Resources
As an artist, I've learned that it helps to have references, templates, and tutorials to refine my skills. This is to help me strengthen the bond between my creative brain muscles and the flick of my wrist to create the strokes that eventually make art. Through my ruts and points of not feeling like an artist, I've also found great articles and advice that have helped me remember who I am and define what I want my lifelong art journey to look like. Please take part in what I've found to be helpful and discover what works for you as a creative individual.
Might-Could Draw is an art blog written by Christine Nishiyama that holds much wisdom and art tips. She's been especially helpful with her essay section with her honesty about the struggle and realities of an artist that isn't admitted or shared very often.

Rafi and Klee are veteran studio artists (Rafi) and jewelry makers (Klee). Because of their years of experience, they have many stories and words of wisdom. They've been somewhat like art parents for me. They provide a different perspective of what the life of a smaller looks like.

Ergo Josh is an artist who I've found on YouTube who also focuses on the struggles of a modern artist. However, his focus mostly is on art techniques, product reviews, and career advice while he draws. He offers tutorials on his channel and Patreon.
