I’m starting a podcast!

It’s something that I recently got an idea for but it’s honestly been the only thing I’ve been thinking about since then. I’ve actually already made a discord server which you are free to join here (please join we’re super cool).

I got the idea from listening to other podcasts while at work, and I realized that even after sifting through the hundreds of podcasts that are out there, I wasn’t finding what I was specifically looking for. And that’s when I realized there was a gap that I could fill. 

Sowhat is this gonna be about you ask? “How to Art??” will host many thoughts and ideas, but there are three main things I aim to center this podcast around:

1) My experience as an artist in multiple fandoms and what I’ve learned. I’ll also host other fan creators on the podcast to get their insight, tips-and-tricks, and their hot takes on what it’s like being a fan creator. 

 2) Host a plethora of folks to talk about all things “Fandom”, from the basics down to the nitty gritty. We’ll dive into our favorite ships and the NOTPs, take a closer look at our favorite animes and shows and go over the infamous question, “Should I list my 100,000 word fanfiction on my resume?” There’s all sorts of topics I want to talk about and all sorts of people I want to talk about them with, which leads me to the third goal:

 3) Answer questions from listeners on the show as well as host listeners on the show. The goal here is to go through as many questions as we can in each episode so that we can get as many people heard as possible. And to get as many people ON the show to talk about a wide variety of specific topics that will interest all of us.

If you’re interested in being a guest on the show, just reach out to me either on here or on discord! You don’t need a certain amount of followers or internet fame to be hosted on. Just give me an interesting topic and advocate yourself as to why you believe you should be the one to talk about it, and you’ll be on!

I really believe that this podcast can be something unique and special, and I think it can be a powerful source of information for young artists, writers, creators or just fans in general!

Soget the word out there, talk it up with your friends and share thiswith them, and then come join us on discord!

Once again, I have turned one of @incorrect-bkdk-quotes’s posts into a comic. Honestly these text posts are what’s keeping me going as an artist, currently. Thank you for making me laugh hard enough to draw out a full comic ❤️

I’m hosting a DTIYS contest on my Instagram to celebrate reaching 11k! You’re more than welcome to join on tumblr, but I recommend submitting your work on Instagram so it’s easier for me to find. Here are the rules:

• Like this post and follow me if you’re not already (please lol)
• Draw this in your style but feel free to add your own twist on it if you’d like
  
• You can draw whatever part is easiest for you, so you can draw the full body, or just waist up, or even shoulders up, whatever strikes your fancy
• Use the hashtag #leafydraws11k and tag me, otherwise I won’t see it :(

The deadline is September 1st, so there’s still plenty of time to join! I’ll be posting my favs on my Instagram story and for my top favorite I’ll be drawing them a fanart of a character of their choosing Good luck and have fun!
