Art, Video streaming, Shop running

I make illustrations on an almost daily basis and work on improving everyday as I am a  mostly self taught artist throughout my whole life. Through these illustrations I have made an audience for my work and often do commission work for many people that inquire one. This has built my skills of communicating to clients, organizing commissions or orders for my shop, and prepares me for bigger work if it were to ever come by in the future. 

    

     Streaming is a side hobby I do to have more personalized interactions with my audience to know theres a personality with the art and helps a lot building on the spot communication skills and just figuring out ways to be an entertaining personality overall. It also happens to give some money from ad revenue and people subscribing to subscriptions on my channel to show support for my content. 

     

     I run a shop on Etsy selling prints, stickers, and keychains that I design myself and have been selling for almost a year of getting many sales and receiving lots of feedback. It was not easy especially since its only run by me but it gave me the skills of money management, keeping track of orders and shipping, and overall how to promote myself better to get more customers.
