How did you start out as an artist?

ART JOURNEY

My art journey started out when I was a little girl. I’ve always been the artist in my family. even though my art mainly consisted of stick figures with two strands of hair and a triangle dress and no arms
Eventually, my parents signed me up for art classes which was how I learned a lot of techniques for traditional art.


It wasn’t until last summer when I discovered this place called the forums. Here, I saw many very talented artists and was when I sparked my interest for digital art. I wanted to try it out so I searched up on YouTube on how to do episode edits. There, I stumbled across Nighty’s video where I discovered IbisPaint X, an amazing app for people looking to start digital art. Nighty’s Video


I continued to make edits on Ibis whenever I had free time up until December 31, 2018. That was when I downloaded procreate and made my first edit on there. It was a whole new experience and took some getting used to, but I was happy with it!


ART GROUPS

When I first opened a pfp shop, it was so horrible! Find it here Not on the customers’ part… On mine. I just took coloring book outlook news from the internet and colored them. I’m ashamed of it now and wish to forget all about it :frowning:. But, I surprisingly was invited to join a group called @Episode-Diamonds. You all will be surprised when I say that I declined their offer. I don’t know why but I just didn’t feel like it… That group I believe also had @Ankita (an amazing artist I’ve had a few discussions with and is super nice) and @epy.kalea (also a stunning artist). Over time, I got invited to a few other groups but declined all of them. I believe in November 2018, I got the idea to collab with a few close friends to make an art group, and that’s where @Episode.Savvies was born. We opened up and created amazing art as a team!
