Some quick art tips
- Not selling through social media usually has nothing to do with your quality. Social media is not a 'shop', its where people share things. If you want to sell things, try a street-market (even between the veggies) a few times.
- Don't compare yourself with popular people on social media. Usually they just know how to get followers. There are many great artists without a fanbase, and many famous people who could't draw a tree on paper.

Some quick art tips
- it's not about 'what' you draw, it's about 'how' you draw it. (style)
- quickly mirroring your art makes you spot mistakes in proportions.
- if you get stuck for a day or 2, don't look at it for about a week. It 'reset's' your view.
- if you're still stuck, after a month, just redraw it. Working longer on it is really a waste of time. I just redrew a face on a painting I've been working on for 3 months, no biggy., looks better now.

It's Pride Month and it's the perfect time to post a useful guide I made last year with some updates:
✍️ TOP SURGERY SCAR: REFERENCE GUIDE FOR ARTISTS AND WRITERS ✍️
Although the double incision is the most common and it's totally valid, I believe more top surgery scars deserve be represented and here's my contribution to make it happen.
More info and pictures in the replies 👇

👋 Hey friends, especially agents, publishers, and fellow picture book artists! I’m rethinking my online portfolio and need your perspective:
For picture book portfolios, do you prefer a scrollable page showing full images, or a grid of thumbnails to click? Which gives you a sense of the work quickly? #PictureBook #LiteraryAgents #Illustration #ArtTips

Première vidéo sur peertube, juste un brouillon d'une vidéo que je fais pour apprendre l'animation. Sur leTDAH.
Au fait, j'ai essayé Procreate Dreams, mais bizarrement, cela ne fonctionne pas pour moi, et je pensais que Procreate était si facile à apprendre et fluide, alors j'utilise toujours la fonction d'animation de procreate. J'aime aussi ToonSquid

First video on peertube, just a draft of a video I am making to learn animation. Something about ADHD.
By the way, I have been trying Procreate Dreams but weirdly it’s not working for me, and I thought Procreate was so easy to learn and fluid, so I still use the animation fonction of procreate. I also like ToonSquid

I am working on posting my first video on @MakerTube, I never poster a video on a video platform. How do you find copyright free music ? Or is there a musician that would like to collaborate ?
A Black and Queer creator would be preferred.#MakerTube #PeerTube #MastoArt #VideoTips #MastoArt #FediArt #BlackArt #Collaboration #ArtTips

Art Day: How to make time for creative projects while busy with client work
https://neladunato.com/blog/art-day-make-time-for-creative-projects/While I was writing and editing my first book, I started using a technique that helped me keep up the momentum. Now I'm using it again with my second book.
I believe this is the most reliable way of fitting self-initiated or personal creative projects into our busy schedule!

Tackling the artist's bane in 3D!
Modelling/sculpting a hand in 3D so I can get a better understanding of the anatomy, using my own hand as reference. It's just as complicated as the rest of the body so I think this will prove to be a good exercise for me, at least when I try to draw hands in 2D later.

First proper post open for everyone on my #Patreon :patreon: where I talk about getting ready to handle a really big personal project, like drawing a hundred pictures, and not losing your mind in the process.
The most boring but important part of your project!

My tips for how I add line weight to an artwork: where lines cross by each other, intersect, & where they start/stop. Areas closer to the viewer, that overlap with other elements, also tend to have thicker lines in my style. I also add variation in the face, to help facial features pop more.
✨ I go in depth in what is line weight and how to do it in my tutorial bundle here: https://ko-fi.com/s/b6e3b7fcc0
