"you need to make sure that you're grounded"
time to go swear at my mom

* has been grounded for 3 years. *
*nervous chuckle.*
You don’t wanna do that - your art will never escape your sketchbook.
LOL

I draw with pencil
Tons of months later it flew off completely
“Don’t draw fanart for stuff you don’t enjoy to get popular.”
The six fanarts trend: so anyway....
I started blasting
Eh, I ain't doin that
honestly those challenges are so great for small artists, they can get lots of recognition from it
I feel attacked??
I just choose my own characters. It works better.
When you're unpopular, every new follower is making them feel hopeful everyday that they're gonna step on a new level.
Thank you, thats the kind of pep talk i needed before posting something on my art instagram I'll try to put my tag here if you want
My goal is to reach 5 susbcribers :D
@@vaneflan ;D
V the rat OwO mine is to reach 10 lol
True . . . My six followers on wattpad just make me super happy
another tip: do some “draw this in your style” stuff!! some artists will re post the art to their story, and if they have a somewhat large following, people will see your art and if they like it they’ll even give you a follow :)
((ONLY re draw art if it’s a draw this in your style post, if it isn’t one, never do that))
I get ignored most of the times😂 I got more from just fanart
Giulia R25 haha, try doing it with semi popular acc, one without too many followings so they still have a chance to see your art and one without too little do there’s more people who will see it. like between 10-50k followers (make sure to check if there’s a deadline, and it’s better to submit it sooner than later)
Olivia I did this one day and I had like... 5-6 participants and only 3 of them actually did it so...it’s not really working (for me anyway)
Gifts for CZcamsrs and fanart contests also work just the same from I've seen lol
Actually thats a pretty good tip! Whenever I see anyone post a dtiys in their story and I like the artstyle I follow the one who drew it
so all those renaissance painters got their popularity because they painted bible fanart
Hahahahaha!!!!!!
m:el : so true hahaha
😂😂😂
New perspective w o w
Ha
What really separates popular artist from the rest is the *TIMEZONE*
This one gets it
Please explain..!
NANDU 7865 posts gain traction differently based on time posted(this is just one of the factors, of course having likable content is important too). This varies by website and applies most heavily towards Instagram and Reddit. Basically, if you post the same thing twice, changing only the time posted, you’re likely to get two different results(the one posted at a bad time may have 0 chance of blowing up, even if it’s good). Why timezone matters is that some people just happen to live in an area where peak posting times coincide with times they’d normally post anyway, while other people may have to post at 4 in the morning(in their timezone) to hit that peak time.
Oh yeah, true. I have trouble interacting with my fans because they’re mostly based in Indonesia so far and I have to stay up til six am if I want to meet them.
That‘s a really good tip. I‘ll try that on-
*Realises I don‘t even have enough followers for Instagram to calculate my target audience‘s... well, anything.*

Having a voice on the internet is not like screaming into a void. It's like screaming into a crowd that's way over the room capacity where some people are pushing and shoving; some are robots, some have megaphones, some have surround sound microphones, and some just have a new thing that megaphone/microphones take interest in.
That's a nice way to put it

Perks of being unpopular, you'll see reappearing faces very often in your posts and you can even form friendships with them. Sometimes, it feels slightly more special than being popular.
It feels like a family if that makes any sense :3
That's actually true!
On Instagram I see followers of mine repeatedly. (even if its not comments but reappearing likes)
On CZcams I also see reappearing subscribers now and then and I always reply to them, (aswel as new viewers/subscribers) and I even form a small friendship of some sort!
true!
Ever since i switched my channel content to speedpaints, the same people who usually commented still comment regularly and it feels like we're close- i talk to some of them online often and we're good friends!
Yeah lol- I have this one person who doesn’t follow me but likes all of my stuff to the point I recognize them when I get the dArt notification
The feeling when a "popular" artist will draw a simple line and gets thousands of likes and comments about "this amazing cute, adorable, perfect line" and you draw hours and hours to a realistic piece and you get about 10 likes and probably any comment.
bish, you're lucky to get 10 likes, i get 3-0

