Although they both fall under the umbrella of art, digital and traditional mediums are basically treated as two separate worlds. If you’re a traditional artist trying to bridge that gap, or if you want your start to be with a tablet, then here are some pointers to get yourself ahead of that steep learning curve. Do gear up Unlike traditional art, you don’t need to buy six different paint brushes, a different canvas for each piece, and a whole palette of colors before you get

If at first you don't succeed, try try again! In 2012, I created two characters that unbeknownst to me would take over my entire life. In 2016, I started working on their webcomic that would launch a year later. Sadly I had to put Sunkissed on hiatus not long after its first anniversary because my life got hectic, but if 2020 was good for one thing then it gave me the time I needed to revamp and relaunch my beloved webcomic! I was part of the lucky employees able to work from
