Lisa Morgan

Really need to do more micro-posts. I usually just post finished work, but it invariably doesn't do nearly as well as in-process works. Thank you for this...gave me some good advice on how to do better with my social media presence.

Loish

thanks so much for your kind words! unfortunately I can't give a lot of advice for that. I mostly got my clients by posting on social media and then getting approached for stuff. I've been very lucky and have very little experience with organizing my portfolio. I'm glad you enjoyed this lecture by the way!

Lu Loram-Martin

This was so great, thanks so much for sharing this! I don’t know if it’s ok to suggest tutorial topics, but I’d love to learn more about how you put together and present your portfolio to studios. And how you find studios to send it to. Thanks again for this video, can’t wait to watch the feet and hands one next!

Thank you!

Loish

haha it's weird how quickly things change on the internet, it's like we're aging twice as fast.

Loish

glad you like it johanna! i think social media is really designed to make people feel guilty and like they're doing things wrong when it doesn't work out! it's important to realize that a platform is just a tool and not a judgement system on the value of your art and posts :)

Loish

some platforms are better for micro-content than others! twitter, tumblr and instagram are especially good for that. deviantart and artstation are great for posting your newest and best pieces. good luck :)

Niquey

I feel inspired to work harder at places like twitter, DA, and art station. I've heard about the concept of micro-posts before too, but I'm still at a loss for ideas to actually do it. I want to though!!

Татьяна Копытова

So useful! Thank you so much!

Johanna

Thank you. It's really hard for beginner artists nowadays to get reach so this is very helpful. I also appreciate you saying if a platform doesn't work for you it's ok.

I missed this lecture, I am very glad that you uploaded it. Very inspiring and a great reminder that we go at different paces. The parts on age had me laughing. Makes me feel old myself. Haha.

Loish

if you can find some discords based on shared interests/industries, it can be really fun. it's a great place to have more authentic conversations and swap ideas and tips!

Reagan Lehman

Love any conversation to do with business and art! Thank you for sharing. I hadn't considered getting connected in discord communities. I'll have to add that to my list of things to investigate.

Loish

glad you liked it!

Loish

hey! that's a great idea for a future video, I will add that to the list of ideas :)

Gabi Creates

Ahh!! I'm about to go to bed and I look forward to checking it out tomorrow 💕

Potato head

Yay! I'm glad we're going more independent about branding and the business side of the art industry. I feel like so many artist rely on " Cher luck". Edit: would you consider making a video about books that helped with your art our just well being and creativity? What elements (tools/technique) you feel can help, enhance our just renew someones art work?
