I Made Merch for RedBubble. You Can Too! Here's How.

I made some stuff for print-on demand sites like RedBubble recently. I started with some short term goals I wrote on paper... iPad paper.

​I started with a watercolor illustration I made a few years ago. I love space, sci-fi, and Mars seems like a popular enough subject that I might make sales to randos xD
Soon I was overwhelmed and didn’t know what to do next, so I got inspiration and education from YouTube videos. I made a list and prioritized it.

I exported my Adobe Illustrator Draw vector file from the iPad to a PSD in Photoshop. It was converted into a smart object so I could scale it.

Then I added textures using Kyle’s Brushes and my own custom textures I made with the Adobe Create app from photos taken during a hike through Griffith Park and the Old LA Zoo.

​
I added embellishments and played with different fonts and layouts for designs using Photoshop. Illustrator is above my pay grade, lol, so PS works fine for me in this situation.
​

Here are some of the designs I came up with and some copy I wrote for each design. It was fun to come up with a little story for each one!

So with one 3 year old illustration I was able to turn that into 5 separate designs to go on 30-plus products to be sold.

Speaking of which, if you want to support me, you can by clicking on this link and buy yourself a T-shirt or something.

Thanks. :)

There is more to come.
