Many of our students follow these courses as a hobby. However, they are also a good basis to start working professionally as an artist. With your diploma in your pocket you can quickly start as self-employed or as a freelancer. You can, for example, make drawings or watercolors with your self-written children's story and publish a fantastic book. Good sense of humor? Send your portfolio to newspapers and magazines and start working as a cartoonist. In this sector there are more possibilities than you think!

Drawing, painting and computer-controlled effects were water and fire for a long time. This has changed in the meantime! Not only large animation studios use advanced effects, also beginning artists have access to handy apps or online image editing tools. Think of it as an enrichment and use it to your advantage!

On Instagram you'll regularly see time lapses of artists showing their skills in sped up videos. In this way they inspire other creative people and put their work in the spotlight. More and more cartoonists are becoming familiar with their work. They are no longer the invisible artist of a newspaper editor, but have a flourishing career by offering their services more widely. A nice drawing on the wall of your school? A shop window that deserves an original print? Or a cheerful collection of beach towels? A lot of cartoonists will be happy to help you. Painting and drawing have a therapeutic effect, more and more people have discovered this. Just think of 'adult coloring' or zentangles. Empty your head!
