How to start your art career without art school? In this video, I’m sharing 10 things I wish I knew when I was starting as a self-taught artist 📕☕️🫖 If I started my art career today, these are the first steps I would take: how to practice, how to build a simple plan, how to learn without getting overwhelmed, and how to slowly find your way as an artist. This video is for you if you want to begin your artist journey without art school, but you don’t know where to begin yet. Think of it as a gentle little roadmap from one self-taught artist to another. ✨ 🐈‍⬛ 🍄 If you’d like to explore illustration, color, and light, my current Patreon course is available for Hidden Secrets and Forest Light Studio tiers.
