Avatar the last Airbender? I’m asking this question again for anybody who hasn’t seen my question and would like to answer it.

I believe that CalArts, in Valencia, Ringling (in Sarasota, FL), and SCAD (Savannah College of Art & Design) are all strong in animation. UArts, in Philly, might also be good for your interests.

So all of those places are good if I want to make comic books that are not superheroes or character designs and stuff?

They all have excellent Graphic Design, Illustration, and Animation programs, as far as I know. Perhaps you could research them more on your own.

Okay you’ve posted this question like 5 times now. Just bump up one of your old threads if you aren’t satisfied with the responses you’ve already gotten rather than posting new ones all the time.

Well, I sort of get it. Where do you start?
My D went to Ringling for computer animation and is working in the movie industry. She has many interests including the creation of graphic novels. She’s a great writer and has done cartooning and written graphic novels for years from middle school on. She’s serious about publication now.

Things you can do on your own:

  1. Cartooning/graphic novels is story creation. Study how character/plot work. No story is good without good characters. Write stories.A lot. Do character design.
  2. Erase anime from any art effort right now. Especially for portfolio creation. Anime is an art but stylized–you need your own style.
  3. Focus on figure drawing. Take some classes. It’s the foundation at any great art school.
  4. Focus on action and quick sketch. Foundation for animation.
  5. Learn perspective. From all angles.

Dedicated art schools are expensive.
They HONE talents. They can be great but you need talent to start.Hence the best require portfolios. And the willingness to work. Very hard. You’ll listen to an amazing amount of criticism. No pride allowed.
Do not expect spoon feeding. Do not come in saying “teach me cartooning” without doing it at some point on your own. They can teach the cartooning but can’t supply the creativity and willingness to work. That’s your job.
