As you probably know, it’s a lot of work to be creative and turn ideas into real artwork. Drawing a comic/cartoon doesn’t only include the act of actually drawing it, but also to think come up with all the little details, try out different things and so on. Assuming I was a full-time cartoon artist and could dedicate myself 8 hours a day to drawing a typical comic strip consisting of 3-4 squares, it would take me around 2-3 days to finish it off. However, as you probably know, my main profession is to work at the hospital, which is why it usually takes me a couple of weeks to finish off a cartoon/comic. I’m not earning a single penny drawing these cartoons. Therefore, I would like you to consider the following:
