So You Want to Be A Professional Artist:
A guide to selling art and commissions, and other tales
Written and compiled by: Ash Something

Here’s a folder I put up on google drive containing both versions, as well as assets I used to create this!

Version 1: Standard formatting for general readers, in Docs format
150 pages of real-world experience being passed from ME to YOU, absolutely free!

Version 2: Dyslexia-Friendly version formatted with the font OpenDyslexic (In PDF form since Google Docs didn’t support the font).
289 Pages of the same, due to larger font and spacing inherent in the font design
