Manga Artist Wanted (that just likes drawing)

[TaroSuzuki]

Hi,

I am looking for a manga artist who would draw my manga, since I stink at drawing. Unfortunatly, I don't pay, so I just want a person who just likes drawing manga for fun.

Thanks,

P.S.: I'm looking for an artist around Jr High age, because that's my age range too.

Well, I can try to draw for ya but I can't and don't like drawing in the main manga look, I say main because if you pick up a copy of Astro Boy my work bears a bit of resemblence, mostly because of the simplicity.

I don't mind for now, but I want to get REALLY good.

If you developed your skill, that would be great. Thanks!

I'm going to be completely straightforward with you. You are going to have a very difficult time finding an artist who would be willing to drop whatever it is they're doing and work on your comic without compensation. Limiting the scope of artists to a younger age range is actually counterproductive to what you say you want in terms of quality. Older artists usually have better work because they've had more time to perfect their craft.

In essence, you're limiting your talent pool to consist of those artists who:
- Are highly talented
- Are of high school age
- Are willing to work on an entire manga for a stranger for free

You should be so lucky that you've even gotten one reply on this. That "for free" thing is going to keep away most of your potential partners. Artists are artists because they have special talents, and most do not offer them up for free.

Unless you're willing to compromise on one or more of your preferences, you're going to have a lot of trouble finding help.

I just want someone who can draw something, and I want them to get better, becuase if I were to get good at manga plots, then I wouldn't have to worry about drawing (because I'm not very good at it).

Thanks for the tips, though.
