Whether you're trying to get into the comic book world or you're an aspiring studio artist, Guay has some advice.

"Don't give up," she said. "Keep trying to produce the good work. Be critical of your own work so that you can grow and never stop improving.

"Be persistent to get your work in front of people who will give you jobs. It hurts to get rejected, so artists stop advocating. It's hard to hold your ego together, but persistence is the difference between having a career and not."
