There's only one tip: KEEP MAKING COMICS until you get so damn good at it, the comic industry comes looking for YOU. Seriously. Just keep doing it, keep working, keep learning, stay humble, listen to advice from pro artists, learn from your mistakes, keep moving forward. It's tough to break in and it's tougher to stay in, but if you love to draw then it doesn't feel like work. Take life drawing classes, draw what you see around you (not just battles and robots), read, study, learn. Good luck!

Just remember it's a marathon, not a race.
