Whether marketing your art for sale or starting a YouTube Channel, a good camera is a must! I’ve been using this Canon M50 for a few months now and am loving it!
If hosting tutorials is in an artist’s future, good sound equipment is important. This is the microphone that I use, and I love that it connects to the edge of the desk and doesn’t take up any pouring room!
