Illustrator Saurav Singh on Making Stories Instead of Content

In a recent interview with Creative Gaga, illustrator Saurav Singh expressed that the disappearance of Instagram would allow him to create more innovative art without constraints and judgment, ultimately conserving both time and energy while delving into traditional styles and themes he truly enjoys. He views the platform primarily as a display for his creations rather than a motivation for content production. Singh admits that balancing audience interaction with personal endeavors is challenging; while visibility fosters connection and opportunities, maneuvering through algorithms can be exhausting. He recommends focusing on personal passions over viral trends, as satisfaction in one's work is more enduring. His art centers on human figures and narratives, inspired by individuals' attire, body language, and unique features. He advocates for engaging with family and community for story ideas.
