what do i do?
I’ve been in the corporate world for almost 13 years’, but have had a passion for creativity forever – whether that’s writing, or art. I’ve always spent my spare time doodling and making little sketches, but finally decided to bite the bullet in late 2022 and give digital art a try.
I’d never done it before, and thought ‘if I don’t like it, I can just use the new iPad to watch YouTube on’ haha. Well I’m glad to say that my now well-worn iPad rarely ever sees YouTube and is constantly used for the creation of all of my art pieces (which you can find here).
I’ve written a bunch of articles on digital art, especially digital art for beginners. I know how daunting it can be to get started and there seems to be a labyrinth of information out there, but it’s hard to find it all in one place. Hopefully you’ll find most things you need on this site. You can read all of my most popular articles here. And everything I’ve ever published on this site is here.
my mission.
Apart from making art that I want people to enjoy, I’m also passionate about helping people create a life they love through creativity.
Sketch and Blot Ltd. was founded in 2022 by Maria Connelly who wanted to explore her creative passions.
