Zoology could be beneficial for drawing animals, not only learning their anatomy through interacting and study but also learning their mannerisms and deeper biological stuff. I used to want to be a doctor, not only because it was something of interest but because I knew it would be spectacular help as far as human anatomy, illness and injury.
I can see how fields like psychology, archeology, astronomy, geology, etc can help with art and story/character/world building.
Sorry, I like babbling about stuff like this.
