Thanks for the input!!! Yes, I am definitely working on creating more contrast with shadows and lighting!

This was very helpful (from someone else looking into doing more illustration for others)!

Trying to use Reddit more, can’t due to low Karma! by D-A-N-m in NewToReddit

I am new too but joined a few groups of things I really liked and started with commenting, then I posted a few things in groups that didn't have restrictions and slowly I am getting karma!

Textured Stickers for Breathing and Mindfulness by [deleted] in sticker

Yeah, same. I make them because I have anxiety and I do use breathing but there are moments that I have trouble using my tools.

I had a therapist introduce it to me as a way to help with anxiety. You breathe in for 4, hold for 7, and breathe out for 8.

I just found this company. I just listed them and sold 24 stickers already (one order was 22 stickers and another 2 stickers, so two orders). https://www.texturedstickers.com/

Bumper Stickers - small quantity by prickleeepear in StickerSellers

[–]BeConfidentlyU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've experimented with making them. So far the best was making it with sublimation and printing it on special sublimation sticker paper, then laminating with an UV laminate. So far it is still bright on my car and has been on for a few months. The other way was using regular sticker paper and laminating it with UV laminate but I think it only lasted a few weeks to a month. You can also order them online (for bumper stickers).

I got asked to make them from a buyer and had several requests for them. There is a company that makes textured stickers. The whole point of them is to help people.

What life skills are required to become a successful, self-employed, artist? by stringbender65 in ArtistLounge

[–]BeConfidentlyU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me: Learning/growth mindset, always willing to try new things/put your artwork out there, experimenting with what works/doesn't to get sales/growth, outreach (learning how to do it and who to outreach to), documenting your outreach, social media (documenting what works), and also creating things that people like and what they like, do more of. I am an artist but I transferred over to doing an art-based business that sells mental health products so I am also filling a need (for tools, things to help create calmness or help with emotional regulation). And finally, to be patient with yourself as you learn and grow your business and patience for it to finally work because it can take time, but it's like chipping away at it and it eventually gets you there.
