since I was a wee child, I loved going to stationery stores and places like hobby lobby to pick up cute post-it notes, shiny stickers, and rolls of beautiful washi tape. to say that I have started my own lil shop from home would’ve made little linh proud. here is a (kinda not) informational and semi-emotional journey of opening starfruit press! cheers to new beginnings.

For everyone who want to start a business but don't do it because they're afraid to buy a bunch of supplies and don't sell : start little, look how it does and grow bigger whenever you feel comfortable. Start with just one thing with differents visuals, it might be earings, stickers, tote bags, whatever you want! Just start small and grow bigger, or don't! Maybe it won't go anywhere but at least you'll have done it. It's an new experience, congratulation : you're a little wiser now! Don't pressure yourself on doing big from the start and succeeding in everything you do. It's okay if things don't work out. It's better to have done it. Hope you'll find what it takes for you to make it happens. I believe in you.

Tips that have helped me in digital art are: Stabilizers on. Choosing the brush for you. Adding texture helps for flat coloring or for hiding any unsteady lines. Using some sort of base is great help. Get a bunch of references for what you like. Don't be afraid to try out different techniques in coloring or lineart. Figure out what layers you need for what. Experiment with canvas size.

[@AlwayZash]

Let me tell you what I tell all my friends who think they can't draw: You can. Who says you can't? Who says any one else can?? Art is subjective. No one can tell you if it's bad or not. There may be sour notes in music, but not in art. So just start! Finding your style is fun and exciting! If you're having trouble start tracing! Watch old Disney movies that are 2D and let the lines inspire you! Look at other art on pinterest! Manga! Comics! Web comics! KZbinrs! Nature! Inspiration is everywhere! Have fun and don't let the fear of "being bad" hold you back from "getting good". Even tho there's no such things :)

[@phantomiforgot3750]

look a tutorials if you get bored take a one day break, if you take more than a one day break you will get an art block, it means that you lose motivation and you forget about it that's how i lost my edge in art.

[@franciellyflamarini8946]

maybe you have already learned this, but silhouette has something called 'register marks' that is what makes perfect cuts

[@jenslims]

Francielly Flamarini Beat me to it lol

i want to start a business like this so bad but i can't afford to spend so much money setting something up that, in my experience, will never sell

[@Amadeadraws]

Yeah you gotta build a following first!

[@_shakila]

you can use teespring if you have ideas and want to get them on clothes, stickers phonecases etc and they make everything for you! All you need to do is make the designs and promote your store

[@amandaexcell6067]

Also tip from a fellow broke artist. Do stuff that doesn't require much equipment first. Like commissions, uploading on teepublic (tbh has the best rates in comparison to other sites) , society 6, redbubble, all the print on demand sites! Then you can use that money to invest in a nice printer and stuff :)

[@salmaelamrani191]

@@amandaexcell6067 oh but do you have to pay monthly fees to keep producing your art on teespring? Thanks for the tips!

[@amandaexcell6067]

@@salmaelamrani191 I haven't used teespring yet. I use teepublic, redbubble, etc. But as far as I know print on demand sites won't cost any money at all. What it does it when you make a $20 sale, you only let $4 or so. But you won't lose/spend any money :)
