The advice I give to everyone is don't stop publishing your work, even if it's just those two likes, but it's honest work, haha.
And even though it's very discouraging to have few followers and see that the platforms push the same 5 artists, there will surely be someone out there who says, let's see what's beyond the border, and finds you. I started this artwork thing in 2020, after taking a digital color course in 2018 at the video game university in Monterrey, Nuevo León. I had an incredible teacher, such an expert in the art of digital color that I truly believe I have a romance with his strokes, they simply hypnotize me, and although I try not to copy (which of course I can't anyway) I look for my style, always thinking: Would my sensei be proud of me for this? Hoping that he would, I'm pushing the idea of keeping practicing and continuing to work on it.
So from then on I realized that there are many like me who don't know where to begin creating their own line of inspiration. And I decided to record myself doing those techniques, which although at first were just in short, high-speed videos, shortly after I opened my YouTube channel, taking it step by step, which is how I learned and understood it best, and although many might tell you that it's copying, it's simply executing the technique and repeating it until you learn it, after all it says that with 5 thousand hours of doing something you become an expert and master whatever you are practicing.
Well, that is how the idea was born, and to this day I've been doing it, and although I still have a lot to learn, I want my colleagues to know that we can keep growing together and learn from each other. Many years ago I came across the concept of “the boys” club" and it bothered me a lot, because although I wanted to enter that circle of artists I didn't make it, well because, I don't know. We had everything in common, except for an overflowing ego, so I left like the solitary soul that I am, but guess what, I met another one just like me, and little by little a community has been formed to ask for and give each other advice.
After all, that's what your faithful servant is here for.
