How to Find Your Perfect Art Medium


Finding the perfect commercial medium for your art can be tough. But don't worry, we're here to help!

First, let's start by explaining what we mean by "commercial medium." Simply put, it's places or applications of your art that clients can hire you for. Here are a few options of commercial mediums:

  • Your medium can be traditional or digital.
  • It can be two-dimensional or three-dimensional.
  • It can be static or interactive.




Now, with these things in mind, here are some guidelines for finding the perfect places for your art to live:

1. Ask yourself what you want to express.
This is the first and most important step. If you're not sure what you want to say, you won't be able to find the right medium to say it.

2. Consider your audience. Who are you making this art for?

3. Think about your skill set.
What are you good at? What do you enjoy doing? These should all be factored in to where your artwork lives and what clients can hire you for.

4. Do some research.
There are tons of different mediums or applications for your art. Take some time to look into the different options and find the ones that interest you the most.

5. Experiment!
Try out a few different mediums and see how they work for you. There's no wrong answer here, so be creative and think outside of the box.


Finding your perfect commercial medium is all about figuring out what you want to say and who you want to say it to. Once you've got that figured out, creating will only get better!
