Your art can’t change the world if no one sees it. Today we’re exploring ways to build an engaged audience around your art.
If you’re one of those people who make art as a hobby and are happy with the two hundred followers on Instagram who comment the fire emoji under your new posts in the hope you’re going to do the same for them, bless your soul. I love your pure heart and dedication to your craft.
But what if I told you that it is not only possible but completely doable to make art for your personal pleasure and still have a passionate, cheering community to help motivate you when you’re not feeling as creative?

So in this video you talk about treating the viewers and followers like people, and then this is what you decide to pin at the top of the comments section? Hmmm, I wonder if that means this comment will be removed?
You know that feeling when you spent long hours on drawing and posted it online but literally nobody actually interact? Tried again, and again with consistency but the count is lower and lower to the point that it seems like you're showing to nobody? Yeah, that's what I felt and after commissions were done I'm off the acc after more than a year. To my surprise, all of the comissions that I had done were actually loved and displayed since the day it was done until now. Unfortunately, I don't have the energy to get back on the acc even though I tried so hard to draw again. It feels like it will be unseen again by the crowd but once again I'd like to give it a shot.
@@timturuev1474 Oh man, sorry bout the link because the only platform that I posted is on insta but the acc is currently disabled. What I can describe is I'm on intermediate level, able to realistically colour the drawing (digital) but I'm still not that 'good' with anatomy. I usually draw characters and concept arts. Man that's really tough to hear, instagram can be really hard to get noticed even though we tried our best. My followings aren't that much of a wow factor either, less than a hundred for a couple of months. Just like you, none of my followers really saw what I had done and it's very frusrating when you tryna grow in this industry yknow. I think I did everything that they had told but I was on the same par so that was why I dropped it for quite some time. Hopefully we could grow our account someday :)

