Ep.109: There will always be someone who loves your art with Lemia Crescent

Hey, guys! In this episode, I am chatting with Lemia Crescent, a self-taught artist and video games appreciator. She has a very popular YouTube and Twitch channel where she shares a video game, movie and anime speedpaints, art supply reviews, and tutorials.

Get in touch with Lemia

Key Takeaways

“You just gotta do it and put yourself out there. There will always be somebody who will love your art and you just have to help them find you!”

  • Lemia started her YouTube channel making videos about art with the Crayola crayons. They became very popular because not everybody was doing similar videos
  • Lemia talks about how Twitch works. The viewers subscribe to you, it works like a magazine. They have to pay to watch you and you as a creator get a % cut. Depending on how many viewers you gut it ranges from 25 – 70%
  • Lemia talks about a long way to gain her subscribers on YouTube. You have to keep producing content constantly and climb up to it. Commitment and consistency count!

Special thanks to Lemia for joining me today. See you next time!
