Thank you! ❤

the package doesn't say how thick they are unfortunately but it's the Avery Self-Adhesive Laminating Sheets 73601 sized 9x12 inches (i got them off amazon). They're fairly thin at least I think so :) And thank you for the machine recomendation! I have not bought one yet so I will look into that option as well

@@betterunsquirrel thank you! Ooh a Tolkien art book would make a perfect edition to my collection. Do you mean “the illustrated world of Tolkien” because I do have that one! Or is there a different one you’re referring to?

@ pictures by J.R.R Tolkien is the one i meant, but i have that one too! both are good!

@@betterunsquirrel I’ll have to add that on to my list! Thank you 😊

aw you're so sweet thank you!! I'll definitly announce whenever I have my comics/novels/art uploaded anywhere so keep an eye out :) As for your questions, I'm happy to answer them! I kind of wing everything for these projects haha but I watch lots and lots of videos on making comics that you can find for free on RUclips. If you have instagram @gentlecoda and @mlandart both have series of reels explaining how they make comic/manga that I have found super helpful! I also recently found a book called "drawing words, writing pictures" by Jessica Abel and Matt Madden that is an extremly in depth course pretty much on making comics so I would recomend that book! If you're looking for an actual comic recomendation, the Fables series by Bill Willingham is amazing story and art wise. And for art brands, you'll have to be a bit more specific for me as I do art in every medium. Feel free to specify in response to this comment and I'll let you know! :) I'd be happy to answer any further questions you have, as well. Thank you for watching and for the sweet commment <3

@@napnaplemon5343 thank you!

@@hb888 thank you! 😊

thank you so much! 😊

@@aaliyahartspace thank you! Good luck to you as well on your art journey!

@@snowniel I don’t currently have any of my creative writings public unfortunately though my goal is to publish them some day as soon as possible! I’ve had an article and a poem published in my university’s local newspaper and literary magazine but I don’t think those are available in a digital format sadly :( Not to worry though, whenever I do make my writings public I will mention it here and on my Instagram so people can read them!

@@averydow-kenny Very much looking forward to them!

thank you! 😊

Thank you for your comment and for letting me know about the cricut, I did not know there was a smaller version out now!

@@alinatr2693thank you for the comment haha I had originally wanted to do matte stickers but then realized for some I would want them to be at least a little waterproof hence the laminating. But once I run out of the current supplies I will definitely look into shiny sticker paper options!😊

thank you! 😊

Thank you! 😊

Thank you for your question! Ive never wanted to be someone who makes art I don’t love just because it would sell well, because that drains me creatively. What I did for this shop opening was make products out of some of my favourite pieces I’ve created personally in hopes other people will love them too enough to buy them. I know that’s not the greatest marketing or business strategy haha but that’s what I wanted to do for my opening at the very least (it also helps you gage the tastes of your customers seeing what they put in their basket and not). For future drops I’ll definitely lean towards what I think other people will want to buy while also staying true to what I love to create. Because if I don’t love what I’m doing then it’s just not fun, and that’s the main goal for me is to enjoy every step of the process 🙂 and as for standing out, not every idea you have is going to be “original” especially when it comes to things like fruits haha, but it’s okay to lean with the trends every now and then too in your own way :) <3 good luck with your sticker shop aspirations!!

@@averydow-kenny Thanks for the long answer! So you basically just putting things out there atm to see what people like and then later make more of what people like? For example I wouldn’t want to draw apples for the rest of my life, even though let’s say I would make a full-time living of it. Maybe I would if I only had to do it once a week and then get to spend 6 days creating art for myself, then it would be worth drawings apples. Haha dumb example, i hope you understand how i resonate though, because I think I will consider making art that’s not 100% enjoyable if I would be making lots of money from it, maybe it’s only 70% enjoyable though. But in opposite of going to a 9-5 job that’s minus-10000% enjoyable, then creating art that’s 70% enjoyable is still worth it in comparison. But as long as I love it it’s worth it! <3 Thanks and good luck to you to, i’m excited to follow along your journey <3

@@Ok_Zucchini3258 yeah that’s pretty much the idea of it 🙂 always make time to do art for yourself, but also dedicate some time to making things that will sell. And when those two categories cross over, well that just makes it all that much better!

Thank you so much! 😊

thank you!

Aww thank you so much you just made my day 😊

@@averydow-kenny You deserve his beautiful words

I didn’t do any setting changes on my actual printer, I did lots of colour correcting in photoshop and I print straight from photoshop which helps a lot. As for the exact settings, it took me a lot of testing to figure out and it’ll be different for everyone’s preferences but I will definitely include a more in depth video on my process leading up to printing in a future video as someone else commented that! It’s hard to say if your specific colour problem is a printer issue, something that needs to be tweaked in photoshop, or a simple print setting alteration unfortunately. As for the paper, for prints I use Epson premium presentation paper matte and for stickers I use Betckey full sheet sticker paper for inkjet printers (both off Amazon). I hope that helps!

@@averydow-kenny thank you so much for your answer! I’m looking forward your printing process video☺️

That scanner is the one at my university computer lab and I believe it’s the Epson Expression 10000XL. It’s very good quality in my experience (when other students haven’t put scratches on the screen). But I’ve used the scanner on the printer I got in this video and it’s also very good quality for the price tag :)

it is tricky without cricut but not impossible! ☺ and you're very welcome, I'm glad to have inspired some people with my video!

@@averydow-kenny i’m no artist but you do indeed very much inspire me and everyone else here i believe. So thank you.

@@josietorralba4686 that’s very sweet of you to say, thank you 😊

thank you!

Thank you, you’re so sweet! 😊

Im not quite sure what you mean by my before printing process, do you mean my photoshop process and print settings?

@@averydow-kenny As someone who has been selling homemade stickers for a bit, yes. Not a lot of people talk about how to create proper margins, digital artists who don't understand colour differences in print, how to set up cutting files, how to space stickers on a sheet, how to cut different materials and the setting differences, techniques to make stickers easy to peel etc.

@@XenaAndKin ahh okay thank you for helping answer that for me! And I can definitely make a video on that down the line in a studio vlog/shop update video 😊 I also find it annoying that people don’t show all the little details but since I was experimenting I didn’t include it in this one. Now that I know what to do I’ll include it in a future video for sure!

@@XenaAndKinTHIS! Or the few people who have tried to do tutorials on it, didn’t do it well enough to be understood and put to practice.

Thank you! 😊

Since I haven’t built up a big traction yet I haven’t found a problem with the standard size since I can easily go smaller and it does allow you to print on longer paper just not wider. I opted for this size printer mainly for price and the space I have available right now, but in the future I would love to print bigger works. I’d have to do more research on printers or print on demand, but I think if I’m not going to be making loads of big products then I would probably opt for print on demand services, however again that would take more research so I can’t suggest any at the moment. I hope that helped a little. Good luck with your shop planning! 😊

@@averydow-kenny yes that helps. Thanks so much!
