My Art Journey To Building A Small Art Business In My Late 20s

Video Description

I turned 30 recently and so naturally I was looking back at how far I've come and my long and winding creative journey from feeling stuck to building my small art business. Making a living as an artist has been a dream of mine since I was little but I spent most of my 20s feeling stuck, trying to develop an art style, and failing to get an art business off the ground. Eventually I got myself together, started taking myself seriously and a year and a half later I'm running my own small art business! 🌷 PRINTABLE PROMPT LIST 🌷 https://gum.co/SSDUe When you're stuck for something to draw you can download my prompt list for free or if you'd like to support me you have the option to pay what you like for it ♥ 🥰 PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/mimimooillustration 🎨 ETSY Find some digital illustration goodies over on my Etsy shop! https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/MimimooIllustration ✨ Get a free trial of CreativeBug art and craft classes (I really like them!) ✨ https://bit.ly/30vI35R ⭐ TUBEBUDDY ⭐ I use TubeBuddy for YouTube SEO and keyword research and have been since the early days of my channel, I really recommend them for improving YouTube SEO: https://www.tubebuddy.com/MimimooIllustration ❤ My Favourite TV Shows & Movies ❤ Get a free trial of Amazon Prime and join me in watching my favourites: https://www.amazon.com.au/tryprimefree?tag=mimimooillust-22 🌼 Mr Bean 🌼 Love Actually 🌼 Downton Abbey --- PINTEREST: https://www.pinterest.com.au/mimimooillustration INSTAGRAM You can see more of my illustrations over on Instagram where I post drawings three times a week: https://www.instagram.com/mimimoo_illustration WEBSITE And for my blog on drawing and creativity tips be sure to check out my website: https://www.mimimooillustration.com ♥︎ WHAT I'M USING FOR ART: Laptop: Microsoft Surfacebook 3 Stylus: Surface Pen https://amzn.to/3xfVd1E Software: Adobe Photoshop Brushes: 'Natural Feel' from Kyle T Webster's Megapack https://www.adobe.com/au/products/photoshop/brushes.html FOR FILMING: Sony A7iii: https://amzn.to/3ga0y4C Tamron 24mm f/2.8: https://amzn.to/2TONZD4 Tamron 28-200mm F/2.8-5.6: https://amzn.to/3vgItGm Manfrotto 190x Tripod https://amzn.to/3xzEOFv Zoom h5 Audio Recorder: https://amzn.to/35dUKRe Elgato Key Light https://amzn.to/3xyVoW8 All music is licensed from Artlist.io.
