Nice and practical tips. I agree with drawing the details. It looks so much better than shrinking it. Making a consistent and cohesive line of artwork it's still challenging for me however.

yes very nice one some mushrooms on the painting of the miniature, also anagram for "Silver Surfer" what does the devil is trying to say to me here ? that if I take "magic mushrooms" I will travel different dimensions and I will see different colors and shapes like never before in my life. No Thank You but No Thanks. I'm not interested in that kind of shit. Like I said before and I say it here again these kinds of harmful drugs are what I call "Hellraisers" they are Gateways to open the doors of Hell and invite Powerful and very Bad Djinns to torment their victims. Peace Next

Omg it's the bloody shrunken/enlarged line art for me! Makes me irrationally angry every time I see something like that lol Awesome video, super useful tips! Thank you!

Lots to think about. Great advice.

Excellent advice, very practical and to the point!❤

If you think you are past your prime at 40, what should I think when I am almost double that! Yes, I do find the technology overhwelming..

Loved this video! This is what I need right now to see how the creative process works for creating a collection

Love it! Very cute design 🥂

Love it😂

I’m going to put together a portfolio and reach to this lady 🥰

Wonderfully cute actors! ✨👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✨👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✨

this is parody excellence

Hilarious 😂!

Thank you Elizabeth! Appreciating the advice and insight with your years of experience. And not saying I could be rich within a year!

How do you stop people copying your designs off your website?

What website provider do you recommend

❤❤❤❤

Thanks Elizabeth for all your advice in this video

Loved this “round table” discussion. I definitely would love more if you all could make time for it.

This LIVE was so awesome and timely. I found myself going back, so I shared the timestamps I found myself needing. You always provide value and thank you! Also, I recommend TRELLO for project management software. I love it! Timestamp: 10:30 - Marketing at its core is understanding your value and communicating that effectively. Timestamp: 21:57 - Passive Marketing "Baseline" Timestamp: 36:20 - Active Marketing Timestamp: 42:37 - Building Your "Antenna" Timestamp: 50:57 - Directly Pitching..."short, sweet and including some art." Timestamp: 57:30 - Rinse and Repeat!

When I started in the early 90s, my first job I worked at a print studio where my job was to mix the colours. In gouache! I didnt even get to paint the designs. What I wouldn't have given even for Photoshop! It was soo boring. My boss was a monster and was so exacting for the shades. I did gain a very good colour sense though

Great tips, thanks!

You can always sell your designs as Print on Demand on your own website.🤗

No one talks about the amount of vintage artwork that large fashion brands literally copy everyday! I spent many years in my career copying vintage paisleys, geos, etc., from vintage swatches that are purchased from vintage resellers...who find vintage on their travels to India. No one seems to be coming for those studios...when they should! There are so many unethical practices that the fashion industry has employed that have existed years before AI...It's so complicated!

I am a textile cad designer that has worked in fashion since 2003. I have recently been using AI to development prints for a print studio for the home and fashion markets for about 6 months now. Theres a lot to discuss! I would like to say that even though AI is fast, it does take time to understand how to use AI and generate images that are workable-in can take hours! I've spent hours generating images in Midjourney and it can be like the lottery--sometimes you get a design that you can work with and sometimes AI just completely misses the mark. So that's where you as a designer have to come in and use your design abilities to take the AI generated images to the next level and really make it your own. Also AI doesn't do things like half drop repeats, color indexing etc...there is still a level of manual hours you have to put into preparing your designs for production. Gosh there's so much to talk about!

This is a whole other level of tack

This is very useful information. Thank you

This is amazing ! Thank you Elizabeth

I am really enjoying this conversation! At 79 I am just getting ready to sell my artwork and surface designs....Chava Tucaziinsky

Thank you - I feel you're so realistic, clear - I love it.

This was very insightful! Would love to see more of these videos :) Thank you Elizabeth

Guilty of thinking that niching down could be limiting. Thanks for sharing this video, Elizabeth, it was very informative. I’ll check the other video you talked about.

Fabulous!

Art agent needed.😊

This was very helpful

Thank you so much

Great interview!

Uncover! I love that. Great interview ❤

Definitely works. Thanks Elizabeth ❤

"We bring that to people by doing what we do." It is so hard sometimes to nail down what we bring to the world, so difficult to identify something that can serve as a seed for self-confidence. I think this will be a good seed for me to start with. Thanks!

Elizabeth - I have seen actual artists; highly experienced SPD designers - cross over to using AI - to me - that is where the real threat is right now - these are not prompt engineers and nothing else - they are either using say Midjourney to either get illo concepts/ complete illo - and then take all that original hard work of ours and repaint it - or bash it together to create a derivative copy - and in some cases : making - patterns with it

one thing - totally get the digital PSD and Illustrator took over from trad artists …. though we still have trad artists … The digital age starting in the 80s - did not steal other people’s art - en masse AI is not the same thing … as say using a digital tool AI is basically a repository of stolen images - a cut n paste machine - pull a lever Digital tools starting in the 80s /90s did not steal other people’s art to function … they were just tools BIG difference ;)

thanks for this video - actually - sorry - you can give visual references one of the more recent updates to Midjourney - watched it happen in an SPD group :(

2:06 I’m pretty sure Inigo Montoya was looking for that Santa.

You need to learn to look at the camera as you are looking above us not at us
