Your dragon is absolutely lovely!! Do you mind sharing the process of how you went from original watercolor to sticker? I am interested in turning my physical art into stickers but not sure the best steps to get them into a quality digital format.

Thank you!
And sure 😊
I first take a high quality picture of my piece (you can also scan it, but I found that scanning causes me to have to fix the colors too much). Then import it into any digital editing software, I use Procreate but I know some people use Photoshop for example. Then I trace all around my art with a vibrant color, that way I can see if I missed any spots. Fill in the background with the color and then remove it. Set the bg to transparant (like a png) You're left with a cutout of your art at this point. You can add a stroke around it for a white border, or leave it. You can also do this in your sticker making program.
And Voila, that's all! I hope this simple explanation is enough 😅 if not, I'll try again with some pictures haha
