Hi, guys today I wanted to make a super quick tutorial on how to create die cut sticker outlines in photoshop.

So lately I've been overwhelmed with a million life-altering mind-numbing decisions, and complications. I've been doing so much at once while being hit by so many things at once that I'm not even sure what I'm doing anymore. 

I've been stuck, and in need of a little more inspiration. I just needed a little boost to spark back my creativity that has been unfathomably drained by stressful everyday life. 

So here is what I have been doing little by little to re-shape my thinking, and regain my artistic sanity...

Here's a quick preview of June flying midair scared for her life! What's going on? Find out next week in Lolitups.

Hey, guys today I'll be sharing all the projects I worked on which failed miserably, and didn't make the cut with the either people I worked with or myself. Some I still like while others are like, "meh."


Drumroll....

This was a book cover that I made which failed miserably. What's going on with it you ask? I don't even know. It's a horrific murderous comedy all in one.

Today I had a bit of finger painting fun with Adobe Draw on my iphone. I can honestly say I like it a lot better than Adobe Illustrator. 

This has nothing to do with my blog, but hope it helps anyone else out there with the same issue. 

Today I got an automatic windows update, and guess what? Something went wrong again (I hate windows updates) except this time there was absolutely no sound on my laptop. 

I was pissed, but here's what I did to fix the issue. 

1. Go to your start menu, and type ...Add or Remove Programs

2. In the search section type in... Realtek

3. UNINSTALL REALTEK High Definition Audio Driver (or any Realtek Audio Driver really)

4. Restart Your Computer

5. You're done. That's it. 

You can use any uninstall program (such as CCleaner or whatever you have) if you want. 

Hopefully this works for you because after trying out so many solutions uninstalling "Realtek Audio" from my programs was the only thing that worked. I tried installing Audio drivers  from the manufacturer before doing this, and it all failed. I kept getting troubleshooting errors, and "no audio devices installed" but this (uninstalling realtek audio) did the trick. 

It's been a long time coming, but I finally got a chance to upload it!

In this video I show you guys how I create a few of my coloring journal pages using canva. I have been creating, and ordering prints of my custom planner journals using blurb and canva for a while now, and thought I could share a bit of my process.

This is more so  a brief overview of what I do rather than an in depth tutorial.

I mostly use PNG images with transparent backgrounds so that I don't  have an issue combining multiple images.

I converted all the illustrations from vectors to PNG ahead of time.

Most of the wonderful images of the cute girl drawings are from Adobe Stock, but I also edited them myself so the original images won't exactly look like the ones I edited in the video, but the look will still be somewhat similar.

Thanks for watching. I hope you were inspired to create your own journal.

I was inspired to create this illustration when I stumbled upon a caricature cartoon on google images. I thought why not make my own version? The proportions of the hands are a bit off, but that won't stop me from posting it :)

I used adobe photoshop, and an XP-PEN tablet by the way.
