Dibujando Monitos

Animal Illustrator in California, but was born and raised in México City. Title is Spanish for "drawing cartoons", which is pretty much all I do. Besides art, I like animals and storytelling. I'm also a twin. I volunteer as a docent at the local zoo.

Double project time? DOUBLE PROJECT TIME!

This awesome base by navy_gull arrived today and I'm SO EXCITED to work with it!

There was even bonus art on the box!

Progress pics under the cut.

Accomplished today:

Painting the beak

Gluing the beak on

Installing eye mesh

I will be painting the eyes tomorrow, assembling and installing them. It's gonna be a new technique for me, so here's hoping it goes smoothly.

 🛑 Stop Working for Exposure (Mathematically)

I'm an artist and medical student, and I use art to help me pay some bills.

I built a free, helpful tool because to help prevent other talented creatives from undercharging, as I really see this a lot online.

It's a calculator with a built in reality check

Input your survival costs and expenses

True billable hours

Get the rate you actually need to charge to hit a 20% (or whatever you choose) profit margin.

It generates the rate, a template negotiation email + final invoice.

Plan to keep this tool free, ad-free, and open to everyone.

🔗 Check your math: fairpaycalc.artres.xyz

If the "Thriving Rate" calculation empowers you to double your quote on your next job, please consider hitting the "Buy me a coffee"button. It keeps the server running and the code flowing <3

I am an artist and medical student and creator of Art-Res, a blog where I write and curate art resources. Hopefully you find art that bring

Thank you for all who tried/spread awareness of the tool and also to people who tipped, truly touched by the support and it means the world! <3
