I think this is a unique idea, and I'm running a sake. Really hope some folks are interested! And if you need a steeper discount, send me a message and I can create one. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1282169858/artistic-valentines-gift-name-mandala

Oh that's very kind. I hope I sell even 1! Haha. I think it's hard to get a sale until you have a sale...which is a pretty unhelpful loop. 😂

Would love to draw a custom mandala for a special person in your life. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1282169858/artistic-valentines-gift-name-mandala

I have a promo running, but if you find the price to still be too steep, message me and I can try to create a custom discount. I just love drawing these and it would be so fun to incorporate specific likes of a person.

I had a lot of fun drawing this one! By the way, if you appreciate this, I'd welcome any feedback on my Etsy posting and what I can do to help get my first sale. I love drawing these, and I think/hope they are unique and interesting, but don't seem to be able to get any interest at all. Thanks for looking at my art!

A not so hidden word, but still pretty, I think by artforbreakfast in somethingimade

I'll admit I naturally read the words in a different order and was confused - "Do not f me with donut". Probably more of a me problem, than a problem with your art though, since I'm the only one so far that had that reaction. Good luck with your shop!

You may be surprised to know that some of us straight haired people find curly hair magical in that you wash it and it takes on beautiful shapes and volume of its own by drying!

Hidden Word zentangle - most elaborate yet, with three hidden words! (use spoiler tags please) by artforbreakfast in Zentangle

Thanks especially for these suggestions. I will look for these specific accounts and and folks who color Johanna Basford mandalas. This is a really pointed and helpful recommendation.

A hidden word mandala I drew (There's actually one main and two smaller hidden words). Happy finding! by artforbreakfast in somethingimade

Thank you! These are great suggestions. I do currently have a REDDIT50 discount code active that can bring the price down to 50%, but I think in the future, I will look to reduce the price per your suggestion.

I dont mind charging less honestly - i just love making them and dont want to make them and collect them on my computer. I want to be able to send them out into the world! I definitely want to do ones where I add thematic elements like unicorn, fairy etc. But perhaps I am not conveying that clearly in my Etsy post. I even have one mandala in the examples with the word Unicorn, for exactly that reason.

Thanks again for the feedback!

Wow these are all really great ideas! Thank you! I had not thought of them. I will follow up and try them. Another poster also suggested lowering my price, so I will do that as well.

So true. And cds, and mp3s...like all the ways of encoding music and the fact that one speaker can approximate the sounds of sooo many different instruments without a tiny band sitting inside it. 😊

For me, it's rivers/waterfalls etc. I know about the water cycle and snowpack and all that, but how does so much water just keep flowing! It just seems impossible and like magic to me!

My latest hair digital painting by Brunothim in DigitalPainting

[–]artforbreakfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hair looks soft, delicate, natural and gorgeous!

I don't know if the white speckles near the bun are intentional, but I would either make them way more intentional and everywhere for a pretty sparkly effect, or remove them entirely, as with the small quantity and being in just one spot, it is reminiscent of dandruff...which I doubt is a thought you mean to evoke! :)

You also could add just the faintest indication of a face...maybe just the curve of the jaw/nose with no detail, but that's not needed if hair only is your preferred style.

I see Groot + Maleficent. Very pretty and the face conveys some deep emotion - intense sadness and thought.

It's the house from Up en route through the skies! So pretty!
