It really sucks to see how "social media success" works. Sometimes, an amazing professional is rewarded with fame... many times, the best "marketer" is rewarded with fame. And an overwhelmingly greater number of times, someone who has a LOT to offer goes unnoticed. But I suppose that someone like you Sean, doesn't need hundreds of thousands of views to achieve your mission as "the art mentor". I'm here paying close attention to your advice and getting a lot of value from everything you teach. THANK YOU!

@TheArtMentor 29 дней назад

My pleasure! Can I offer you a more important quality than exposure? What really matters is what you do when no one is watching. People will start to notice it more when you're doing more than most people, but that starts in blindness and silence. How's that sit with you?

@@TheArtMentor It fits perfectly... I've been working anonymously for over 10 years. But to be honest, now that I'm dedicating myself full-time to art, I feel overwhelmed by the lack of views. It's very difficult to need to convert work into money, and not have the resources to spare to wait the time that this demands. Even though the advertising that social media offers is not that expensive, I kind of fall into the paradox of "don't build a well when you're thirsty". God help me!

@TheArtMentor 28 дней назад

@reaperput yeah that’s a common trap people fall into. But honestly, views don’t convert into business unless you’re starting a YT channel or selling a product. Otherwise, views don’t really matter 😅

Excellent advice, I followed your advice several months ago to look for commissions on Reddit and it has been very helpful, thank you very much!

@TheArtMentor 29 дней назад

Glad to hear you're implementing those changes!

29:43"We tend to have a really toxic relationship with time..." 100% correct, in my case. (ill people to take care + comic book artist, gave up on game dev because of time. But I'm steady in my creator-owner comic project aside from my gigs. It was the reason I started everything, and it's the things I won't give up easily).

@TheArtMentor 29 дней назад

Happy to hear you're moving towards the future you want! How are you managing time better for yourself now?

@Amelia_PC 28 дней назад

@@TheArtMentor To avoid straining my hands, I prioritize tasks and fit like a Tetris game. I alternate between painting, which is more taxing, and drawing and sketching comic interior art, which is easier on my hands. This allows me to take longer breaks between cover gigs, which are typically more demanding.

@TheArtMentor 28 дней назад

@Amelia_PC awesome for problem solving that! 👏

Thank you for the video, you really say it how it is

@TheArtMentor 29 дней назад

You're welcome, my friend! What helped you the most in this video?

@kanac-6098 29 дней назад

@@TheArtMentor I like how you mentioned artist being bad at communicating with people and it can't be overstated, I have so many amazing artist friends who are severely held back by the fact that they don't have any communication skills.

@TheCuratorialMethod Месяц назад

Really supportive and great advice here. 💪I'd also add that there can be wonderful opportunities to make connections and conversations with clients and critics in real life--so don't ignore IRL events and relationship building! 🤗

@TheArtMentor 29 дней назад

So true! What types of events have you attended that you recommend?

@TheCuratorialMethod 28 дней назад

@@TheArtMentor Gallery openings are obvious, I know, but truly--go where the collectors are! I also always recommend getting memberships at your local arts museums and organizations and going to events there as well!

Great video----for a moment i thought this was a Bingo game, i was like im winning. :(

@TheArtMentor 29 дней назад

Thanks so much! It's great to hear you're doing so well! Can I also tell you that I've been a fan of your art for years? It's so cool and humbling to see you watching my channel. Reach out some time if you ever wanna chat about art!

@NightmareDoesArt Месяц назад

When should we actually ask for money in the interaction?

@TheArtMentor 29 дней назад

Have you seen my video on how to talk to art clients? It has the whole outline and includes that

@NightmareDoesArt 29 дней назад

@@TheArtMentor I am sorry I haven't have you explained when we ask for money in the interaction in that video? If yes then will watch it soon And before that we should ask for money after completely understanding what the client want right? And we should only start to work after receiving? Plz correct me if I am wrong and thank you for responding to my comment 🙏

@TheArtMentor 21 день назад

Yes you have the right idea! Only work after payment, and only ask for payment after fully comprehending the scope of the project

@TheArtMentor 29 дней назад

Sorry to hear. What specifically was your business that required that much overhead?

@DebM88 Месяц назад

Love your most of your advice and the intention behind this video, but filming yourself telling people to commit "tax evasion", is not a smart move. 😬

@TheArtMentor Месяц назад

Can I recommend you rewatch that segment? I fear you missed an important section 😅 if you aren’t an LLC, you can and should still claim your earnings as additional income. I’ve also spoken about that in prior videos. Does that clarify? I would never advocate for that
