    Thank you so much, especially for what you say in the beginning, I really needed to hear that. I started less than 6 weeks ago, so being at the beginning and being self-taught and not knowing how to draw fancy things, I really have my doubts and insecurities when I see how other people know how to draw. So thank you for your encouragement and for sharing your experience and tips.

    you're very sweet, thank you so much for sharing. I do not make 5 patterns a day. Usually it's a month of drawing in watercolour to then make 6-10 patterns in that set. Where do you sell them at what sites? I'm currently on Creative Market and it's going so so...

I answer in detail where I sell my patterns in this video: ruclips.net/video/M8q9xfzbuJU/видео.html Creative market sells bundles the best in my opinion. Good luck! :)

    Deas Oksancia, thank you for this video. As you might have noticed I'm a big fan! :) I had a look at your Shutterstock profile and I have a question about some of your works there if I may ask. Those works who look like packages, for example, the chocolate packages, is that only as a show case and in fact what you sell is the pattern? Or do you sell them in that shape? Sorry if it is a dumb question! ^_^ Thank you in advance for your reply! x

    • @oksancia
      @oksancia  7 лет назад +1

      Thank you for your questions and for being a fan! :) Those packages I sell as layouts as you see them. They include patterns, too.

  • @jenniferlambert3886
    @jenniferlambert3886 6 лет назад

    You're reminding me of designs I created several months ago and then quit with no idea what to do with my designs. Just wanted to share that with one of my templates, I was able to create and save one design in one minute. Therefore, 60 designs x 60 minutes = 360 designs per hour. Kind of overwhelming the number of designs that can be created in one workweek (14,400). The Lord will lead...

    • @oksancia
      @oksancia  6 лет назад

      Good luck. The speed depends on the complexity of your elements too, of course.

    Hi Dear,
    I have subscribed your channel and i want to learn from you.
    Love to see your work you are great.
    And most you are very loving person i think i felt in love with you :-) but you have already married :(.
    But it's fine :-) ha ha ha .
    Dear my question is how many downloads you have get in one design file.
    Sorry it is ugly but am curious about it :)

    • @oksancia
      @oksancia  6 лет назад +1

      As you get better and better and your portfolio grows on multiple websites, you will start getting tens and hundreds of downloads each day. Each of them is usually very small $, but they all add up in a month to a good side or even fulltime income. Good luck.
