Don't mind me posting here 5 in the AM. I don't sleep at night and I want this thread to sink to the bottom before noon.
I've been thinking lately about putting my digital art skills to practice by making fun portraits of people. There's a strong hype for the new tumblr ghetto fab aesthetic, along many other styles such as 'grime', vaporwave, kawaii, etc.
Say my idea was redrawing regular selfies in a particular style/manner that the client wanted me to. Say I charged 25$ for it. I'd be making around 6.25$ an hour because I'm really slow, but hey, at least it's better than not getting paid at all.
What means should I use to advertise myself besides Instagram and Tumblr?
Mind you this is a side hustle, so even if I get 1 person a year, that's still money I guess.
I got the idea after working on this picture I love so much:
I suppose some people can get a kick out of being stylized too? Hopefully.
Graphic design is my second profession also
1.Order some business ( randomly leave the shyts places )
2.make a craigslist ad in different states
3. make a shopify website for money transactions
4.advertise your services on car magnetic signs
5.Make a design service facebook account and start friending people
etc

Btw...i really want to like have a tiny chat or something or a creative meeting with coli posters....i like the vibe going on in this community.
Very nice.

What size paper/canvas? you wanna talk on pm?
Yeah, absolutely, you wanna talk on pm?
Art doesn't owe you an apology.
And if that's the case, black folks can't do anything without someone making a fuss about it. Shieet. If you don't like that here's some Kehinde Wiley for you.
Sheesh...can't we have fun without being criticized for it perpetuating some sort of stereotype?
That's great advice. Never looked into shopify, always used paypal, thanks for the info
I know you're trolling now

Well, I haven't drawn on paper in a long time. Like, 2013. I was forced to for my drawing class last year, but those are just portraits/basic stuff like this:
idk why this pic is so blurry
And I know this is TERRIBLE, but it was a long long time ago (i think 2012). It's a cool concept so I might remake it
I never had top notch materials (just basic ass coloring pencils, so my coloring SUCKED (it probably still would've because I didn't know what I was doing)
And there was this too, which I kinda still like
3 things:
- Nice work.
- Sign/tag your shyt. You never know whos creeping outchea on these e-streets, nomsayin.
- Is that you in your avi?
Pm bae. Its all good

Ay if you can make me some shyt like this but with my pictures instead, I'd shoot you some bread.
My ultimate goal is to get some shyt like this done. I've searched all over Fiverr and nobody can do it.
I love that art style.
