Finding your tribe, the people who deeply love your artwork and truly get what you’re doing, is one of the most fulfilling and joyous aspects of being a creator. Fan art is a clever and efficient way to do it, because it gives you access to a ready-made community of like-minded people. And, if you’re lucky, it can result in work opportunities, or sometimes even the chance to make art in an official capacity.
“Creating fan art connects people who enjoy the same things, and it helps me reach people who wouldn’t normally see my artwork,” says Lara Georgia Carson, a senior designer at the production and animation studio WildBrain.
