The other day I shared a video on my Spine tutorial channel, Anipalooza. It was the first time I had ever shared a video like this, a speed animation video where I talk about my thoughts and feelings about being an artist and get a bit more personal. I was SO nervous to share this and share a little part of me along with it. But by doing so, I got TONS of comments from people who resonated with what I had to say, and many people sharing that it made them feel less alone in their journey. So hopefully this helps anyone here who needs a bit of a reminder of what they are worth as an artist. 💖

It took me so long to feel okay with using premade stuff. I thought I was cheating or not being a proper "creative" if I wasn't making everything from scratch... but I'm finally figuring out to not worry about that anymore. Do you use premade stuff in your professional work? I use Canva SO much now, Motion Array, UE5 assets, and so many more things. I only wish I had decided to do this sooner!
