Charles Schulz: A Cartoonist Worth Remembering
Tips for an Animation Career
Becoming a cartoonist may seem extremely tough. And while not everyone will earn 30 plus million dollars a year like Charles Schulz, following your artistic dreams and drawing from your life experiences is more than just solid "Schulz" advice. It's one of the best ways to produce unique, animated material. It will help you enjoy a long-lived career in animation. Schulz used his dog Spike as inspiration for Snoopy, an old girlfriend for the red-haired girl, and a lot of himself in Charlie Brown. Then, he took subjects like rejection and failure and presented them in a funny comic strip that both children and adults alike could relate to.
Ultimately, Schulz brought a whole new attitude toward the comics. He has had great influence on many of our past, present, and up-and-coming cartoonists. He paved the way for new cartoonists like you to come along and develop fresh comic styles and humor. So go ahead and find your dream career in animation and let your creative talents shine as a cartoonist. Just as Peanuts and Schulz are unforgettable, so could you be too!
