I wasn't sure where to post this...but I am a 2D animation student so I love art and drawing...so i wondered can you trade art etc. for pins?

I dont really have many traders at the moment so I wondered if in the future I put up a trade auction for my disney art would anyone be interested? I dont really have any self confidence with my art so I dont expect anyone to be interested at all 🙁! But when I finish my second year of university in a week I want to start creating my own disney OOAK dolls too and if they're any good i'd like to trade some of those for pins too 🙂

Is this allowed on the trade auction?

This is a sample what i've been drawing at the moment...but due to work I haven't really got very far with it 🙁! Sorry for the bad lighting 😛

It's no where near done yet like her eyes and nose look silly...and now I look at it, I think it looks pretty rubbish 🙁! But if anyone thinks this is a good idea i'd love to know 🙂! I think i've seen a few people trading art for pins before so thought i'd give it a go 🙂
 
That is absolutely not rubbish! It's beautiful now and will be even more so when you have finished it. Wow, It's wonderful how many talented artists we have here.

Aw thank you! That means so much!! I have 0 self confidence when it comes to my art 🙁 so hearing nice things really boosts my confidence 🙂
 
I agree with the others... You are very talented and it shows even in a half drawn picture...

I have had much success trading my art for pins, in fact I had a bidding war once over one piece that resulted in several very highly wanted grail pins for my wife...

The larger pieces are harder to trade as people need space to display them, but there are several members here who also collect artwork so you never know...

Good luck with your artwork and getting some good pins for it...
 
Thank you so much everyone for your kind comments 🙂!
In a few weeks I will definitely put up an art trade 🙂! I've also got a bunch of dolls who's hair i'm in the process of fixing ready for turning into OOAK repaint disney dolls 🙂

My first doll is going to be Rapunzel with a little pascal made out of clay 🙂! I hope to trade some of these with pins too!!

I'm really excited now 😀! THanks everyone so much!!

and it is merida 😀
