    “Post every day”
    Me *spends almost 30 hours on a painting*: rip :’)

    • @JennyXia
      @JennyXia  Před 4 lety +206

      Darn I forgot to mention that yes, it was possible for me to post every day because the paintings I've been doing are small and generally take between 45min - 3 hours (I'd say usually 1.5 hours) to complete. I've seen some artists post progress pictures if they take longer to paint something, but the early process pictures probably won't perform as well.

      Bonus, if you have a fulltime job and work 5-6 days a week :P And a family. And a dog. And... (you get the idea lol). I am at a point, where I am just happy to finish a drawing and then actually post it... eventually ^^

    it’s hard for me to post everyday when i don’t have drawings that are good enough to post everyday.. i struggle with that. i also have an issue with deleting posts that are a bit older, and/or that i no longer like

    • @madamruby8562
      @madamruby8562 Před 3 lety +6

      If your still struggling, try and upload at least once every 1-2 weeks I’m working on an attack on Titan pencil drawing and I’ve been working on it for like 4 days, it’s okay not to upload everyday you can still grow by posting really good drawings every 2 weeks

    • @mmmmmm-bv8jg

    I feel like part of the reason you're doing well in terms of growing your account details is simply your talent. Yes, I believe all the things you mentioned matter too but if your work was 'pants' I imagine it wouldn't have grown in the same way. You have awesome talent and dedication. I wish you success with all your endeavours.

      There are gifted people that’s been painting sence a baby like me sence the 90s that taught them selfs to do paint and do art that young. There are people that’s born with a disability too like me that people just ignore just to be mean telling us we not a artist or self taught artist because they don’t like his my art is very special and unique because we never went to art class , school ,and college which most of us don’t believe in school and learning by ungifted / non creative ignorant jealous teachers and had a reason why we don’t go to college which I don’t believe in going to cruel people to teach me which I don’t need sence I was a baby and had reason why I don’t go to college too that struggles academically. A lot of cruel people out their and there are people that learn things by other and some just go to college to to attack people like me . They want to make us feel bad about our selfs or what we born with .All I wanted is to get recognition and tell my story even through my art and what I see and hear and how angry or happy and what is SCARRY going on with the world like the climate change we having that we might go back to dinosaur world or something worse sence I just express how I feel , feel creative , and imagine . I’m still struggling to get recognition on all my social medias .I get are scammers and some scammers are nft collectors. Their not just only talented people out their , their are self taught gifted and gifted self taught disabled artist as well and we just want to be heard .
      Being self taught artist or disabled self taught artist in the cruel evil judgement world is not easy .

    Oh no i dread hearing the part about having a consistent feed 😂 I get bored doing the same thing repeatedly for so long .. as in i literally just jumped from realistic gouache landscapes and now im doing anime-ish watercolor illustrations HAHA
    i've also recently started trying to film process vids which I notice do get a higher reach than everything else! tho my first one outdid all the following vids. Thank you for being so transparent here, Jenny! Loooove your work 😊💖

    • @Ami-333

  • @nanometers5859
    @nanometers5859 Před 3 lety +2

    I am trying to post more, but I just couldn't post daily, it takes me a lot of time till I am satisfied with a sketch, or a theme. So I kinda adore, that you kept it up.

  • @ThiagoMarquesArt
    @ThiagoMarquesArt Před 3 lety +3

    Thank you for sharing! This actually makes a lot of sense. From your tips I realized I’m not posting regularly and when I post I tend to expose all about a particular Art on the same post. I start posting the WIP on stories, and divide the final process into 4 parts: the finished art as a single image, a 30 second time lapse video as a second post, a step by step process latter on and a longer time lapse on IGTV. I’ll also try to stick to a same format so it gets more predictable. That, allied with constant drawing should do the trick, I guess.
    Once again, thank you for sharing!

I've had to pause posting on Instagram which is frustrating. My style and art is also all over the place which is definitely not helping XD. I'm wondering if maybe I should stop posting on Instagram until I feel like I have a consistent style haha... Social media is so hard, but I'm really inspired by your work to keep trying!

    Hey! Do you ever plan on becoming an artist full time? I ask that because I'm a nursing student and I've always loved art but only recently began to take it seriously and honestly am in love with the idea of becoming an artist for living. Since you're an engineering student, it resonated with my experience of majoring in something not really art related for the work fields it usually has. I wonder a lot about that, and would like some input from your view on this! Thank you a lot.

    I draw and paint many things. So I can't really post one consistent style. But I love what I do. I have a painting style a style that I draw characters in and I even do hyperrealism. Is it a bad thing? I really feel like I can't grow my account and I am stuck at 405 followers. I LOVE my art, and I am not insecure about it, I get beautiful comments. But I'm not getting any reach. I used to get nearly 200 likes now I only get 40. I am not shadowbanned.
    I know likes aren't everything but it honestly feels like screaming into a void.

    I honestly tried every way possible to grow my account but nothing is working for me this is really making me feel unmotivated to continue

    I think it really helps if you’re an attractive young woman...
    you’re clearly talented and a nice person but your looks are sure more compelling than my own.
    Fair play to you.

    Thanks for sharing the tips. Could you recommend a place on line I can go to get a photo of a location by clicking on the map? You have mentioned a website before but I don't remember where to find your original recommendation.
