What type of content should artists include in reels showing their creative process?

Create short video clips (1-10 seconds each) of yourself working at different stages and on different pieces. Capture yourself in motion: working on backgrounds, adding details, framing, signing pieces, or any step in your process. Film from different angles in your studio. You don’t need to show your face—you can show your back, your hands, or just your workspace. Record many brief clips over time, then when you have 20 or more, compile them into a fast-paced reel. The goal is showing you’re an active, working artist putting in time and effort, which inspires support from viewers.
