@_AKANE_'s post on Artfol

I'm really tempted to start a YouTube channel about being an artist, but I don't know if it's worth it... I doubt I'm an interesting person, or at any rate I don't know if what I'm going to bring can be interesting.
On the other hand, I'd be equally tempted to do the streams with me drawing and chatting with people watching me... but I'm scared to death of exposing myself, even if I don't show my face πŸ™
I wanted to discuss the matter here with you to make a decision and maybe stop thinking about it 😩

Thank you in advance for your help πŸ₯ΊπŸ₯°πŸ‘

Like others said, the first step is the hardest. If you don't do it, you will probably think about it foreverπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Even if you decide to stop doing it for various reasons, you will have earned an experience. You'll never know what could become of it. And should people find out (because you were worried about the face exposing), putting yourself out there is extremely brave and soo many others don't have the courrage, always think about thatπŸ’ͺ
I also thought about Live streaming on TikTok since I have my biggest audience there. But my biggest insecurity is my accent. Maybe we both have to start small. For me it would be a Stream with very little talking and more music until I have the courage for more.
I started doing the same with my videos. I never talked in them for a while but then I did and that one blew upπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ That's also where I got some comments about my accent but oh wellπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ if they have nothing else to say, whatever. Start with what feels right and build up from there.
Sorry for the long reply and talking about myselfπŸ˜…

It depends on the specific type of content you want to make. Tutorials blow up,as well as talking about mildly controversial things. I personally want to make OC focused content,but it’s popularity exist within a bubble.

You gotta start somewhere. I’m also thinking about starting a yt channel about my hobbies and stuff sometime soon, and I also am scared to show my face, but the problem is, it’s already there, on someone elses account. dies oh well. you do you girl! And SLAY!✨✨✨

I made a yt for my speedpaints. Nobody really cares about them. I think videos with art tips or some discussions with you drawing in the background are more interesting. I personally like when artists discuss their favourite shows or character design ideas. Streams are also not a bad idea. You can attract some attention by drawing viewers' characters on stream. People love free art x3
