I love that you are not afraid to show off your work. I had my work stolen before so I get scared to show it for years and years and it stunted my growth. (BIG TIME) But i love looking at peoples sketch books, art, and projects, and I love showing off my Art journals, my sketch books, paintings. Art is to be shared with the world, that's why we make it, that's why we sell it.
thank you for sharing your years projects. They are so beautiful!

Thank you for sharing! This is an incredible resource and inspiration for newbies)
Love your art! There were so many pieces I gasped with “wow, I’d love to have a product with it!”

Thanks for sharing! You got me motivated to make some Christmas Collections 🙂

Ness, thank you. I found you recently, got my freebie from the art summit, and with this video, I'm getting inspired to learn more about surface design.
I'm a self taught traditional artist and crafter, I also work a full time corporate job. Last year I focused on developing my sculpting skills, particularly in foam clay.
Also did some paintings, and tried my hand at entering Stan Winston competitions and the Luxembourg Art Prize, started working on my social media presence and decided I'm going to try and prepare myself as if I'd want to apply to the Denmark animation workshop in 2 years.
I'm also a self taught tattoo artist (not uncommon in Eastern Europe, ) I have been doing them for some years and I only tattoo myself and close friends, so I did some of those. 😅

Do you use a watercolor paper canvas when doing them digitally?

[mjpinkstone]

Thanks for sharing the great information! So happy for your success. 😊 When you create designs for greeting cards traditionally, do you make them the size of the finished card? Also, what program do you use for the layout for your designs/collections? Thanks! Continued success!!

[liangreenwood]

I want to thank you for showing your art collections. I really enjoyed it, you inspire me to want to do some work and tried to sell them. what program do you use for your greeting cards, and where do you put your work up to sell.

[geminiaries]

You're my huge inspiration in every way. 🫶🏻 What are dimensions of canvas in procreate that you used? Do you have a video about it?
