how do you manage social media and external influences on your art?

[Amit Dutta]

Madzia, that's kinda good to hear to be honest. I also have a suspicion that unless you are already a pro and wanting to sell products or tutorial lessons or your own artbook facebook is mostly just a time waster. I also have a feeds collater that sends me all the stuff I really value, but I haven't used it as much as well recently so that's a good reminder. And to be honest, knowing your stuff, I don't think you have hurt yourself one bit by not facing the barrage of Facebook, you are developing your own thing and that is exactly what I feel the need to do more of I think.
