Making Stickers

 Hello, people of the world! 





I have already shared about my Genshin Character paintings, but here is a video of my speed drawing. I restarted so many times because I just didn't like it. I tried my best and I'll probably get better over the years. But what do you think?


I also made a short video about me making stickers, and how I quit my job to do this. And yeah pretty much I did, I did work a job from 8-3:30 and then I had a job being a single mom for the rest of the time. If you have read or followed me you would know how I did struggle with my decision on how I decided to stop my job and focus on being a mom and on my art and I absolutely love it. 

True I am not making income, I am making a little but it's not stable. I hope it will one day it's just slow, but it is progressing each day. I do plan to get a job once my kids are in school, I just want to be with my kids more and not pay for daycare for that drained me each month.

People may never understand my decision, or what I did from 8-3:30 every day came home tired and exhausted to continue with my day. 

Making stickers was amazing! I don't have a cutting machine so I had to cut by hand. It hurt my hand after doing 50, but still easy. The stickers stick! I just got sticker pages from Walmart and printed my design on it and cut them out. 

Also in other news, I am going to do it! I am going to try selling my products outside of my home, I booked a spot for the 4 of July. I figured it will give me enough time to save up and get my inventory set up. I have never done this before, I kind of did it once before when I did it at Fan X in 2019. I did it with a friend and we did alright there. 
This was Fan X in 2019, we set it up like this, we as in me and my friend. We were there for three days and it was fun hope to do it again.

Week of Success! Wrong.


Hello, people of the world!

This week's fan art is Meg from Hercules, isn't she gorgeous! 


Also, I make goals of how much artwork I do every week. Lately, I've been suckish at it, this week I set new goals and have been doing alright accomplishing them. It's Wednesday (As of today while I'm doing this blog) and I have done this fan art, working on Ebb and Flow next video if you haven't already go check out the Ebb and Flow channel. I have been working on shorts, which have been really successful and funny.

Ebb and Flow Gamerz Shorts right here.




Also, other news, Easter is over and the next big holiday is Mother's Day!! Yay! I am a mother of two kids and love being a single mama. They mean everything to me and would want to commission artwork for anyone that would like a piece of art for their mothers. 
Contact me for more info. 

You can also check out my store on my website, 








If you do contact me to do an art commission look at these samples for what you would like.







 
Been working hard and also preparing for my book show. I got some copies of my book and haven't set a date but will definitely do a book signing event and really looking forward to doing it. It will be my first time doing it so I am nervous but also excited cause I am really opening up about what I have done and want to display it.

If you didn't here's a link to my books Sweet and Sour 1 and 2.

Have a good day!

I suck at painting






 Hello, people of the world! Krissy doing another blog.

If you've following me on Youtube, I have done three vlogs. 

#1 First vlog video is about me changing things around in my office. I have a small area in my bedroom where I have my office. After quitting and focusing more on my art I changed my office around.


#2 Vlog is about how I created a new website, I pondered a lot about it and finally caved in. Took me so long to figure out how it should look and etc. You can visit the website here, https://www.krissyproductions.com/ it has my store full of art, t-shirts, etc. It also talks about how I lost my apple pencil, which was sad.


#3 Vlog is about how I made bookmarks for the first time. 


I hope to make more stuff like bookmarks, and other stuff like stickers, magnets, posters, and such. I do want a Cricut machine, I think it would help make those stuff for me. But for now, I have a website that helps me with that stuff for now. So go check it out, and get stickers, t-shirts, and such. 

I really hope to become a successful artist, it is one of my skills that I feel passionate about, and want it to grow. Recently, someone asked me to paint realistically and I was frightened of that challenge because I'm not that good at painting realistically. And honestly the first time I tried sucked. I started over at least five times before posting the first one.

Oh, it looks so bad. 

After taking a break from it I tried again.

Eh...it's ok but I wasn't satisfied. Painting realistic isn't my strong suit, nor is drawing animals, I think doing animals is hard. I also think painting realistic is hard, it's not what I'm used to.

I tried it again for the third time. And if you couldn't tell, I was painting a character from a game called Genshin Impact. 

UGH! The more I look at it the more I dislike it, I don't know what it is but I just don't like it. I have tried studying realistic painters on TikTok and youtube and yet I still suck. But what I don't suck is painting Nezuko.

Aww!! Love it!

The Struggle is Real
