It was very amazing tut for making pattern 😮 thanks a lot 🙏🙏🙏☺️
You are welcome 😊
thank you
You're welcome!
Merci! Thank you for this information, it is very helpful 😊
Ça fait plaisir chère!
I also got an offer today from Karen Hall via Facebook? Ultraprimesea? Does anyone have a similar experience?
This was so incredibly helpful and EASY, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I'm really grateful I come across this video. It really convinced me that someone was about to scam me. Just this morning I received a message from someone on Fiverr who wants to buy my art as NFT, I entertained it for a little while and I admit I almost fell for it. He/She offered me 30 ETH for three of my artworks, then he/she proceed to give me a link to this suspicious website. Long story short, you hit all the nails 'because it matched all the modus, and you saved me from being scammed.
Thank you for making this video - it's super helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
what about BID NFTS MARKET?
I personally think NFTs are just the shittiest possible way to make money, but that's just me... There are so many easier, more fun ways.
I love it! I liked how you described the process, and I really like the final result. I've just written a children's book, looking for an illustrator. If anyone is interested, ping me 😉
Wonderful!
I took your terrific book illustration. This really hits to what I am looking to create. Listened twice already and will probably watch it several more times in addition to your other related videos. Thanks for putting this information out there for us who have no other resource.
Wow, thank you!
So do u think it's a scam
NFTs themselves aren't necessarily scams, but they are often used by scammers. It's like check scams - checks themselves aren't always a scams, but there are lots of bad people sending fake checks to scam people, so we have to be careful when dealing with checks. When it comes to NFTs, scams are so common that I think it's not worth the risk.
Thank you very much ness. You deserve the greatest hug. Been an artist sinse I was a child and up till date I rarely shared my works because I was scared of getting my art stolen. I had an issues like that in the past which instilled this fear in me. And my fears kept holding me back. Now I feel so charge to post an art like “right now”! 😊 This has been very helpful. Your tutorials are! Looking forward to more.
I'm so glad that you found this helpful!! It's perfectly normal that you would be wary of sharing your art if you have had a bad experience with art theft in the past. But I'm so glad to hear that you won't let that hold you back! Way to go!
@@ArtBusinesswithNess thank you
Hi! I'm "negotiating" with 2 buyers right now 😂😂😂
Oh my 😂
My whole country does these selling drawings with a lot money, they do this a lot💀
NFT scams are so common that it's honestly not worth the risk... There are better ways to sell art!
This is soooooo helpful thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Somehow, RUclips recommended your videos to me. This video showed me a new path that I was completely unaware of. Thank you very much.
Glad it was helpful!
Not related to scanning, but I need confirmation from someone who owns one lol Does it print double sided on 13x19?
Lol cry me a river alright 😂
Seriously the AI bros are shameless!
Great video Ness!! I want to say that even tho I have worked with 1-2 legit projects, yes 99.9% of them are scums! One piece of advice, always look for contracts as an artist, from legit people and generally stay away from things that you’ve never heard before and have zero information about, most of the scams are obvious!
Well said! NFT scams are so common that it's not really worth the risk for most people in my opinion (especially people who aren't well-versed about NFTs)
I mean but the Instagram hates artists still holds true doesnt it? I mean you said it yourself: "... That way of posting does not work anymore", Instagram is slowly but surely evolving from being a art and photography platform to essentially Tik Tok 2. There are alot of tricks and tips yeah, but all of this basicly boils down to becoming an art influencer rather than just an artist. My Instagram is about my sculptures, which can take multiple weeks or even months to finish so posting every single day, or even just every other day just isnt viable for me, even with doing multiple post for each project there just isnt enough content i can make without just repeating myself. If Instagram wants to become Tik Tok 2 where you have to basicly spam content every single day to be midly successfull so be it. But it can do it without me, im an artist not an entertainer
I hear a lot of artists say that, "I'm an artist not an entertainer", but honestly I think we don't have to be entertainers or influencers to use the tools available to us to show our art to the world. Reels would be an amazing way to showcase what you do and how you do it. A reel only has to be 4-8 secs long and I think a video would do sculptures better justice than a static photo, because you can show it from different angles easier, as well as showing parts of your process which I for one would find fascinating. For many artists it's a big missed opportunity, and most resist the idea not because of artistic integrity but instead deep down... simply because they stuck in their ways and don't wish to alter their routine or process even in the slightest to incorporate making reels. I think that's really too bad, but of course it's up to each artist what they find important enough to put on their to-do list.
I couldn't use the Pattern Preview because I didn't use "Smart Objects". I tried converting all my layers to Smart Objects and it still didn't work. 😭
Timing matters! You have to transform your motifs to smart objects BEFORE putting them over the border - otherwise the motif has already been broken.
I really needed to hear this. I have been feeling so frustrated and discouraged on instagram honestly. And it’s been feeling like nothing is working. Thank you for your advice!!
You got this!
I've watched 2 videos and do not see video descriptions to download your featured item.

Thanks Ness, you've made it make sense.
I'm glad it was helpful!
A person want to purchase my painting as NFT. Please suggest me what to do
Run! NFT scams are so common that it's really not worth the risk...
Thanks you for the wonderful walkthrough of your process. I have a dream to quit my job (teaching art) and become a full time illustrator. My ideal book would include monsters, mythology, strange creatures ... and dinosaurs... there has to be dinosaurs. Thanks again.
That sounds amazing!! I really hope you make your book one day! :)
Love you critique out on AI! Cry me a river. 😆
Seriously, the gall of those AI bros haha
Thank you!!! I want to illustrate a children’s book for my daughter based on my father’s short story about a bird. But I don’t know where to start. Thank you for sharing your experience 💖
That's such a special idea! I wish you the best of luck making your amazing book!
