I feel like my art looks like a gazillion times better since I’ve adopted this technique. I saw this advice from a YouTube video(sorry I don’t recall the creator…) who mentioned one common beginner mistake is to have the same line thickness. Of course he was talking about digital art buuuut this can easily be applied to traditional illustration. If you look at my before: My lines are all the same thickness so I think my current work looks better. The nice thing is I can always go over older pieces I deem worthy to update the line work.

Jigoku Usagi(crossover art)
Another fan art crossover of Hell Girl(Jigoku Shoujo) and something else. In this installment, it is Usagi Tsukino, better known as Sailor Moon. I am liking this more than Jigoku Miku. Perhaps it’s the moon background. Anywho, which crossover from Hell will I create next? Mwuhahahahaa– *chokes on leek*

Signs that a prospect isn’t going to buy/order from your Etsy Shop
Hello dear Internet Stranger who may or may not have an artsy side hustle, business, Etsy shop, Redbubble page, etc. You’ve been there, you receive a message from a fan on Etsy or a DM on Instagram. “I love your work and would love to buy it.

🧣 Why you should charge higher for your knitted goods 🧣
I’ve been working hard(or hardly working) a line of scarves and hats. In my area rumor has it it’s going to be a colder winter. I mean I don’t expect anything extreme in the Peach state. I have several new scarfs I recently added to my shop for sale. >>>>> Check it out <<<<<<<< These scarves are $70 on my shop. “Oh that seems high. “Some may say. Well I don’t think so. I take a lot of time to make each scarf that I crochet. At least 6-7 hours. “Well crochet faster?” Some may suggest. Well I am a human not a machine. After not selling a thing at…

Black Becky with the good 4C hair— crochet doll edition
Clearly my attempt at making a eye catching title could use work. Anywho… This was a commission by a colleague for her daughter. The hair was my favorite part so far. I used crochet hair that is meant for crochet hairstyles. It’s a pretty useful technique and super easy, especially a 4C texture. It can be worked right into the stitches. The glasses are just reading glasses from any old store. I bought them at my local Michael’s Craft supply shop. Of course, as usual she’s completed free handed. You can see the beginning stages of how all my dolls come to be. I typically start with white yarn so…
