What is the best way to land a job as an illustrator?

I plan to major in illustration/animation at San Jose State University but am clueless on how to go about finding a job after college. I've never had an adult who was into the arts the way I was, so I haven't found much solid advice. I realize that it will take time and experience, but my goal is to become a concept artist (I'm still undecided for what media so any advice is welcome). #illustration #animation

What kinds of career opportunities come to those with a background in animation?

This question comes from a young man who has a love for drawing cartoons and aspires to work at Pixar, one day. He wants to keep his options open (he's considering Dreamworks as an option) and would love to know where else he can work and in what capacity with a background in animation. I would like to share this question with the CareerVillage community to offer a learning opportunity to all of our young men and women who have an interest in turning their love for drawing into a career. #animation #computer-animation #character-animation #animation-writing #facial-animation

If I would like to do professional animation for work, should I major in art or film?

So for context, I've always been stuck between going to school for art or going to school for film, because I love the both of them and animation requires knowledge of both skills. I'm always asked about college & I just don't know which one is best for my goals.

How can I get more involved in film/the entertainment industry while still in high school?

I will be a sophomore in a couple months. I already selected electives such as video production(mainly works on my school’s tv show) and animation for this upcoming year and I took “intro to acting” last school year. I’m also in stage crew for our play and musical. I want to gain more experience and I know that these will help but I want to be involved outside of just classes. What’s the next step that I should be taking to get involved and gaining experience?

Is going into a animation career worth it?

I'm a 12th grader and I have been doing art for years, but i wasn't serious about it until I was in middle school. I want to become an animator, but I find it hard to lean the basics and find it confusing to use my program, Clip paint studio. I might not because an animator and just be a freelance artist, but I also want to be able to inspire other people and gain experience from working in an environment like that. I'm unsure if it's worth it to keep trying or if I should just stick to freelance. #art #arts #artist #general #the-arts #career-choice #animation

I have been learning to animate in Source Film Maker and have done a little of Blender, the two best free programs I could get my hands on. I still want to learn more about programs that the bigger companies use such as Dreamworks, Disney, Microsoft, etc.

Where (other than California) would I be able to find good, tangible work as an animator?

I want to pursue animation as a possible career in the future and I'm wondering where I need to go to find a good job once I'm done with college. Where would I even start as well? I've heard of legendary cartoonists jump starting their career by merely having a good idea to pitch and a talent for animation but I have no clue who I'd pitch an idea to nor where I should be looking. #artist #career #college #animation #art #job
