College, work, and art.

Journal Entry: Fri Feb 8, 2008, 10:12 AM
Currently I have put my love life behind me, for now. I am trying to work on my college and find and job. I think that this will bear more fruit than anything else. I am trying to learn how to draw in a cartooning/ manga style. I think I want to find a job drawing comics as a career after college, if I get good at it. A very good friend friend of mine is helping me a little to show me some ways to draw manga like him. He is also starting his own business to sell a comic that he and some other friends created. If I can get good enough I want to get into this business. For one reason above all the others- it is a Christian comic. That way I could do something I like as well as serve the lord.

I have already pinned down one of the the problems with my drawing. I don't have very good control. I may know what I want to draw, how to draw it, etc, etc, but when I try to draw it my hand does not follow the exact path of the shape I wish it to follow. The shape I have in my mind or that I am looking at. It is like, I have trouble drawing a perfect circle, it always comes off a little distorted, same with straight lines. I think that practice will make me better but I don't really know how to practice. How to practice to gain dexterity and control? Do any of you know how?

I hope so, I need to find a job, like soon- or last week. I need money bad. And my parents are coming down on me pretty hard. If you here of any commissions I can do, let me know or if you see any that fit me, please recommend me. I would be very thankful. Being a college student is not cheap.

Thanks a lot.
