To stay on track, they create a project timeline and a shopping list for supplies that fits their budget. When they hit a creative block, they use AI-generated drawing prompts to stay inspired. Once the project is complete, they use AI to get feedback on their work, write social media captions to share it online, and find ways to organize and display it. Finally, they use AI to create an artist bio, find recommendations for local workshops to continue their growth, and even get ideas for collaborative projects, transforming from a hobbyist into a confident, productive artist.
