You can't wait for someone to give you a show. That can't be the first time you're writing and drawing a character.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you start with character, you probably will end up with good drawings.
I used to draw cartoons. I'd just show them to some of my friends, expecting that they were going to appreciate them, that they were going to enjoy reading them.
Start as early as you can. Make tapes of your characters.
One day I would like to have my own art show.
At the end of the day, it's really, really difficult to make a brand-new show, to write a pilot where you have to introduce characters and everyone has to kind of be dynamic and have something different for themselves.
I think you have to draw from any character and bring it to yourself as much as possible.
I get less and less sketching done at shows, as more and more people want to come up and talk or get stuff signed. Most requested character? Probably Catwoman.
When you're writing for a show, you're writing part of the script. You have to tell the story.
If you're going to be part of a nationally televised show that airs live and do sketches that haven't even been brainstormed a week earlier, you really can't be afraid to fail.
I only like to write shows that I feel like no one has seen before.
