We all have strengths, skills, passions, and interests that could be used to create our own businesses, so let's get started! Students will first reflect on their strengths, passions, and interests to shape their brand and art. Then, students will learn Procreate techniques for cute drawings and products designs. This course will also discuss best practices for starting an online shop and tips for growing brands on social media. As students create, I hope that we can build a community of individuals working toward the same goals and that we can support each other through the process! Let's have fun learning and growing!

Munespice
Hi, my name is Nicole (I go by @Munespice online!), and I am a self-employed illustrator located in California, USA.
I love drawing cute characters and using fun colors! I have been passionate about art for as long as I can remember, but it was not until much more recently that I believed in myself enough to start my own business. Prior to Munespice, I received my Master of Science in Art Therapy and gained 8 years of experience working with kids, adults, and elders in art-related environments, including a year spent teaching art to youth, virtually.
Due to my experiences of seeing people anywhere between the ages of 1 and 106 complete amazing works, I have come to strongly believe that anyone can create. We are all in different places on our journeys with art, so no matter where you are now, I know you can do it! Thanks for being here! - Nicole
