For those of you with some insight into this process, I encourage you to share your own tips and experiences in the class discussion.

As for materials, while this first class doesn't have any material requirements, you’ll need access to a few things in order to get the most out of this series:

A durable notebook and pen. I’m a big fan of Moleskine notebooks. It doesn’t matter what you use as long as it’s portable and can take a beating.

A decent computer. I’m not going to get into specs right now, but you’ll want something capable of running Adobe Photoshop without issue.

A drawing tablet of some sort. I use the Microsoft Surface for my illustration work, but there are lots of other options that will accomplish the same thing.

The Autodesk Sketchbook app. Download the app for free. If your computer is able to handle Photoshop, it can handle Sketchbook.

Adobe CC (Photoshop and Illustrator). Like everything else on this list, there are alternatives out there. This is what I work with, and what I recommend despite the absolute travesty that is Adobe’s Creative Cloud subscription service. Take that for whatever it’s worth.

A PayPal account. You’re gonna want to get paid, right? Make sure you have a professional email address and a PayPal account for your marketplace earnings.

By the end of this series, you’ll have everything you need to open your own online art business.
