Yeehaw

I will send you the link to pay me for my commissions after we've discussed the details of your commission and how much it will cost! I accept payment through Venmo, CashApp, PayPal, and Ko-Fi only!

My ToyHouse has all my previous commissions as well as my other character art!

I will send you the link to pay me for my commissions after we've discussed the details of your commission and how much it will cost!

My Discord is fandomdestroyer if you want a more instantaneous reply!!

I will notify you when I start your commission and keep in contact with you as I go through the process of drawing it to make sure you're getting what you want. It should be completed within a week of being commissioned. Once completed, you are not allowed to sell the commission off (unless in a big batch of art when selling off the character, and in that case do not charge more than I charged you for the commission). I ask with my commissions that you don't claim the art as your own or edit it since I've been doing my best to take in critiques and change details to fit what you had in mind originally. I'm alright with you reposting it wherever you see fit though, so long as proper credit is given! Because of my time and care taken to make sure that the commission is what you had in mind, I will not be giving refunds once I've started the commission. If you purchased a commission that I have not yet started and you would like to cancel, let me know and I will make sure you get a full refund. My commissions are for personal use only, and should not be used in charms, stickers, or any other commercially profitable item.

During emergency times I may lower my prices or offer deals ($5 icons, $10 "whatever you wants", etc.) to encourage commissions in exchange for aid.

Hello hello! I delayed answering this cause I REALLY wanted to give you a good answer cause the world of copyright and censorship is a doozy on YouTube.

EZZRIIN’S CRASH COURSE ON COPYRIGHT

Disclaimer: This is unprofessional and not fact checked - just personal experience.

1. Yes, you can earn money through YouTube. This is called revenue and can be earned through advertising (being the most popular method). You link your brand YouTube account through verification to YouTube the company, and they will monitor your videos (this can be seen through YouTube Studio) and they’ll send you money per month if you make an amount over a certain threshold. I think you have to earn over $100 per month for them to start sending you that money.

2. How do I get this money!? I hear you scream. Well, if your video is completely original, every sound, every piece of audio, visual is original, you won’t have any issues being monetised. (Monetise: To make money off of) Because if it doesn’t breach anyone else’s ownership or copyright of a piece of media, you’re good to go! The only issue you’ll have is getting views on it to THEN earn money. For me it starts mattering when I at least get 1000 views.

3. Ok so, copyright: what is it? Copyright laws differ from country to country but I can give you Australia’s copyright laws which could be similar.

“Copyright is a legal right that protects original creative works from unauthorized use, granting the creator certain exclusive rights over their work. This protection is automatic and free upon creation, meaning you don't need to register your work to be protected”

In stupid people terms: If you create something original you have exclusive rights and ownership automatically. Has to be completely original though.

4. EXAMPLES!

My Hot To Go animatic is 100% copyrighted because ain’t no way I’d be able to message Chappell Roan or whoever owns her music like “ayo, can i use this in a minecraft youtuber fan animatic?” No. Just no. So therefore, no money/revenue earned on that. I also can’t claim it as entirely my work in showreels or my own personal freelancing because it includes material (music) under someone else’s ownership.

The Target Practice animatic is an unusual case because I found it on a free music website (check out FreeMusicArchive or Uppbeat). It was labelled as royalty free - sooo I found a way to use it. It earns revenue because of this because YouTube can’t sniff out any copyrighted material.

Assume that almost every pop song is copyrighted because there are always multiple layers of ownership there.

Funnily enough, a lot of video game music can be used in videos. Uhhh, there’s reasons for that…but I can’t remember.

THE LINGO

Copyright - “the legal right that protects original creative works from unauthorized use, granting the creator certain exclusive rights over their work. This protection is automatic and free upon creation, meaning you don't need to register your work to be protected”

Copystrike - “when a copyright owner successfully reports a video for infringing their copyright”. This usually only happens if your video is getting A LOT of attention. So much so that the copyright owners like “what the fuck, stop it” and they’ll wanna get it taken down. That or you did some bad shit with their music in your video.

Revenue - money earned from a YouTube video, coming from views on a monetised video.

Monetise/Demonetise - money being earned on a piece of media or not being earned on a piece of media.

Royalty Free - you pay a one-time fee for the right to use copyrighted material (like music or images) without having to pay additional royalties or license fees for each use.

Creative Commons 0 - “a public dedication tool that allows creators to waive their copyright and related rights, placing their work into the worldwide public domain”. Basically free shit.

Hope this helped <3

Collab time baby

After seeing post like this 👇

And this gem 👇

As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.

Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.

📺Here is my list:

Proko (Free, mostly teaches anatomy and how to draw people. But does have art talks and teaches the basics.)

Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard and teaches you everything)

Aaron Rutten (free, tips about art, talks about art programs and the best products for digital art)

BoroCG (free, teaches a verity of art mediums from 3D modeling to digital painting. As well as some tips that can be used across styles)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free, teaches digital painting and has classes in Spanish)

Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)

Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price. Mostly teaching character designs and simple backgrounds.)

SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)

Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)

The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney. Mostly nature art)

Sinix Design (has some tips on drawing people)

Winged canvas (art school for free on a verity of mediums)

Bob Ross (just a good time, learn how to paint, as well as how too relax when doing art. "there are no mistakes only happy accidents", this channel also provides tips from another artist)

Scott Christian Sava (Inspiration and provides tips and advice)

Pikat (art advice and critiques)

Drawbox (a suggested cheap online art school, made of a community of artist)

Skillshare (A cheap learning site that has art classes ranging from traditional to digital. As well as Animation and tutorials on art programs. All under one price, in the USA it's around $34 a month)

Human anatomy for artist (not a video or teacher but the site is full of awesome refs to practice and get better at anatomy)

Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.

📚Here is my list:

The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.

"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.

"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.

"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.

"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.

"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.

"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.

"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.

"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.

Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.

📝As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. If you want to go fancy Michaels is always a good place for traditional supplies. They also get in some good sales and discounts. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are usually more expensive.

For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.

💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.

Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates. Galaxy, Windows, macOS, iPad, iPhone, Android, or Chromebook device. )

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99 usd, IPAD & IPHONE ONLY)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, animation and more. Free)

PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Aseprite ($19.99 usd but has a free trail, for pixel art Windows & macOS)

Drawpile (free and for if you want to draw with others)

IbisPaint (free, phone app ONLY)

Medibang (free, IPAD, Android and PC)

NOTE: Some of these can work on almost any computer like Clip and Sai but others will require a bit stronger computer like Blender. Please check their sites for if your computer is compatible.

So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.

I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day.
