I bought your brushes and because of those brushes I have published two children’s picture books. Thank you for sharing your time, expertise and knowledge.
I bought your coloring book and drawing prompt book and just want to say thank you so much! Because of you I’ve realized that I CAN draw and it’s not just for people who started at age 8. You’re dope af and I appreciate you🤗
So excited for your success, you prove that art is not just a hobby. Your brushes were so good I had to make a video on it, and the grip I’m still messing around with it. I am doing the same drawing three times , one without grip, one with my old grip and the third with the your grip. I hope it helps people see the benefits. Just from a few sketches I’ve done it has really helped ease the pain and reduced fatigue .
Truly what I want people to see…art doesn’t have to just be a hobby…AND being an artist doesn’t mean you have to be a starving artist! Can’t wait to see your video! 👍👍👍
Anyone thinking or on the fence about the Pro-Draw Grip, I can say from experience it is a Exceptional Product.! I Purchased mine when they was first launched and I Love it.! It is everything that it says it is..!! Well Made and definitely worth It.! So, yeah if you are considering it, then maybe this helps..
Another great video BeeJay. I honestly don't think my channel would even exist if it wasn't for your channel. You're a huge inspiration to many my friend!
I think I have every procreate brush you’ve put out. They are all super high quality and very reasonably priced. My sales on my site, RedBubble, etc are not much. This is giving me some good ideas. I do need to learn to move my art from procreate to Affinity Designer to make it scalable. Your generosity of knowledge is always appreciated.
I love your procreate Brushes I use them all to make printed tee shirts for my family as gifts 🎁 and it's been a life saver when gift giving time comes around ❤️
THANK YOU! ...for sharing your creative skills with the world! I've purchased two of your pencil/paintbrush sets and used them in creating children's books 🥰 I'm so grateful for your heart, in helping people succeed
Thank you! I'm going to try to focus on this next year. And, including the commercial use license is a huge deal for me as a customer. It's a real pain to try to track the limited use things so I usually don't buy them. I'm going to brainstorm more product ideas for 2023. I may go with fantasy wall art, while I continue to focus on Creative Fabrica. But I'm not sure yet. I might try my hand at procreate stamp brushes. I use them and it's fun.
Thank you for your tutorials! Your instructions are so clear! Have you ever touched on left handed drawers? Living in a right handed world, we Lefties always learn to adapt! I'm always amused how you draw your circles or how you add something and it seems so different than what comes natural to me! I'm not sure where my art will go, but learning some of your techniques I know my art is only getting better. Thank you!
I have a great idea for a digital download(s) for photographers that aids in the printing of their images. I do photography on the side. Creating the files in PS is easy. I am just trying to figure out how to package this information digitally into a sellable format. I just watched your video. It has great information. I will look at more of your videos to see if you go into that.
I got mine, Jay you may need to mention using the pro grip on standard size pencils. I believe they will sell on that as well. I've used it and it works .
@Let's Draw with BeeJayDeL Thanks for your tutorial on KDP I published my first book last months following your tips. it's call Day One Patch Kids on amazon books. This man is the real deal Thanks again BJ
Buying more brushes from you over the holidays to practice on my digital art during my slow time . I'm a regular Airbrush artist that trying to incorporate digital into my medium.
Rad video. Also, ever since buying my ProDraw Grip (Kung-fu add-on) My drawing has improved, and less cramping. I think I have the best review and unbox videos for these. Awesome video. The standing desk really made me pay attention.
You’ve truly been an inspiration. I’ve been an English Teacher for 20 years and had struggled to make flash cards. I’d like to share with you a whole collection that I’ve been working on. We could add them to your clippart and perhaps go 50 50, Hope to hear from you soon!
