STOP Playing It Safe and TRY Something New Today!

When was the last time you tried learning a new craft, art medium, or even a whole new business idea? There's a lot to be said for growing as an artist within a niche, but sometimes you need to break out of your comfort zone and try something completely different.

I feel like this is good advice even in a non-artistic context. Sometimes you may get bored of you job, so try doinging something to spice up you life elsewhere and see how it relfects back onto your work. Same with learning new skills for a new job or title/position. You may not do it perfectly the first few times so remember to take a step back and look and what you've done and see if you're improving or not and how to move in a direction you want. ❤

Back when I used to post my work on Instagram I always strayed away from posting things like the plushies or clothes I would sew or any of my other hobbies because previously if been known for posting only my illustrations and it felt really constricting. Maybe in the future when I start posting again I won't be so afraid to post those things too. I look forward to seeing the other kind of Art mediums you explore! Thank you for inspiring me :)

Thanks for watching, I'm so glad you found it helpful 😊

Thank you for posting this, it was really helpful as I'm in the process of going self employed and deciding whether I should focus on illustration (something I feel very confident in) or doll making (a new skill that I'm very much enjoying). It's so encouraging to see both your beautiful dolls and illustrations in the same world. I think your pieces are really cohesive and I love your style 🖤

Thank you so much! It can be a bit scary putting art out into the world when you feel like you're still learning, but I think it's the best way to grow and improve 😀
