I think this is one ur best vids 👌, I'm struggling with the direction I want to take my art, I really enjoy drawing anime and I want to make modest following on social media. But I get discouraged seeing those artists in there studios making huge canvas reveals. (which is a current trend I noticed) and here I am with my Ipad, filming my work with my phone. 😅
Thanks glad you enjoyed it. Funny thing about trends is… they die! It might get you quick attention but it’s never really building the right audience for your work! Try to do your thing in your own way!
I really resonate with the “pick ONE thing to master” because of pressures to make a quick buck. I’ve made more money selling stickers and I could go and do pop up events and do semi decently, not fantastic as it’s a big time suck, but I’ve been training myself instead to focus on the work I want to be doing which is designing for and selling t-shirts. It involves a daily practice of affirmations, reminding myself that people do like my tees too, sharing my tees, and constantly reminding myself that this is where I really want my focus. Thank you for sharing ❤
Great video, more great advice! I can relate to and am guilty of literally everything you mentioned lol. Focusing lately on the consistency of showing up, which is leading me to speaking up about my art and services soon. The focus on one thing/direction and being myself. Trying to execute it all at the same time is overwhelming so i implement one of these until its a habbit then I add another, and so on.. it's all slowly becoming a lil easier. Took a long time to learn that failure is a part of the journey and is necessary to succeed and grow.
When you’re in a state of feeling like you’re failing it’s hard to see anything else! When you can make that shift to looking for the lesson, or when to pivot or test, that’s the good stuff!
I think it’s easier for me to have a day job and work on my art on the side all while taking care of an elderly parent…^______^ Thank you for this Awesome video🎉😊