How to be popular on CZcams!
1. *Don’t.*
So true though. By the way, Akane can’t Draw, why’s your CZcams channel name lying? You draw 100 times better than me!
Edit: Nevermind. You draw 1,000,000 times better than me. My art is genuine trash, that some people like for some reason. :v
You scream and get views
No, I don't think I will.
HA i just subscribed to your channel! Take that! (Btw your art is actually really nice)
Now you are popular
Step one: Don't have ADHD
Step two: Don't change interests / hyperfixations, people hate that
Step two-part 2: DO FANART! Do whats hot now!
Step three: Draw and upload every day
Step four: Get so exhausted bending to the will of others
Step five: Feel worthless because you cant be like all the other artists
Step six: Realize you cant continue on this toxic path
Step seven: Begin with recovery of the self hate and worthlessness you formed trying to be like everyone else
Step eight: Push self validation up, accept you're not going to be able to live to the standards of others but are very grateful for the attention you do currently get
Step nine: Draw what you want and love it, love the progress you're making
Step ten: Continuously go through cycles of love / hate towards yourself and your art because recovery aint linier
This is an incredibly underrated comment omg
This really needs more likes
i love how im failing with the first step. really boosting that morale
Step 11: realize that hardly to earn money from art. Give up
This was very true for me and relatable but my problems stemmed from my high expectations for myself, i never really got jealous. But everything else was spot on
This fucks with you emotionally and psychologically. Especially when you grew up in a very toxic environment that never really gave you that much support.
I can actually relate so much with your comment and the 10 likes I get over a day is so special to me
@@sharand3016 same! Btw I'd love to see your art! What's your insta?
I know this is one year old, but out of all these comments I agree with this one 100%
One of my least favorite stuff is when people lie about how much time they took on a drawing, just to get attention, the time really does not matter! What matters is how your art it.
Exactly, sometimes, my best and most successful artwork is the one that took me the least to make
DjPsychoGirl same
Sometimes its like the opposite also, like ppl saying how quick they made it and it looks awesome
!!
I’m not sure if they lie or not but I sure appreciate them sharing how much time they took. Let’s me set realistic goals for myself
Notice me, senpai.
No.

What i noticed from instagram is that the algorithm is more biased towards fanarts lol
Just draw kpop and then 10000 likes
Probably cause Instagram has such small frames it’s really hard to see details, so people just stick to cuter, simpler things.
I do overshaded stuff and I've been seeing improvement by only coloring the subject in, and if I do end up coloring the whole thing, I just put it as the second pic

So for the fanart part. I’ve seen people draw fanart for this one show. When the artist doesn’t draw fanart, they usually have 1k likes instead of 4k likes dorm the fanart they post. When the artist stops drawing fanart, they just get less then 1k likes and they just lose followers. It’s really upsetting for the artist since not many people follow them for their art, instead, people follow for fanart and not want to follow for their original art.
Yeah I hear you... On Tumblr I've gotten a few hundred followers who probably only follow me because of fanart, my unrelated artwork hardly gets any notes. Sad story.
1k is huge, I've been posting my art for about a year or so and highest number of likes I've got is 51
I am a follower of fanarts, it is true if I see original art I better go away
@@prakharkhare223 the highest I ever gotten on Instagram I believe was 46, and now my most liked stuff is fanart :/

Important reminder: Post your art for yourself. even if you have low following and barely any engagement that does not matter, your happiness is most important. do not let low numbers discourage you from posting your artwork x3
Yeah..art is not meant to impress but to express😁❤️ Always keep a private sketchbook where u don’t show anyone.

