Free artist resources

Like many of us, I struggled to get the resources I needed to become a full-time artist. I studied other artists online, spent money on books that were more related to graphic design then murals, and wished there was a place I could go the get free resources.

Everything was either just tiny nibbles of information or slightly large chunks that you had to buy.

So I made one, well I made 2, and helped with a 3rd. This one here and I’ll share the other two below. :)

You don’t have to, but if you want to buy me a coffee in return I will do a little happy dance!

Supply list has basic supplies to the strange and unusual for those weird jobs in a staircase. You don’t need all of these to be successful, I still don’t own most of this. Just borrow from your friends until your using something enough that it makes sense to buy it
