Colorear con marcadores - Crear texturas y efectos

Hi Dorothy! Wow, your project collage blew me away! I love how you have created both depth and texture to your illustrations. The hat and shoes are absolutely fabulous. The pumpkin bucket has great reflections too. Seems you have done something amazing with only a few markers, which is not an easy thing to do. And thanks for posting an image of your exercises too, it's great to see how you experimented with the blender to create different patterns and texture. So are you planning to make something with your illustrations and collage? They would be so nice on Halloween greeting cards. You could have some printed and sell just in good time before the holiday :-). /Bärbel

Sadly I don't think I have the structure in place to sell anything like this. I feel like I'd just lose out on printing costs. Any suggestions on approaching something like that? 

Yes, I know. It's tough to find a cost effective solution if you just want to make a small amount, but I think that you could probably find some on-line printing services, just see what comes up when you google.
A tip could be printers that print Christmas cards, calendars and similar products for other companies. And you could check out print-on-demand services like Society6 and Redbubble too. 
Another solution could be to go to any local printer and just see what they would charge for a small amount of cards. Or perhaps if you have a copy place nearby. And the last tip I have is if you have a fairly good printer at home, you can make something yourself.

And then start selling to friends and family. Just the feeling of seeing your creation come to life on a real product is such a boosting experience :-)

The first step is always the most difficult one. But once you take that first one, you are on your way, right?

I still don't have many alcohol ink markers, so I wasn't able to get all the colors on my illustrations to look right. But I was able to still learn and work with the markers anyway.&nbsp;
Here's my page from going through the class:&nbsp;
