A Beginner's Guide to Success with Casetify

As an artist, Casetify can be a nice source of passive income. I've had my Casetify shop for about a year and I've been doing pretty well. All you need to do to open a shop is contact Casetify using a form on this page. You should have some work to show them (since you have to be approved to open a shop). If you don't have a website, you can set up a portfolio on a website like Behance for free. If they like your work they will send you an email with instructions on how to set up your shop by uploading a few designs and later setting up your Paypal info for getting paid.

Tools of the Trade – Adding Texture to Your Digital Work

Although I mainly use Adobe Illustrator to create my digital illustrations, I still want a more “natural” look instead of the sleek ,perfectly smooth edges you can achieve with vectors. I use a variety of methods to incorporate more texture into my vector work, both in Illustrator and in Photoshop.

Tools of the Trade - Skillshare Class Review

Skillshare is a learning community for and by creators. Lessons are taught through a series of easy to digest video lessons which are sometimes accompanied by additional materials. Lessons will usually have at least one main assignment with smaller tasks that lead up to a finished product. Although not required, you can upload your projects and progress to an online community to get feedback and share your work as you go. I would recommend signing up for a Skillshare account. You can get access to thousands of online classes for as little as $8 a month.
