THANK YOU, oh geez I thought I was the only one who preferred YouTubers that posted less, haha. I mean don't get me wrong, there are artists that post super often that I love too, but there are some that only post every 2-3 weeks... and I genuinely look forward to seeing what they've worked on in all that time.

"Art is not content". This was exactly what I needed to hear today. Couldn't agree more. I'm currently struggling a bit with keeping up with my schedule and have too many projects I want to do. And however much it pains me that I can't clone myself or work faster and more efficiently, I think I need to slow down my pace a bit and - like you mentioned - focus on quality over quantity. Man... patience is not my strength. 😂
But this video gave me some encouragement. Thank you. 🙏🏻

I'm a disabled artist, and I know what I want, but I've been struggling with getting there.
I can't do something everyday. And social media thrives on that consistency. Watching you explain that I don't have to post daily forever was the advice I needed to hear today. Thank you so much for that.

"The goal here is to launch your art career, not to become a content creator." Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! You speak so much truth Kelsey. I needed to hear this. It is so easy to lose focus when there is so much advice about on youtube. All the best ❤
P.S. I'm loving the notion downloads/workbook in your shop. So helpful. Thank you

I think you're the first person I've ever watched to say that the career/passion you're pursuing isn't the content, and that you're not trying to be a "content creator", there's a difference.
I think a lot of people get lost in the process of staring/strategy that that investment overshadows what they were doing in the first place.
Thanks for the advice!

Thank you so much for this. "Art is not content" is something I really needed to hear. I do realistic colour pencil drawings but I'm very slow because I prefer quality over quantity. It takes me 2 - 3 months (or 60 - 90h of actual drawing time) and I feel this constant pressure to produce more and that I'm never going to succeed if I don't. This video has helped and reassured me so much ❤

Competing with the AI art that is flooding all social platforms, bots that repost my work, people that resell my 3d models is making life as an artist more difficult than ever before. You will see your art on t shirts, print stores, merch stores etc etc and there is NOTHING you can do about it because 10 more will pop up after the one is FINALLY taken down. So bloody exhausting...

Thank you so much for acknowledging that art takes time to create and therefore artists can’t be expected to keep up with a social media schedule in the way that other content creators do. That’s so liberating to hear. I feel like I now have permission to take my time with my work to share quality over quantity x

This is an amazing video and I highly recommend it for any artist! Not long ago I was in a phase of “re-evaluating my art career “ and you basically hit the nail on everything that I realised. Social media should always be a tool for artist! A lot of us fail to remember that being an artist does not always mean being an online content creator.
I hope anyone watching this that was once in a similar place as I was ( confused with the direction of their art career) can see that there are so many possibilities beyond just having a large following on socials media.
Once again this is an amazing video!!! 💖💖💖

This was absolutely incredible. Especially how you outlined the significant difference between being an artist and NOT a content creator. I have social media platforms that I rarely use, because I look at content creators and get anxiety. I do not want to be that intense about social media, but I LOVE creating art and learning and growing there. THANK YOU