This is so useful information. Thank you so much!!
Glad it was helpful!
I've not had much luck with Instagram. I've been playing with Reels, but no luck yet :(
Hey. Your videos are very helpful. I had a question regarding behance. I use it as a portfolio since I do not have a website up yet. Can we use glaze or low res in behance?
Glaze is a software that takes your image file, transforms it, and gives you a new altered image file in return. You can upload your Glazed image anywhere you usually upload art - whether that's your website, social media, or Behance.
@@ArtBusinesswithNess Thank You for letting me know
I am worried about my art being stolen. I've Ben very nervous and I'm disabled so doing more to post is hard. I wish there was a quick thing I could just do, since I can't always film my more traditional work. I deleted Deviant art and I'm unsure about instagram now, and RUclips as well.
Many artists think filming their art is complicated, but it's really not! You can grab your phone and film a 4 seconds clips of your finished traditional artwork, and that's a fine reel right there!
I get those kind of DMs for commissions.
They're really common... and annoying!
Hey, is there any recommended way to receive payments from a foreign country if there are PayPal restrictions in your country of residence
Wire transfer is safe, or you could set up a Stripe account to accept credit card payments.
❤very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Also why did it seem the views declined everyday
I couldn't tell you, but that stuck out to me too... very disappointing! I suspect Etsy gives you better ad results the first day to hook you, then it declines.
What were the daily views once you started ads compared to what they were normal a day, and sales a day before and after
This was a couple years ago so I don't remember the views numbers before the test. I think the ads brought a bit more traffic than usual, but not as much as you would expect.
Hey, I don't have pattern preview option what to do?
Pattern preview is only available from version CC 2021 and up. You may need to update.
@@ArtBusinesswithNess I finished update but still Pattern preview option is not showing. What should I do? Is there another alternative
@@haymur8533 That is odd :o I had to Google this. From what I can find, it's possible you don't have enough memory (RAM) to run pattern preview. It also doesn't work on artboards, if you use those. It's only available in Photoshop, not Illustrator or other CC apps. And it' not available on the tablet version, only desktop.
@@ArtBusinesswithNess I do have Photoshop CC 2017 version. And yess whenever I try to save patterns from Photoshop it's shows my laptop have low RAM. What should I do?
@@haymur8533 Oh that explains it then, pattern preview wasn't invented yet in 2017 so that version doesn't have it. It's only available from versions 2021 onward.
I always cover my images with watermarks-unfortunately it does detract from the artwork and I have heard that a lot of buyers are turned off by watermarks.
Honestly I don’t think you need to cover it in watermarks. I just put a little information thing in a bottom corner but I wouldn’t cover my image.
Wow. Learned so much
I'm glad you found it helpful!
Hi Ness, I have been following you and recommending your videos. I have a question. Where do I get the glaze feature to put on my art and illustrations. It is an app or is it a website? I want to try it. Thank You so much. Keep these videos coming.
It's a desktop app that you can download for free :) Then you can run your images through it on your computer.
Ah yes my weakness...Surface design on my art haha. I decided to step it aside,I use static or my channel theme for now.
Whatever works!
Thanks! Great vídeo!!!
I'm glad you found it helpful hun!
Seems like calls to artists are popping up all the time now, I’m beginning to think they’re another type of art scam Don’t they usually charge ppl to submit art? Idk
What do you mean by calls to artists? Like art submission calls from companies? Those don't ask for money as far as I know so I'm confused about what you mean.
The thumbnail looks very pretty 😍
Awww thank you, that's very kind! I love pink <3
This was very interesting Ness and I'm thinking about taking your course even though I just do my art for myself right now. Is there an option to take the course any time we like or is it only going to be live during the time you teach it? I have a day job right now so I am interested in evening classes and/or on demand. Thanks for all that you do!
Hi Mary! The lessons are not live, they are pre-recorded and get unlocked 1 per day in order not to overwhelm students. After 10 days, you have everything unlocked and have lifetime access to the content thereafter :)
@@ArtBusinesswithNess That's awesome Ness! I will be signing up too
I purchased your course, loving it so far!
Awww thank you for joining, and I'm so happy to hear that you're enjoying it!! 🤗💗
I want to be a freelance illustrator when I'm old enough but I don't wan't to reach out to companies because they might not respond since they probably receive lots of Emails. Can I go to an art gallery or community and ask people there to be my clients instead so I can get clients quicker?
I know that reaching out to clients is both tedious and scary, because we open ourselves up to rejection (or just being ignored). But that's a normal and inevitable part of working as a professional artist... It would be like saying I want to be an actor but can I do it without auditions because that seems stressful and is frequently unsuccessful! That's just part of the gig unfortunately. We do get used to it the more we reach out, and then it becomes not that bad anymore. Art galleries are a strategy for fine artists or visual artists, but is not used at all in the freelance world. If you want contracts, you have to reach to companies.
@@ArtBusinesswithNess Ok.
@@ArtBusinesswithNess Can I send multiple emails to 1 company if an email fails?
Hello! What about selling all that on stock sites? would you recommend it? Thanks and greetings from Argentina!
Selling on stock sites is a very different business model - you sell each pattern for just a few dollars, so you have to make hundreds of sales to be worth it. This takes a LOT of marketing effort. I've always found personally that it's much easier to sell one product for $1000 than it is to sell 1000 products for $1. So I prioritize working with companies directly on exclusive contracts, where each sale is quite a large amount of money. But it's a personal choice, if you enjoy stock sites better you can opt for that :)
@@ArtBusinesswithNess Thank you so much. It is very valuable to receive a response from someone with experience like you. I subscribe.
