The Sketchy Van Podcast

Does Fan Art Actually Get You Hired? (TB Choi Explains)

Ultimate Sketching Course 20% presale ! https://www.proko.com/s/rMQf?af=706140

In this episode, I sit down with TB Choi, character concept artist and illustrator, to talk about why fan art is not a waste of time, and how most of her professional opportunities actually came from personal work she made purely for herself. We get into why she believes artists should create first and find their audience later, how overthinking career logic can kill creativity, and what it really means to build a sustainable art life without burning out. We also get into imposter syndrome, social media comparison, why goals matter more than motivation, and how to balance fundamentals with personal obsession.
