Being an introvert artist can feel like being the odd one out. While all your friends like to hang out, you prefer to be in your quiet space and spend time alone creating art—that you never show anyone... Because sharing it feels like peeling back your skin. It's too personal, too emotional, and too fragile to offer it up to a world that is often too loud, too fast, and too quick to judge. In this post, I speak about what it's like to be an introvert artist—to remind you that you’re not the only one and to help others see things from your perspective.
Have you ever caught yourself thinking that art is not for you because you are the quiet type—someone who observes more than they speak, feeling like your work might get lost in the void? Introverts often wonder whether they should become artists, because their introversion seems to get in their way. However, the truth is that there's a relation between creativity and introversion. But does that mean that introverts are good at art? Read on to find out!

I used to be the same. That's why I've put together these marketing tips for introvert artists to help you take the plunge and start sharing your work in a way that feels natural and true to you.

Choosing the right keywords to speak about your art is almost as important for artists as creating the artwork itself.

The Wacom Movink delivers high-end performance and cutting-edge technology, while being one of the best portable pen displays out there.

You definitely don't want to miss out on this. In this 6-step tutorial, I show you how to grow on Pinterest as an artist!
