No diploma required. It would be better if your family supports you. You can learn art knowledge more professionally. You don’t have to worry about diplomas. Learning your true skills is the best way.

Drawing illustrations depends on your ability. No publishing house will ask you the first question: Which school did you graduate from? What level are you in illustration?

Editors usually ask me the first sentence: Can I see your work?

If the work is OK, everything is OK.

I studied arts and crafts at an unconventional Category III university. After graduation, most of my classmates went to work as designers in advertising companies. My illustrations were self-taught after graduating from college, and no one gave me any diploma. After graduating from college, I only asked for 2 months of living expenses for my family, and then I started to earn manuscript fees while studying on my own. My skills improved as I continued to receive manuscripts, and I could make money and support myself at the same time. Now I'm a full-time illustrator.
