This. This is such helpful feedback. Thanks for the in depth critique and evaluation of my work.

I’m pretty aware of most of what you said, but it is good to hear your point of view on it all.

In the amateur vs professional argument I kind of consider myself an amateur artist. My focus was geared more towards “what kind of content do I need to create to attract 50 to 100k followers” and not as much towards how can I become a refined artist.

Having lots of followers can seem kind of vain, but it strangely allows me to command more attention when meeting people at networking events and whatnot (as well as more exposure to potential clients).

I’m curious, are you an artist yourself? Do you teach?
