COMICS DRAWING: Career Goals, Inspiration, and Motivation

It's important not just to have research material and inspirational reference material, but also big, hairy audacious goals to strive for as well. It's important to never forget what you've always been working toward, no matter how impractical or grandiose it may be. Whatever gets you out of  bed or to the computer in the morning is the same thing you should be making comics and art to work toward. Inspiration doesn't have to be practical. It can be egomaniacal as hell, but if it gets results, that's really all that matters. Means to an End.

It's infamously hard to do a decent theatrical adaptation of a comic book, or any adaptation into mainstream media, for that matter. But that doesn't matter. It's comics, logic isn't the point. If you truly want to work in comics for no other reason than to create movies adapted from them, then go with that. If that's what inspires you, visualize yourself succeeding. Most artists don't and WON'T get any work done if they have no dreams or career goals to inspire them and visualize down the road. Attaining goals isn't as important as working towards those goals every day.
