It's important not to work for rewards...EVER...

The drawing and writing work on comics, scripts, and novels itself needs to be its own reward.

The work on your projects needs to be perceived as a reward in and of itself.

You can draw like Katsuhiro Otomo or Moebius, if you learn to teach yourself not to work for rewards and learn to be rewarded by the work and ONLY the work.

How is that possible, you ask?

Because Moebius and Katsuhiro Otomo both used that technique...

Katsuhiro Otomo's biggest reward has always been his work and projects themselves.

And it shows...

And when an artist only draws for rewards...THAT shows, too.

Rewards include MONEY, FAME, POWER, STATUS, ONLINE COMMENTS, MEDIA PRAISE

Pretty much AVOID working for ANY of those things.
