How Youtube has changed my life ✨in FOUR years✨ as a small art channel

Описание: Hello dear! This is a little bit more personal video where I share my creative art journey and what I have been up to. 26th of February 2025 marks my four year Youtube anniversary and I want to share more insight of what I have done in this serious of time, decisions I made and struggles I had to overcome. I hope this is insightful and inspiring video to watch.
Feel free to grab your favourite art supply and sketchbook - work on your own creative projects as you are listening. For extra cosiness grab yourself a cup of tea :)
I have added a secret word at the end of the video and if you spot it type it in the comments so I know you stayed till the end.

Huge thank you to everyone who asked questions for this Q&A in community tab!
