Though sexually explicit, futanari tends to be relatively tame. It depicts images of anime-sexy girls with both female and male sexual organs. If you want to become a futanari artist, you'll need to brush up on your art skills and start checking out the futas (the girls of futanari).
Beginning
Learn the basics of drawing and coloring anime (animated films) and manga (printed comics). Most futanari is very "clean" art that requires a great deal of skill to master. Consider taking art classes at a local college or night school.
Study male and female anatomy. Since traditional futanari depicts manga-style females with both male and female sexual organs, you'll need to be comfortable drawing a sexy, curvy girl with a (usually) large ****.
Soak up the different futanari styles and then let your imagination run wild. While most stories and images focus on the girl's discovery of her newly grown organ, some cross the lines into sci-fi or other genres. If you want to become a futanari artist, you should pick a style in which to hone your skills.
Keep abreast of trends in anime and manga, especially "*", which is almost always sexually explicit or pornographic. Despite futas having penises, futanari usually falls in the yuri, or lesbian, subgenre of "*."
Join a futanari forum to share your work via an artist thread. The first impressions reported by viewers can help guide your craft as you begin to dabble with futas.
Check out the many books and online tutorials offered by Hikaru Hayashi. He offers step-by-step advice from a working professional on drawing manga. You'll have to add your own penises and other kinks to create futanari, but his tips are invaluable.
Advanced
Create a portfolio. Like any artistic or animation job, you'll need a strong sample of your work to submit to publishers and developers.

Attend anime and comic conferences, which usually provide you with a chance to meet other artists in your chosen field. Don't forget to bring your portfolio.
Start working on your own comic or story. Since Futanari is a very specialised field, you may have better luck finding a publisher for your complete comic. You can always get a start by publishing your own 'zines or creating a website featuring your work.
Learn Japanese. The majority of futanari is published in Japan, so you'll find more opportunities for a futanari artist overseas. You might even be able to find work in one of the major publishing or toy houses as an apprentice.
TIP
Don't be squeamish. Futanari often overlaps with other fetishes. In order to build an audience as an artist, you'll need to create strong yet cute characters engaging in some type of fetishistic behavior.
