    I gave up drawing because I didn't have any idea of how to earn with my art work. Then after 3 years, i came across your videos on RUclips, it inspired me so much that i am back to drawing again and creating my own portfolio. I love all of your videos and contents, i sometimes rewatch your videos whenever i feel discouraged. You're such an inspiration mimi.. 🥰💞

      Mimi you are the best!

    I was looking through art videos for how to get started as an artist online. I found all kinds of videos about people using AI and free images to make coloring books to sell. I was laughing at their foolishness because it seemed like they were taking the easy way out and this was understandable to me. Then I came across your video and watched it again. Then I remembered how some people don't give up on their dreams. I'm extremely grateful for your advice because it's realistic, honest, inspiring, and motivating. And this is exactly the advice I need to get started. 🙂

    I just launched my Etsy shop for my art business a few days ago because I have the summer to focus on making art. Despite it being summer, I find it hard to concentrate on making art consistently. But watching this video helped me regain some motivation to work on art again, since it’s a new (few years) dream of mine to have my own art business. Thank you :)

    I have been trying to grow my art RUclips channel by posting every week, and it is super slow-going, but when I look at the growth in the last six months, I do see some positive signs. Even though I am not pursuing art as a business, I still find your advice valuable. 🌸

    Mimi your videos and patreon have been a help and Inspiration. I’m also on a crazy art journey with many ups and downs with a goal to become a children’s book illustrator. I have a great opportunity to have my work shown to a publisher in the form of a fully illustrated book and I honestly don’t think I would of had the courage or inspiration to go for it without these videos. Hugs Mimi keep up the great work!

    I took that same Etsy class in preparation for opening my shop and I thought it was great (even though I ran a successful shop for over a decade on Etsy, its been closed for a few years and I know things have changed!). I appreciate your list of other helpful classes, I'm currently taking one by Sarah Edwards called Defeat Procrastination: Design Your Own Personalized Creative Workflow and I am REALLY enjoying it! I really struggle with art every single day and while I could make a million excuses, I need to just...do it. Even 5 minutes is better than zero minutes if I want to get better!

    Thankyou so much for all of your hard work, creating and content creation. You have inspired me to get back into trying again! I failed in the business side of trying to start my own illustration freelance business. I really wish your ducky wizard plushie was funded! Did you end up getting it made somewhere else? it has been 10 years since I finished my study and I feel soooo far behind and need to practice my skills again. It is definitely rewarding when you have an audience and people that are supporting you and your passion.

      Please don't give up! Especially if you're younger because you will improve with time. Art is a lifelong dedication and learning process. It is likely that you will find your style, genre, and tribe in due time. Creatives don't just stop being that! Art calls to you and it's something that will likely never let you go. You will have regrets if you at least don't try and give it your best efforts. Much luck to you!
