There’s something magical about taking a spark of creativity and turning it into art you can share with the world. For me, it all started with fun little designs inspired by my dogs, Lola & Milo. Over time, those doodles grew into printable cards, coloring books, and even animated shorts.
The best part? You don’t need to be a “professional artist” to get started. With the right tools, platforms, and a little imagination, anyone can dive into the world of digital art, whether just for fun or to create your own products.
🐾 Why Digital Art?
Easy to Start: All you need is a computer, tablet, or even your phone.
Flexible: Create for yourself, make gifts for friends, or sell your designs online.
Shareable: Digital art works beautifully on social media, printables, and even animation.
✨ Tools & Platforms I Use (and Love)
Here are some of the tools that make digital art fun and accessible:
🎨 Canva – Perfect for beginners and pros alike. From greeting cards to social media graphics, Canva makes designing simple and fun.

💡 Tips for Getting Started
Start Small – Try making a simple card, poster, or coloring page just for fun.
Play With Styles – Don’t worry about perfection; experiment with bold lines, colors, or even black & white designs.