Dude u should have posted your @ on this comment and a whole bunch of people probably woulda clicked it and you'd get even more love n followers
lol i can completely relate to this, the way i get rid of that feeling is to just post my art, not for others, but coz I am proud of the artwork and coz i had fun doing it :-) numbers can ruin people in a weird but understandable way. Just dont give up, thats the main point
hi you, nevermind that try again an over again till it works
I don't often comment, but sometimes I just wanna say what I'm thinking to people who I know can relate to. I feel like I'm not consistent mainly because my art medium isn't focused enough, it seems like people don't wanna see 2D art from a 3D artist, and vice versa. this also goes for traditional and digital art. it's like you must pick one, and I know for a professional career, you mostly will, but it's hard to keep that up online too. being consistent and wanting to create other artwork outside of your normal art like 2d is tough with a small audience. anyways, this video gives me the motivation to give trying, so thank you for it!
I have the same issue as you, every time I try to learn another medium(like painting this week) I always feel this wave of guilt hit me. I think its very important as a creative to have a medium that is just for YOU - that you don't share with anyone online, you don't stress about over getting not enough likes or follows, just find a medium that belongs to you and you alone, and create some art for yourself.
That's a very valid concern, especially in the online world with limited attention spans. I have struggled with this myself and one solution seems to be to put out the concept of your art, not the medium. If you can get your admirers into your story, and we build the messaging around that, they'll definitely be more open to changes in medium, style, genre, and your own evolution as an artist.
I think you need to keep post and see which get more likes and make more content like that and so on most of the artists I see on the instagram are make only one kind of art content for their followers.
I appreciate how this is definitely angled at visual artists, but it’s applicable towards content creators in general! I can easily see these tips and techniques be applied to video essayists, streamers, writers, editors, etc.
The strength of your advice is it leaves the door wide open for others outside the visual art path, and I appreciate it even if it wasn’t your intent!
Great tips, thanks for posting ^^
I actually lost my passion for drawing when I showed some of my art to a friend and she said they were bad and simple, so I gave up at drawing...
But yeah, everyone has a different mindset, so it's worth to try and post what u do ^^
Thanks for another inspiring video 💙
if you enjoy it keep going, you'll only get better
That ain't a friend then
This really help alot i uesed to be really scared of People not like the drawing i do 😊💛
200 followers, The fire emoji under your post, and back to em...
You SUMMARISED my whole Art life at the INTRO!!!! 😭
Thanks you so much for covering these topics with your perspective. You have help fill a huge gap I had in my 3d art journey. I'm no longer really uncertain or have much anxiety about what i should be doing in this area. 🙏💯
I have been on this side for months and I believe this video might help me achieve the art goals I have in mind
Thank you so much for these tips! While other comments down below did point out that some of these points are vague (note, this is an early comment so those comments may get drowned out soon), they are still in my opinion essential. I've been having kind of mixed results starting my following on Tik Tok for a few weeks now and it always felt like I was missing some kind of crucial ingredient to get my followers more engaged and make my content fun. Now, thanks to your video, I can say that I've been overthinking it this whole time! Thank you so much for these tips man, seriously, I now know exactly what kind of direction I should go and the general strategies I should use to make this process much less frustrating. You've earned a new sub!
I needed this, I have been feeling very low and just needed a bit of motivation. Thank you
with all things in life the secret is balance & you are the judge of your own time "
that just hit me hard thank you so much, love your work.
the thing is about the "joining other artists communities" is that I feel it's not organic growth. I feel kinda weird when a follower follows me because another artist said to and never returns to say hi when I post anything new. They can like me all they want in that other artists community but wont come over to my side to support me. I feel I am stealing other artists viewers, supporters when I do that. My top tip and I'm working on doing this myself is to build your own audience. It will be tougher work but at least you wont feel like your stealing anothers audience.
Another must watch video. I personally struggle a lot with the critiques and comments about my art, making a huge stalemate on my artist development. But with this advice, probably I will try to do a twist on my works, and use the community that supports me to keep going forward. Like always, thanks for the amazing video, and have an outstanding week!
Glad you enjoyed it Felix! Most people who critique your work are genuinely interested in helping you, so it can be a great way to quickly improve your art
This is gold! Thank you!
Thanks a lot for all the info and insights!! Have been following you since two months i you do amazing content❤❤
This is an incredible video. I have been struggling so hard with my educational website and social media business, but I am going to apply the logic you shared here to see if I can start building a real following. *Thank you for making this video! 😊🙌*
Ur insight is the light I needed. Thank u
Your videos have been super helpful and encouraging! I recently signed up for the 3D colouring book, I'm already enrolled in a course for 3D art for games (4th year in total), but the art book has been a huge help already!
So glad to hear that the book is actually helping people! Theres always that small thought in the back of your mind where you think no ones going to like it. I've been super busy, but I've got another addition to the coloring book planned soon!
@@StylizedStation self-doubt is a curse for sure. But please be rest-assured that it is of great help. I've only just scratched the surface and can't wait to dive into it more.
Edit: I should also add that my lecturers have recommended you to other students. I know I'm not the only one who has bought the 3D colouring book in my class.
:O thats so cool to hear!
Great stuff as always!
Your videos are so helpful!💜
Yo Thomas. Uhuh ... this is amazing work ✨
This really helps me ! And I would like to THANK YOUU ❤️ I mean I am a beginner still but thank you for this video like really keep it up ✨✨
Bro, even though this was a year ago when you uploaded this beautiful, pro-way video. Thank you for keeping my focus on my creative journey when the world today is somewhat, in chaos. Thank you.
I hope to see you in the future. Kind regards, Jo A.💗
Thank you for the advice. I like meeting new people with similar interests on social media and I'm constantly looking for amazing artists to follow, especially when their work is painfully underrated. But it's still painful to see how some people I've met were super friendly and supportive when their accounts were small, then the moment they see themselves with a 2,000+ followers count, they start ignoring and coldly distancing from everyone like "oh I don't need you anymore, I'm on another level" and don't even say "thank you" when you try to support and share their work anymore, when before they were the most attentive and nice. (Talking about instagram)
I don't know much about Social Media but this video teaching me alot . Thank you for this video ,
Great video! Wish me luck friendos!
Hi Thomas, great video as usual !
Could you please share the link for Oner Barel's art piece at 5:45 ? I can't find anything on Art Station or Google.
Thanks in advance 😀
👍👍👍👍👍
Love this!
Wonderful tips 😄😃😄😃😄😃
I wish you put links to those you mentioned here. 😶
Thanks👍💞
This is actually overwhelming and alot to think through... I just wanna share my art and ideas and hope to make money but never thought I had to do so much before, during, and after gaining an audience. My social anxiety doesn't make it any better cause I don't want to reveal much of myself due to how self critical I am 😅
I think after watching this I'm realizing I focus too much on the art and not enough on the people around me. I used to be good at being an extrovert it WAS my personality now after my Navy days it's hard to get that back.
I love draw ... even no one like my art when i post but still keep upload 😁
Why Didn't i see this channel earlier :3 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Well i'm early today xD
Epic
Hi :D I am Igor from Serbia :D You are very inspiring and because of you I am gonna start making tutorials like I have planned to do for a long time :D One question though... I want to make tutorials on my mother language and a local language that I also speak fluently... maybe even English, but the 2 for sure, they are Serbian and Hungarian, the target audience is people from the Balkans and from Hungary... What do you think, should I make the tutorials on the same channel and mark them that this one is Serbian and this one is Hungarian or should I make 2 separate channels? So I plan to have the same tutorial in 2 maybe 3 languages... Your taught please...??? :D
P.S. The reason I want to do this is that not all people who want to learn the 3D that stuff I can teach, speak English very well, so this would make it a lot easier for them to learn new stuff...
Why don’t you post links to the people and products you mention in your video descriptions? Would be useful for viewers like myself but I’m also curious if there’s a reason not to from a CZcams channel’s perspective? I’ve been inspired to launch my own CZcams tutorial channel after following your videos this year, Cheers!
This is hands down the best video I've ever watched on Social Media. I always saw it as more of a chore (introvert), but this changed my mind. Thanks for making it :)
Got a good video coming out soon about being an introverted artist :)

