I Quit My High-Paid Engineer Job To Follow My Passion And Make Comics
Hi everyone, I’m Zack, but I also go by doodlemancer.
I used to be an engineer but found working in a corporate environment stifling, so I made a gamble to go study art instead.
I now make comics about various parts of my life, be it a story from my childhood, or some memorable day to day occurrence.
Writing and drawing comics can be quite challenging but the positive feedback from my fans have really kept me going.

same with me... my parent pushed me to business school and abandoned me from acting dream. After working in the office, I realize "no, I can not do this. My mind is acting all the time". I quit office job, my parents cried, threatened me, but no, I can not live without acting. sorry but not sorry, I am a "bad " kid because I do not listen to my parent.

Congrats on your art work! :) You are talented and really funny! I can't wait to see more of your work. Your career switch is really inspiring for me. You are brave for sure. I can relate to that cat-petting-work-delaying moment so much :'D

As someone who went to art school but is still stuck at a corporate job, I find your story very inspiring! And I loved your comics too! :)

I have the best ideas for cartoons, tried to get my kid's girlfriend to draw them but kid said NOPE. We all have ideas, only cartoonists take them from captions to something great. Looking forward to more.

Hey Doodlemancer! You're my inspiration. I've always wanted to be an artist but never got the courage to. Currently studying engineering at uni, but seeing someone like you make the change showed that it's possible. Thank you so much! I am glad you're happy with what you're doing <3 I hope I can find that too one day. Please keep posting, these comics are lit!!!