Just post because you like to. Who sees it sees it
I like to post many things on Instagram all the time. All I post is art. I mean sometimes it’s a little discouraging when only a few see it but I just keep posting because it’s fun to do. I don’t want to plug my insta unless you guys want me to.
Hey good people, what do you think of my art? @calliflakes.
I haven't posted in months because damn i honestly just gave up trying to get noticed haha. How do you guys find motivation?
I have like 100 and something followers on my art instagram and the other day I posted a drawing of Toga from My Hero Academia and some sweet ANGEL! said 'Sis honestly you deserve more followers' and I actually cried cause that made me a bit TOO happy

This is going to sound angry but skill isn’t important anymore 🤷🏽♀️. If people identify with it even if it’s a stupid little doodle if people have an emotional connection with its going to go viral. Also the algorithm favors more popular artists for obvious reason
You are spitting absolute facts! I hate when these channels say "make sure your art is neat and good"..... HAH!! I've seen literal scribbles go viral 🤣 No, people don't care about skill anymore sadly....
This is sadly, true
Yes, I 100% agree with this! A huge thing for me was not giving up. It took me 6 years to get to where I am. Consistency is key! Thanks for posting this! 🤠
Yeah, that's where I struggle most- my art is really inconsistent.
Two legends in the same place
*_Oh my-_*
SuperRaeDizzle SuperRaeDizzle id been trying for 6 years also, but gave up recently after a bad depressive moment(I'm medicated now) and closed down my old blog. I'm regretting it now intensely, and going to restart all my hard work sometime soon. Wish me luck, Rae! i'm glad you got recognised for your work, it means I got to find your work and to be a follower of yours!
Woah! Hey Rae
Consistency means practicing all days in a row, or posting every day on social media? Thanks for the advice.
Here's the thing. Maybe I'm just selfish or whatever... but I actually LIKE my art. I want to show people my art but I feel weird saying "look at this thing I made, it looks so good" it just feels so narcissistic. But saying "omg look at this it looks so bad" is just completely not what I actually think. So what do I say..... nothing??
you could maybe just say that you worked hard on it and think you did a gud job
Yeah, I get what you’re saying, but being proud isn’t narcissistic! Show off your work, be proud in what you made!
I'm stuck in the same situation as you. I'm really good at art, (I don't have an art style, I just draw whatever pops into my head, but my "style" is anime and realism), I like to show people but I don't want to come of as narcissistic neither, Everytime I show my art, people are like, "you're SOooOo good, I always try to draw but I cant" and when they say that, it makes me feel like I'm a show off
Or you could that you want them to see your work bc you are really proud of it and you would like some feedback ;)
Edit : could say*
Well, I think you should first ask the viewer on his opinion. After that, say you think you like it, depending of course on the opinion of the viewer.
nah skills means nothing. there are people with seemingly broken hands that are popular and gods among men that are left in the dust for some reason.
and that's a SAD FACT!
That's basically the problem with art today
Lack of appealing to audiences(No tags, no consideration for thumbnails and titles), only doing what they enjoy/putting the same or more amount into things that they like but are unpopular, and others are the reasons why. Audiences need talent but the Internet needs a marketing strategy to show your work to audiences. And God forbid the platforms help, they only care about promoting what gets the most likes so that way there's a bigger chance other people will like it and spend more time on their platform looking at it, that's why luck is involved
And the fanart. I tried going on Wattpad and it wasn't until I realised fanfiction, roleplaying, and smutfics were what made me get thousands of reads did I ever hit 200 followers (There people only follow you because they need to tag you once you stop replying, but they get notified when you release a new book and I've gotten fans this way)
Not just in art my buddy, skills are so overrated these days, but popular people have something else and is not talent, I don't know what it is
Your views omg-
"How to get your art noticed..."
*Post a video about how to get your art noticed*
This is such an underrated comment
One important thing to do is to have low expectations to never be disappointed.
But your another popular art friends will see your flop post :(
But what if one of your posts blows up once and then after that the max you get is 20 likes? I mean that happened to me but it's difficult not to be disappointed from that
Omg true
@@giuliar2539 Bruh, 20 for me is blowing up.
So,
-focus on the art.
-see your page like a newcomer.
-use tags and fanart to get people to check what you do.
-respect is important.
-DO NOT beg for attention.
-No comparing yourself with other artists.
And most of all,
-Consistancy and Patience.

