A: The answer to that is you should be drawing right now. Stop making excuses. There is no shortcut to improving in art.
In short, you shouldn't just be drawing cartoon characters, but should be doing life drawing constantly. You'll then find that being a real artist isn't just 'getting into Calarts' or 'getting a prestigious internship', its a way of living.
It's a way of seeing the world.
Note, I don't even put Calarts/Pixar on my site because it isn't the artist I am today. Everything stems from my passion for storytelling, not a passion for sucking up and 'getting' some 'perfect' job.This question gets really annoying. I am an artist, not someone who is defined by something I did over a decade ago.