Love your videos and all the value you give back! ….I have a question….how is platforms like Canva and AI going to influence sales in Etsy or ones own website shop? People can so easily now create there own art or templates….basically anything without being a artist and in Canva one can create loads with a free account - I have noted the huge amount of AI CLIPART coming into Etsy, people selling Huge bundles - that is most properly being created with AI… Should one start moving away from digital downloads?….and maybe start focusing on merchandising, like t-shirts, books etc? This is really a huge worry for a lots of artist and I would love to know what you think, maybe make a video too!
Hi.. can you pls tell me which ipad screen protectors are better for drawing using procreate.. tempered glass or paper feel matte ones. Or is it better to draw directly on ipad glass screen. Thanks in advance
Great video! I'm going to start selling my digital art as a downloadable item. My only question is this:. Is there any way to keep the customer from printing multiple copies of the print and reselling?
Hopefully with time, following the tutorials will help build the skills and confidence you need to start creating your own designs! Use them as building blocks for the fundamentals and then start making your own creations from scratch!
Americans do seem to make more money than any other country. You say 100k like that not nearly a million £ to most of us (it’s a joke, I know 100k is not a million or even close)
100%.... 1000%... 10,000% agree with everything you said on this... BUT... HUGE BUT.... it is not the same for everyone. I have thousands of digital products online... 65+ books on KDP.... 20+ years experience with self-publishing. Huge range of POD merch... A lot of what I make for digital products in a small niche that is HUGE, but full off theft now... my reviews and feedback are 99% positive.... Some of the thigns i make become popular and mainstream.. but a day to 7 days later, there are anything from 2-50 almost identical copies on AMZ merch... stock websites... and so on. BUT. wait, there is more.. here it goes... PIRACY++++ ... it has killed me. Some of my previously good selling digital products are SO spread over google image search. freepik, pixabay. wallpaer websites... etc, no chance in hell of reigning it in. Even my life long friends have posted on social media for such an event/holiday and used my art... but they didn't know I made it, and it was from either google image search, or a "free" image website. I also photographed live music events for 20+ years... any image you put online instantly is spread massively by the fans, watermark or not. Zero value now in that market. (yeah, cool to meet my friends in the bands many times, and after all these years together... but 2-8 hours of works deserve some pay) EVEN MORE CRAZY... I signed up for a website to try sell my ORIGINAL art work.... 3 hours later my account was banned and terminated.... turns out other people had been selling my work, illegally, on that website for years!!! I had to make a video/screen recording of me opening the Photoshop files... opening the back up hard drives from 10 years ago etc.... to prove that I made those files many years ago! Will they give me the revenue those criminals made? Of course not. Did they even close them down? NOPE!! Just removed my products but let them sell their "other prodcuts" which you would have to assume are also stolen. I can not afford US lawyers for even one case, (despite my wife working for 5 out of the top ten US lawy firms in the past 20 years... AL Gore worked at one of them..). But this happens over and over again... thousands of times per year. Amazon Merch... literally 1 week ago I finally got approved, after 6-7 years applying. I think it was because this time I said... hey. WTF???.. I have sold 60,000 plus book on KDP, i want to make some merch based on these books. Who knows really how they decide that? And then for KDP... my best sellers.... soon there are 10 - 100 books who copy the title, the fonts and even the description. Unfortunately when it comes to books, you cant copyright title and description, and Amazon does NOTHING to enforce 100% copys of book cover, even when it is so clear it is a copy. Amazon can see EXACTLY what date I upload my books, what date i write the description and what date the person who copies does for their "book". Advertise your book with KDP paid ads... build it up.. .tweak the promotions.. on the first day of the fourth month, sales plummet 95% or more... happened at least 10 times now! And on, and on and on it goes.... 100% what you said is correct in this video, if it works for you. However, I STILL do client work, and the reason is... imagintion... they say.. hey, I want "this, this and this".. and my brain goes ok... wow... yeah.. sure... and I think it over and it really gets my creative juices going. ++** I posted under this UA-cam account I never use... to keep my identity secret... I don't need any more people ripping off my artwork. People deserve to hear the other side too. 1 person succeeds... 1000 don't. Such is life.
