Just keep going!
I've loved drawing since I was little, and I'm so glad that my passion only grew as I got older. I've never been to art school, so I never thought my art would be good enough for me to make anything of myself.
A few years ago, I got my first art tablet. It was foreign to me, as I was a traditional artist since childhood. Over time, I developed my digital art skills and upgraded to an iPad Pro, where I use Procreate to make my art. I continued to draw, despite not gaining much of a following, and wondered: How can I go even farther with my art?
Stickers! I caved in and ordered a Cricut cutting machine and got to work. After a bit of a learning curve, I finally had the skills and resources to draw my designs and create a tangible product. With more time, practice, and encouragement, I was able to start doing what I love not only as a hobby, but as a part-time career.
I am so glad I've had the opportunities to learn to bring my ideas to life, and the support to do what I enjoy doing and go farther that I've ever gone before.
