I got LOADS of questions from y'all in my recent community post, so in this vid I try to answer them all, with the help of my friend + fellow youtuber, Sophia Mitropoulos! We sip some apple cider, chill on my couch, and chat about everything from finding inspiration to carving out time to create. Should I make more of these Q&A style vids? Let me know down in the comments! In the meantime, go check out @SophiaMitropoulos I loved hanging out with Sophia and going through y'alls questions, and the multi-camera set up really made me stretch those editing muscles, but hopefully it turns out ok! I do want to apologize for the lighting issue though, the sun realllyyy starts to creep in on the left side of the frame over the course of the video, hopefully it's not too distracting. ♥ MY DIGITAL PRODUCTS ♥ ○ My Notion Content Calendar Template:https://www.kelseyrodriguez.com/?utm_source=yt-_XIJKEYPUd8/store/p/the-artist-content-calendar-a-notion-template?utm_source=yt-_XIJKEYPUd8 ○ The Artist Youtuber Workbook: https://www.kelseyrodriguez.com/?utm_source=yt-_XIJKEYPUd8/store/p/how-to-start-a-successful-youtube-channel-for-artists?utm_source=yt-_XIJKEYPUd8 ✿ TIMESTAMPS ✿ 00:00 Intro 01:05 Selling your art online 02:03 My hobbies + inspiration 03:42 How I balance it all & what I do to relax 05:05 How to grow an audience on YouTube as an artist 06:55 Where I want to be in ten years 07:55 How I make my videos look smooth & soft 09:03 Camera setups for drawings 09:57 My plans for the future 12:29 What my typical week looks like 14:13 The artist I would go back in time to meet 17:39 Favorite childhood cartoon & fave food 19:17 What kind of music I like 20:00 My secret talent ;) 20:39 What I love about the community 22:02 Tips for small art channels 25:51 How I make time for everything 27:22 How many hours a day you should practice to improve ☆ SOCIAL LINKS + CONTACT ☆ ○ support me on patreon! https://www.patreon.com/kelseyrodriguez ○ website/portfolio: https://www.kelseyrodriguez.com/?utm_source=yt-_XIJKEYPUd8 ○ email: kelseyrodriguez.yt@gmail.com ✿ MY FILMING EQUIPMENT ✿ *referral / affiliate links* ○ refurbished Canon M50: https://amzn.to/3oxl1mQ ○ link for new M50: https://amzn.to/3Dn588V ○ extra batteries: https://amzn.to/3cociOm ○ diffusion filter I use to get a softer look: moment.8ocm68.net/RyZ9P9 ○ another diffusion filter (Tiffen BPM, weaker than the Cinebloom): https://amzn.to/3wUQCD3 ○ best tripod ever: https://amzn.to/3oHoDTB ○ light I use for filming at night: https://amzn.to/3np0qlj ♫ TOOLS, RESOURCES, MUSIC ♫ ○ editing software: Final Cut Pro ○ software that helps me edit faster: getrecut.com/kelsey ○ music: https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/so8fhf/ ☆ MUSIC ☆ All music courtesy of Epidemic Sound!
