I've somehow never had the thought to work on stuff in the same series all at once, I was doing each one start to finish in separate documents. Thank you so much for passing along that information! Your stickers came out super cute ^^
Yess this way of working was a huge breakthrough for getting these done efficiently! And thank you so much. I'm so happy this video has helped you out in some kind of way 🥰
@@vulpipunk I’m planning to make die cut stickers to start and sticker sheets later down the road. I mostly draw portraits, but I’m using stickers as a way to experiment with other styles and subjects.
Thank you!! I have an Epson eco tank printer if it helps. Colors come out really good without having to convert to CMYK profile. I've seen a handful of artist pick the printers with ink tanks over cartridges since it can help in cost. Hope this helps and sending all the good luck on your sticker shop journey!
This was so helpful! Thanks so much for taking us along and showing us your process. I really want to start making my own stickers (I even bought a printer for it a while back and planned on hand cutting them until I got enough sales to justify buying a silhouette machine) but I still have figured out the process out yet. Mainly, I'm having issues with my printer quality (I'm probably using the wrong settings or maybe I should be using photoshop or something to print from) but I think if I play around enough with it, hopefully it'll work out 😆
Intresting on the printer issues 🤔 I am sure you have already but you can try making sure the printer driver are installed correctly, that you use the closest setting the sticker paper recommends. Also experimenting with different printer settings just to see the differences in quality. Sometimes printing at a slower speed can help with quality. Output. Also similar to my issues you want to make sure your paper settings on your printer are the same as your computer settings. Hope this helps! Oh and the quality of the sticker paper can effect the output as well.
@@vulpipunk I learned at least two things: one is that I should always do some test runs first. Then, more importantly, I should design everything together on one canvas to make sure every element flows well together.
@daveden2 ah! Ok I can totally see how that can apply to web design! I did that when working on my website! I actually plan on covering that in an upcoming. Video. Do you design websites 100% from scratch with code or do you use a service like squarespace, wix, etc? ( I'm just being nosy at this point)
I felt like you kept shouting at me about warming up LOL, I am so bad at drawing without warming up both traditionally and digitally. Thanks for the reminder!
Haha you are very welcome! Been trying to get into the habit of warm ups whenever I dive into a drawing. It has been helping alot and saves time in some cases. 😅
Thank you! & Yes the printer was trying my life that day 😂 it was not spitting the paper out far enough so when it rewou d in place it took the paper with it .. as I was going to grab for it 🫠
I'm having a problem with my print and cut with the same settings on your registration marks tab. I'm so getting frustrated with my machine not cutting right, it only works well with the default format
Oh no! Here are the 1st trouble shoot things that come to mind. Hope it helps! You can try using a sharpie to make the marks darker so the scanner can pick it up. You can try putting matte masking tape over the marks to see if that helps Try maxing out the thickness of the marks to see if the machine reads it better. Also, if you're cutting on glossy sticker paper, make sure that you don't have any light shining directly on your cutting machine. The reflection of the light can mess up the scan for cutting machines and can cause issues. Also, if you didn't know, on the silhouette software you can manually move the paper in place in the machine. On the send tab at the very bottom there are some arrows next to the test button. You can use those arrows to manually move the cut head to the spot it needs to be. I've had to do this in the past when I was having issues with my machine. Looking at the default settings, the length of the marks are longer so maybe your printer makes the longer lines darker and it picks up on your machine and you might have to sacrifice a little bit of paper space just so you can get it working. From my experience so far when scans don't work either the lines aren't dark enough or the placement of the mat on the machine is slightly off. I sucks that you are having print and cut issues hope one of these helps ❤️

Super detailed and informative! It’s going to help me out a lot on my sticker making endeavors. ❤

I’m just getting started with my sticker business! No where near where you are 😅 trying to find the best printer

amazing work !!!
Thank you that means alot 🥹
Ive been wanting to do some sickers myself, and I like that you tackled some of the intricate issues a newby might run into.
That's great because I am a newbie! Ran into so many issues and figured I'd be good to share. Glad this video can help with some trouble shooting
I'm gaining some general design knowledge, which I'll hopefully use in my web design. Thanks for the video!
You have peeked my interest! What design info do you plan on applying to your web design? 👀📄✍🏾

@@vulpipunk, it's totally fine 😃 I'm definitely happy to interact. I work mostly with WordPress. I also do a bit of handcoding as well.
That's so cool! Individuals who can understand code are goated! Good luck with your web design. ( I went with squarespace for my website)
Such a helpful and detailed video! A great idea to work on multiple characters at once.
Thank you! Finding the @sayafire video that shared that tip was a HUGE game changer while working on these!
