I’m an aspiring artist, do you have any free advice for me?

Take a business class. Never stop creating. Keep practicing, enroll in technique classes or educate yourself. Support other artists. Show your finest, completed, and most cohesive works. Find your own voice, and tell your unique story. Always strive to better yourself, not simply as an artist, but as a person. People don’t just respond to your art, they respond to the person you are. Be the best you, and your art will show it.
