This week on The Monday Check-In, we're taking an honest look at where ArtwithErrol and ArtwithErrol Gaming are headed.

The gaming numbers weren't perfect last week, but there are some important signs of progress — especially subscriber growth, retention, and learning what types of videos are connecting with the audience.

We also check in on The Annunciation: Gabriel & Mary, the painting I'm currently working on, and talk about the difference between growing a gaming channel and developing as an artist.

Plus, we're looking ahead to this week's schedule — including a change to Thursday's gaming stream.

Progress doesn't always mean bigger numbers. Sometimes it means learning, improving, and continuing to show up.

Thanks for being part of the journey.

Am I actually making progress, or am I just staying busy?

That’s the question I’m asking myself in today’s Monday Check-In.

Between growing ArtwithErrol Gaming, creating gaming news and Shorts, working on my art, streaming, dealing with the occasional technical problem, and trying to build something that can eventually become my full-time career, it’s easy to get caught up in the numbers.

Views. Subscribers. Watch time. Likes.

But sometimes you have to step back and look at the bigger picture.

In this episode, I talk about where I am right now, what the recent Marvel Tōkon content taught me, the challenge of balancing art and gaming, and why I’m trying to focus less on individual videos and more on the overall journey.

I’m still building. I’m still learning. And most importantly, I’m still moving forward.

What are YOU working toward right now?

Welcome back to The Monday Check-In! This week I'm looking back at the progress from last week and sharing what's on the schedule for the days ahead.

Some weeks don't go according to plan, and that's okay.

Last week was filled with appointments, which meant I wasn't able to spend the time I wanted painting. In today's Monday Check-In, I'm talking about balancing work, family, content creation, and learning to reset instead of getting discouraged.

This week's goal is simple: get some dedicated painting time in on Tuesday and Wednesday, then jump back into Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced with live streams on Thursday and Friday.

Thanks for being part of the journey. Whether you're creating, gaming, or working toward your own goals, I hope this encourages you to keep moving forward one step at a time.
