noor Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I am not a professional artist or designer. I was just playing around with Affinity Designer one day, drawing some flowers and trees... and I got hooked! And now, I every time I see nice flowers or trees, I feel challenged and look forward to draw them. I have a lot to learn about Affinity Designer and digital art drawing, but I am enjoying every moment of it. So thank you so much! :D baal_uriel, Renzatic, MattP and 8 others 11 Quote https://vectorartbynoor.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penwiper Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Super nice! Especially with spring on the way these are very appropriate. :-) Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noor Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Thank you :) Spring time inspires me a lot. I am working on a cherry blossom tree, not quite finished yet. But I have done the flowers. I don't know why, I am a bit obsessed with this particular species, called Kanzan. Each flower could have more than 20 petals! I tried my best to illustrate it, and here it is: David, MEB, Patrick Connor and 1 other 4 Quote https://vectorartbynoor.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immary Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 So lovely Noor! Sell them all! :D. Btw, the detail of the pods of the sunflower is amazing! So meticulous! How did you create that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noor Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 Thank you! :D To be honest, I wasn't sure they are worth selling. As you know, I am new to this. Any ideas on how best to do it? Anyone? The pods of the sunflower are just small brown circles and yellowish rectangles arranged together in spirals. I use the Gaussian Blur tool to make it look a bit more realistic. :) gdenby 1 Quote https://vectorartbynoor.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many good works. You may not be working by commission, but you are certainly a gifted amateur. You have a clear talent, and the pictures do justice to the beauty of the plants. As far as selling goes, it will depend a lot on where you are, or if you can manage to ship items which are purchased on the web. Art sales galleries in the city I live in are almost non-existent. Those that appear sometimes are only in business a few months. There are a few groups of artists who share studio space, and once or twice a year they will mount exhibitions. There are art fair, but few artists make much if any money participating. Bigger cities tend to have more galleries, but the competition for space is still intense. Typically a gallery might host 30 shows a year, but have 500 applications for representation. There are also art fairs, but typically the booth rentals are high enough that if you can't sell $1000/day, you won't break even. Cities that get lots of tourist travel tend to have good sales opportunities, particularly if there are seasonal peaks in visits. I've spoken w. several people who have made more money selling thru websites. The down side is that they have to be able to ship works quickly and cheaply. That limits what they can offer. noor 1 Quote iMac 27" Retina, c. 2015: OS X 10.11.5: 3.3 GHz I c-5: 32 Gb, AMD Radeon R9 M290 2048 Mb iPad 12.9" Retina, iOS 10, 512 Gb, Apple pencil Huion WH1409 tablet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kufloyd Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Great work, noor! I especially like the cherry blossoms. For sales: have you considered FAA? It's a print-on-demand website: you upload your work (can be photos, paintings or illustrations), set your prices and they take care of printing, shipping etc. I use it for photography but am considering using it for designs/illustrations also, as I continue to learn how to use AD. You have to do all your marketing but at-least you don't have to worry about the logistics of printing etc. Here's FAA's website: https://fineartamerica.com/ noor and MEB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snuffleberries Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Really like your drawings. Very detailed and beautiful. I hope you will continue to post them on your website. It inspires me to try harder with my own drawings! noor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noor Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 Thank you both kufloyd and snuffleberries :) I had a look at FAA, and it looks interesting. I will investigate it further. Thanks for the idea. I've been trying to post a drawing once a month, and I will try to continue doing it. I'm humbled and pleased that I managed to inspire someone :) Quote https://vectorartbynoor.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
