@Ryan
Hi Ryan and welcome. You'll find lots of support here. I too am thinking about creating art to put on various things to sell. There are ALOT of resourses on you tube where fellow artists can tell you how to do it, what products etc....here you'll learn how to create your best art to support that dream.Good luck and we're all looking forward to seeing what you can do!

I know what you mean, I struggled for a long time not knowing where my art fit into this world. I’ve sold paintings at craft fairs done pet portraits commissions, but it was a different style than what I really wanted to do. Children’s literature is really the only place I see my art happening I t’s a bit hard because a lot of it is so specific it wouldn’t make sense anywhere else, so…unfortunately I didn’t offer anything helpful lol just relatability, sorry lol

I think your work has a lovely, simple, graphic feeling. I did notice on your website that your images take a long time to load-consider smaller files or compression? I'm not a techie, but I do know that load time matters.
Best of lucK!

Thank you for your opinion ~
I thought about it one day and I guess I totally forgot to change the file size, thank you have noticed me that 🙏🏽

@CatOnPaper

My 3 questions relate a lot to my current state of need.

What schedule is best for me to grow the type of work I need and want completed? (concerns to be considered revolve around health issues).

What practical steps can I take to reach and maintain a consistent personal style, that will combine both traditional and digital work? (preference to include both but also concern for my health).

What practical steps do I need to start to do to work towards the business side of Illustration?

🙂

Very helpful information guys. Thanks a bunch!
