🎆2020 Recap, 2021 Resolutions and Goals🎆- Vlog

Hey there Artnerds! Welcome to 2021! May this year be better, and kinder, than the last. Today I wanted to talk to you about 2020, how my goals shifted after Covid, and my goals for 2021. I also want to talk about some of the things I've tried here on the channel and their results- the good, the bad, and the ugly. I've shared my resolutions with yall in the past, and this year is no different, but I also touch on some of the issues I've had with burnout, and my upcoming hiatus. I'll talk about the hiatus in a standalone vlog as well, once I've thought about things a bit more. If you're interested in a walkthrough tutorial for the processes used in this video, let me know.
