Back with another paint with me/sketchbook podcast style video! AND WITH MY FACE! In this specific video I talk about the art student curse, what it is, and how constantly doing studies is holding you back from *actually* make the art you want. I share my tips on how I'm getting out of this intermediate artist phase and also touch on how social media can pressure us to create certain types of artwork. hoping to do more videos similar to this in the future, talking about issues in the art world, being an artist online, creativity, all that fun stuff. like and subscribe for more shay rambles hehe thank you for watching!
