i'm an old man (44yo) and have drawn pictures my whole life. i've always had big ideas and dreams of contributing to the art of the world but never did anything lasting, never built up momentum, never dedicated myself to the pursuit, never put myself out there. then... instagram! wa-POW! i've drawn every day since the beginning of inktober 2017 and have only gotten better (to the earlier point on this thread). i've been svslearning this entire year, i've challenged myself, completed challenges, and sold more artwork than i would have imagined previously. i have a clear idea now of where i want to go and how i can get there almost entirely because of ig and cross- posting on facebook. i ONLY use social media for my artwork, absolutely zero opinion/lifestyle posts. i can't imagine that i would ever be in the place i'm in now without ig, youtube (just viewing) and svslearn.

this thread is really exciting! what a great idea @KathrynAdebayo . i follow quite a few svs fellows on Instagram and often wonder about the person behind the art, @Art-of-B in particular. braden's work always stands out on the IG feed and now i know a bit about him. thanks.
also, the cato comic series is great!

i love all of these! i'm glad i'm not the judge
