Favorite Piece of Advice

My advice is to explore your own art and focus on growing both as a person and as an artist. Trust your instincts—if something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t. Your art is as unique as you are, and no one can tell you exactly how to create it or what your next step should be.
