How to turn your art into stickers — Method 1 — ‘Copy’ art
<p>As promised in my previous article <a href="https://medium.com/@niguanta/how-to-turn-your-art-into-stickers-343509508984" rel="noopener">How to turn your art into stickers</a> , this is the first method of our sticker-making adventure.</p>
<p>I love traditional art but I am also fascinated by creating digital illustrations. Because I am able to work better directly on paper and I am still practicing with digital illustrations, I found this sticker-making method straightforward. It’s the perfect method to keep the original illustration as it is. Think of colored pencil drawings that would lose their charm if turned digital (especially how I’d draw it now with my lack of experience). I am crazy about both alcohol markers and colored pencils so for this project, I used alcohol markers and fine liners. And this is how it went:</p>
<ol>
<li>I drew magical potions on marker paper using Ohuhu <strong>fine liners and markers</strong> (nobody is paying me to name any brands, but I love to know what other artists use as tools, so I am returning the favor).</li>
<li>After I finished my A4, I copied the page using the Epson Ecoline 2820 printer. Instead of copying it onto plain paper, I loaded a A4 matte <strong>sticker sheet</strong> instead. The result was nice yet not fully satisfying because the colors did not entirely match my original drawing.</li>
<li>I applied a <strong>sparkling self-adhesive laminate sheet </strong>on the sticker paper and ran it through the <strong>laminator. </strong>This truly gave it a beautiful finish.</li>
<li>I cut out the shapes using a scissors.</li>
