Are you interested in selling your hand-painted or hand-drawn illustrations online? (Specifically through print-on-demand sites like Society6 and Spoonflower?) In this class, you’re going to learn the step-by-step process of digitizing and enhancing your analogue artwork specifically for print-on-demand sales. 
I’ve sold over 100,000 products on Society6 alone. Learning professional techniques to digitize and enhance your artwork is crucial for selling your artwork online. In this class, you’re going to learn the exact steps I take to prepare my artwork for PoD sites like Society6, Spoonflower and Redbubble.

We’ll focus on the key steps I take to digitally transform artwork into top-selling pieces: 
<ul>
<li>Digitize your artwork through scanning or photographing</li>
<li>Fuse multiple scans together in <a href="https://prf.hn/l/5Njbgxx" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Adobe Photoshop</a></li>
<li>Remove the paper background</li>
<li>Clean up mistakes (Hello, pencil marks &amp; paint smears!)</li>
<li>Create captivating color options</li>
<li>Infuse metallic textures</li>
<li>Arrange seamless patterns</li>
<li>Save with the intention of uploading to POD sites</li>
</ul>

One key factor for success with passive income streams like licensing and print on demand is making sure your artwork translates beautifully from paper to screen. This class will be tailored to that process.
There is so much more to the process than just scanning in your artwork and uploading it to sell online. What you do in-between those actions can make the difference between an average piece and a best-seller.
