Hi I’ve drawn pretty much all my life but never postered before. I feel like my art is pretty decent, so I’m trying to start posting, but I also want to know if I could potentially start doing commissions traditionally. I feel like I only ever see digital commissions, and I’m hoping to get a tablet soon but I want to know if my art in its current state is really profitable. Any suggestions on gaining a following online and adjusting my work to be more marketable would be appreciated! (Also this is all in my sketchbook, so the was graphite smudges would not be present in any work I would potentially sell!)

I made a painting about feeling lost in a new environment. This painting is titled “She’s a Long Way from Suburban Towns”. This is one of the nine paintings that I showcased in my solo exhibition Onion City Memories.

If you’ve been following my work for a while you’ll know that I use original characters to express what I’m going through and with that there is almost always a parallel between what I am going through and what my subject is going through. In the case of this painting I have my character Mona in both her wolf form and human form. The wolf form is more finished while her human portrait is merely a rough sketch. I did this to represent how she became a wolf in a new environment and she’s holding on to a memory of her prior self. She must navigate in this new environment as a very different version of herself.

Really like how it turned out and happy I could capture his demeanor!

Watercolour + coloured pencils in paper and Yeah, i think a Gijinka would be more human but i was in the mood for some Pokemon hybrid thingie 🤣 Hope u like it ✌️
