Description

Learn about the power of print on demand—and how to make digital art that will sell!

Illustrator Cat Coquillette attributes a big part of her success as a self-employed artist to selling through print-on-demand sites (like Society6 and Redbubble), and wants to help other creatives realize their potential. In this 55-minute class—recorded using Zoom and featuring participation from the Skillshare community—she shares some of her best tips for creating digital artwork that's optimized to sell online.

First, you’ll do a fun drawing activity to grow your digital illustration skills and gain more knowledge of the tools available to you in Procreate. Whether or not you plan to ever sell your artwork, you’re sure to enjoy drawing these cute, symmetrical critters. Then you’ll get down to business. Cat will share some of her tips and tricks for experimenting with different color palettes, creating designs that are likely to have mass appeal, and exporting your work so it looks great on the final printed product.

Whether you’re just starting to think about selling your work or looking for ways to improve your digital sales, you’re sure to learn something. Plus, students who participated in the live session were able to ask Cat questions, so you’ll get to dig even deeper into what it's like to be a working artist.

You’ll need:

An iPad (I recommend this iPad Pro)
The drawing app Procreate on the App store
(Recommended) An Apple Pencil
