Free stickers. That's right. I said FREE STICKERS. Everywhere I go in real life, I have free stickers to share. In my art classes, in conventions and conferences and even on the street. I personally love stickers and collect tons of them. Tons! I stick them on the cover of my devices, my iPad, my Surface Duo and Samsung S8 have my mark on them. I print my work as a sticker because I want to be able to share my work with others and most people like stickers. Instead of sharing a business card that someone will throw in a pile once the convention is over, I share a sticker and sometimes they stick it on their laptop right away! Then next time they need an illustrator, there I am, in a sticker on their device! Should you make stickers? of course! Your art should live beyond the drawing device, beyond the drawing app and onto the world. Produce your art in real life and let the world know where your skills are. Give them something to remember you by. My art goes from paper and pencil to drawing app to the real world, somewhere, from art installations to murals and to t-shirts and stickers. Let your art be free. Make something with your art. These are just a few of my designs that I turn into stickers. I have made over a thousand of them and I have many more thousands to go. If you want to learn how to make your art into a sticker, check out my livestreams on Behance and join us on Discord, ask me questions and let's make something cool!

Pro-Tips: Steps that SPEED UP the Creative Workflow
From keyboard shortcuts to panel menus, there are countless little tricks that professional photoshop users gravitate towards to speed up the workflow. DTM is going to share his favorite keyboard shortcuts for duplicating layers, selecting tools and access your most common commands plus he will tell us about menu options that helps him with his workflow when drawing characters and designing Adobe engineers, designers and developers have focused on building an app that allows you to work smarter, not harder. Let’s put it to work! Full list of tips for today: 1. Properties Panel Stroke Color Fill Color Stroke Size Transform Align 2. NAME YOUR LAYERS! It will save your sanity later when coming back to the artwork. 3. ORGANIZE YOUR LAYERS INTO FOLDERS! Layers floating panel, select the layers you want, hold shift while selecting, then click on folder at the bottom of layers panel. Group 4. Keyboard Shortcuts ALT KEY Duplicate Shapes Duplicate Layers Duplicate Layer Styles Hold down the Alt key and drag! Copy and Paste FX icon from the original layer to the target layers. The layer styles will be applied instantly—no need to fiddle with settings! 5. BLEND MODES FULL ARTWORK Create a mustard-yellow Color Fill layer and then set it to Multiply. Instant vintage effect! Add red on a layer set to Screen for added faded glory. 5b. BLEND MODES INDIVIDUAL LAYERS Start with Multiply so you can get different shades of color from the same color without having to draw anything. No masking required! BONUS! GRADIENTS IN LAYER STYLE Add a bit of shadow to your artwork with gradients from the Layers floating panel. Remember, there are settings available on each floating panel aka window! TEXT WARP Text layer selected and the Type Tool active, look towards the top-right of the Type Tool's toolbar. You will see an icon of a "T" with a curved line underneath. Hit that icon to see a slew of built-in text arcs and bends. Daniel Flores (DTM, DaCreativeGenius) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Atlanta, GA: https://www.behance.net/dacreativegenius |