I hear ya!!! I have barely scratched the surface to MBA or any of the others, as far as uploads, yet I had 3 art designs stolen and put onto journals. What a serious pain in the @$$ to get them to remove them?!?!!? Makes it so hard to put in the extra effort to move forward. So, I deal with clients instead. I then hope an online design takes off well enough before someone steals it.
I feel for you. A lot of us are being ripped off, but the platforms make too much money from the infringements. More stringent legislation needs to be created, and actually enforced. Banning listings from China, India, Vietnam etc. may help. Wish someone would develop an image encrypted code, that's embedded for a specific image. The hidden information would have the image creation date etc. Won't stop theft but would help with ownership claims. Too bad we don't have white-hat hackers on our side, who would be willing to shut the scam artists down. Fight fire with fire.

Glad to see your success dude. I've been following your content for a couple years now and you definitely work hard for what you earn.
Great video and so much good information! Thank you!! PS and Procreate brushes are what I'm working on...

@@BeeJayDeL 🙏 Thank you. I'm Proud of it.
Excellent job on this video. I’m new to digital art and Procreate, so this was very inspirational and informative, thanks!

NEVER, knew about that PODCAST! Probably promote more of it? Now I have some catching up to do
Thank you so much for this. I'm interested in selling digitally but don't know how to get started. Or where to sell digitally for free
great work man!!!
How do you include commercial rights in your digital downloads?
Love your videos and all the value you give back!
….I have a question….how is platforms like Canva and AI going to influence sales in Etsy or ones own website shop?
People can so easily now create there own art or templates….basically anything without being a artist and in Canva one can create loads with a free account - I have noted the huge amount of AI CLIPART coming into Etsy, people selling Huge bundles - that is most properly being created with AI…
Should one start moving away from digital downloads?….and maybe start focusing on merchandising, like t-shirts, books etc?
This is really a huge worry for a lots of artist and I would love to know what you think, maybe make a video too!
How do you get your phone screen to show on the screen. Im trying to do that for my youtube videos
Once you can deliver the pen grip to Canada, I’ll be buying one! Congrats on your success!
Just wanted to give you a heads up….we started offering International Shipping on the pro-draw Grip today! Now’s your chance to get one!
When the desk is in sports mode lmao
Truly inspiring, brother
Quick question, does your audience also influence your sales on gumroad?!
Is the prodraw only available on UA-cam? The 10% code did not work
Man! I am inspired!
Thanks for the video, good to hear you are getting better :D. I have brushes from u 2.
Can you make a tutorial how to make those pumping out signs :D?
“Pumping out signs” ?????
@@BeeJayDeL for example 7:21
Oh gotcha…perfect example of digital downloads! I don’t make those- they are motion graphic templates I bought from digital sellers!
Watching now !
👍👍👍
Hi.. can you pls tell me which ipad screen protectors are better for drawing using procreate.. tempered glass or paper feel matte ones. Or is it better to draw directly on ipad glass screen.

Great video! I'm going to start selling my digital art as a downloadable item. My only question is this:. Is there any way to keep the customer from printing multiple copies of the print and reselling?
I had positive feedback, but it was deleted. Sorry if I did something wrong. Thank you for this video, and congrats on all your success.
Thanks so much ❤️ (btw-didn’t delete any comments so not sure why it wasn’t showing up!!!)
Sir do digital printable wall art sell well on Gumroad
Gumroad isn’t really the right platform…better geared towards Etsy.
@@BeeJayDeL sir which digital product sell most on Gumroad
I have your brushes, just need to buy your grip. I can’t sell any of my drawings tho because they’re not my designs lol I just copy you haha
Hopefully with time, following the tutorials will help build the skills and confidence you need to start creating your own designs! Use them as building blocks for the fundamentals and then start making your own creations from scratch!
