Why is sharing personal content important for artists on social media?

People can’t relate to your technical art process if they’re not artists themselves. Imagine meeting someone for coffee: if they only talk about their work and never share who they are as a person—their hobbies, weekend activities, interests—you’d lose interest quickly. The same applies to social media. You need to share what makes you unique as a human being, not just as an artist. This is especially critical now that AI-generated content is everywhere and people crave authentic human connection. When you share personal content, people can find common ground, relate to you, build trust, and then connect with your art on a deeper level.
