Показать описание
here is the second part of the q&a! feel free to sketch with me and listen during this video as I warm up in my digital procreate sketchbook with some character doodles, work on a sketch commission for a client, and cool off with continuing a Pedro Pascal sketchbook spread from last week :D

I talk in this video about how I am growing my Instagram and YouTube through short form content and fanart. As an emerging artist, I definitely know the struggle of trying to build an audience for your work, but I hope my tips help you in getting your footing! I also talk about some of my favorite artists, it was so hard narrowing it down, but it would be cool to post a separate video going into greater depth about them and how I study them! Furthermore, I also talk about encountering a plateau in you art skills and how I personally view improvement and productivity regarding art. Lastly, I share a bit more about my art career and why I chose to be an illustrator over other creative careers.

The next part of the Q&A will be released next Friday at the same time so make sure to like, subscribe, and hit the bell notifications if you want to be updated! Thank you for watching and thank you for all the love and support!

And I love how you went in-depth with every question this was so interesting to listen to! Leyendecker is one of my biggest inspirations too. I’d love to see how you do art studies💖

I get what you're saying about the fan art vs original art and how it's received very differently by people. I've been both on the giving and receiving end of this and yeah, it's difficult but I guess the best we can do is find that sweet spot where we can both show our characters' stories and what they're about, while at the same time not writing entire novels about them in the description or anything like that because let's face it.. if people weren't invested in them before, they sure as hell won't be when you shove it in people's face too insistently. It's a long game to play but what else can you do, right? 😅
