Hi, all! So, I recently opened an art shop. I've gotten a few orders through DM, nothing much though. I'm already loosing motivation. You could say I'm pretty busy, and art isn't my first priority, so that may be a factor. I'd like to continue, but don't know if I can keep it up.

I'd also like to try some new programs! I currently use iBisPaint, but it's been very pixelated and crap lately. Preferrably free, as, mentioned above, art isn't my first priority and I'm not about to spend $10/m.

Gimp, photopea, medibang paint, and autodesk sketchbook are some free apps.

For trying to maintain motivation I using put either tv or music on in the background. Podcasts might be a good idea too depending on what you're into.

If I'm feeling stumped inspiration wise I'll peer around DA or watch speedpaints to conjure up some fresh ideas.

Good luck. :D