i draw short comic use my oc based on memes reference, after i notice i got lot new follower on fb i just keep doing it, my fanart art is not really good then comic memes.
Hey Thomas I hope you are doing ok
This quickly turned into overly broad and generic advice. Examples given are also very narrow. Gotta feed that algorithm I suppose.
I feel the same. And this odd random video clips. I bet nobody gave him actually permission for their art
Yeah, that's this channel's big problem, he uses these clickbait thumbnails to get your attention and then just hits you with broad generic advice. I think it's all just a marketing system for his courses.
@@peacemaster8117 ofcourse it is, I also recognized that most people making videos for him are students by themsef, but make it sound like their in the industry for a while
yeah, it bothers me, i keep clicking his videos by accident, cause i dont check if its him, but it feels very ungenuine, he has used this exact same title multiple times now
❤️

"HEARS MUSIC" OH nice CG Matter, wait a minuet..
No, I don't have 200 followers on Instagram
I have 20
it’s so fucking ridiculous that all of the social media are pushing AI art not the real art that people been creating and posting on these platforms throughout the years.
I know a lot of artists who are really amazing but don’t get any interaction on social media which is really sad to see whereas these AI artists are getting millions of likes and thousands of followers.
People needs to change tactics have to create the content which the sites promote more like shorts and reels make it flashy and use trending music.
I just started posting on instagram and it’s really not the good place for the beginners you need to stand out from the rest and also make amazing art

social justice warrior cracked me up XD
Kurgzart(I will never be able to pronounce this) duck !!!!
Just want to say I am th5 comment so ya have a good luck at this
Robert Johnson style 😂😂😂
Well, I love the artist wlop, but I dont know who he is....
About networking: what if I hate artists? Do I have to pretend I like their presence and just lie? I can't stand 5 minutes inside a discussion with artists, it's worse than being in a gulag.
These are great but only work if you already have an audience:/
I cannot be the only one for whom it is as if all the art channels I'm subscribed to have been spying on me and are telling me to stop slacking and return to work....right?
I litteraly got a fucking ad for buying followers, thanks youtube
I'm watching this and im not even an artist.
Well, I guess art is just not my thing then.
I disagree, with just about everything on this.
It's the same stuff as people that act "humble" because it's seen as being genuine.
I disagree with the premise. I look at art to enjoy it, not to get preached at. I dont care what the artists opinions are. Building exclusive "Like minded" communities is exactly how we devolve into Tribalism.
Q: "How to Build a Huge Following Around your Art"
Stylized Studio tip: Use Social Media
...
...
oh my god this is probably one of the worst and most lazy video I have watched about "how to gain a following"
And he doesnt even have that much followers
Which is funny because his own art/artstation has little traction, and his Stylized Station brand is built using so many other people their work. To then sell "his course" which he didn't make but commissioned so it's not an actual display of his skills.
hey man id like your videos alot more if you didnt make such clickbaity titles. Or if you do say “500 followers” just make sure you add an action plan in the video to reach that specific goal.
