Growing On Instagram As An Artist, Art School & Productivity | A Chatty Artist Q&A

It's Q&A time! Join me in this quite chatty video (almost a podcast, really!) to talk about growing on Instagram as an artist, whether I think you need to go to art school to be an artist, and where to get drawing ideas.

Thanks to everyone who asked a question for this last-minute Q&A! I had planned to make a different video but decided to save it for another week so that's why it was so spontaneous 😄
