    Hello! Can I make money doing this?

    Hello!

    Can I make any money from drawing things like this? I didn't go to university or art school, I can't really to confess to know what I'm doing exactly.










    Thanks

    Maybe try approaching a couple of tattoo shops and selling the black and white designs on as tattoos? Or approaching some comic book publishers with a portfolio? Or if you're any good at writing - write your own comic books OR, if you have a friend who is good at writing - partner up with them.

    There is also the option of selling prints of your artwork on places like deviantart.com.

    Try having your own website and market yourself as a freelance illustrator?

    There's money to be made if you're willing to put the effort in, but it's not going to be a get rich quick solution

    Personally i really like them and i think you have potential, if i ever need an illustration doing in that style, I'll come look you up ;)

    They are really good!

    I would agree with linziloop - sell your artwork!

    Get yourself your own website, and maybe you could also sell one of a kind illustrations?

    You could look at getting some of them screenprinted onto A2 and A1 stock. Could look really nice in two colour. Then you could sell them as poster art.

    May be worth approaching a few publishers - they're often looking for new artists that have not been seen before. Try the Writers and Artists Yearbook in the first instance.

    Do you know enough to do this digitally?

    If you can do illustration and produce digital output, there is a good amount of money to be made as a freelance illustrator.