PeachyPaws dope colour choice on your profile picture !
Man when I was in my early high school days my art was totally freaking garbage and somehow I gained a ton of popularity- the anatomy was absolutely atrocious, the colours were all over he place, there just wasn’t much good about it at all. Once I started improving and my art was actually decent, it completely dried up and I have never been able to get that back
As a kid I used to like cringe things and I had a lot of time to support artists who drew cringe. As an adult I don't have time to even answer my friends? If you want to be popular your art should be appealing to people from 11-19 because those people have more time to appreciate your art. I hope that you get what I mean
It's kind of like the "pretty" and "ugly" people thing on social media. People will hype the "ugly" people up because they don't see them as competition. People will ignore or discourage "pretty" people because they see them as competition or they get jealous. It's not 100% the same for art, but it's pretty similar in my opinion.
also please note i put quotation marks because i dont think those labels really define anyone 🥲

When she erased that perfect arm at 00:49 and draw something weird I had to stop the video and give me a moment to calm down.
lol me too
The difference between beauty and art.
the weird arm is the art
The first arm is more anatomically correct, the second arm conveys more emotion.
*when your OCD kicks in*
Sadly on deviantart the good art gets overridden by fetish p*rn and that kind of stuff. Nobody even sees my art, but that doesn't stop me from improving I guess
Keep up the good work my fellow artists, you deserve to be noticed one day❤
That's all too often the case with the "browse newest" page. Have you tried submitting your art to groups? They're a good way to get yourself noticed, since they show your art to people who are specifically looking for the kind of content the group showcases.
Keep working hard, fellow artist!
Keitarin I actually have, I'm in one very nice group. I just feel like the others in the group are so talented and I'm not nearly as good :c. Thanks for advice though, I really apprecciate it! Have a nice day :3
ZaagaWaffl :3 I like Instagram more than deviantart because deviantart is specifically made for art but that means it’s drowning in art. I think it makes it harder for your art to get noticed because there’s just so much of it. On instagram there’s an art community and it’s not small but it’s not enormous like deviantart. I like the layout of ig as well I think you should try it out
Penguin Gelato you are right! Im on instagram too and my friends follow me too but of course someone new could be cool to have as a follower x3
I use an art Amino and that’s where I usually post art. I personally think it’s better than posting on Deviant art, instagram, etc. Your art gets noticed more easily and people might even give you some constructive criticism on how you can improve. But that’s just my opinion, thought it might be helpful since you said your art doesn’t really get noticed on Deviant Art. ^_^
Me: *draws a fan art of Joseph Joestar from JJBA and also ends up liking it* "wow! Thats really nice looking fan art, hope other people will like it too!"
*Posts the art on instagram and puts hashtags on it*
The post: *gets only 5 likes*
Me: 😐
As an artist it's even harder to earn people's respect for their art. I had a phase where I just drew "how to train your dragon" art and got over 20+ likes (I am a rather small account) 👀 and I felt confident that people like my art, so I finally got out of the phase and just started of doing my own personal art and just got like 10+ likes. I am still doing fanart sometimes, but people don’t comment, or don’t give it any attention for what I did. I know it's not that important to get the likes or earn followers, but I would love if somebody would just criticize my art in an informative way so I can improve easier...
~Doing art is hard~
Actually, the fan art one. Your right! Jaiden animations done fan art for ihascupcake they noticed her and asked jaiden to make animation for their videos! And that’s when jaiden started!

To be clear however this will only work out for a small number of people, not a guarantee for anything.
YAY!! JAIDEN ANIMATOIN FAN!!! I’m a fan too..!
Ye jaiden
Katzun love my meme fanart lel
I think people misunderstand the fanart thing.
I generally don't do any type of fanart, I'm making my own comic so thats what I draw. My art isnt doing very well at the moment so I was told to do fanart.
Here's the thing.
A year ago I was drawing manga only, I managed to get a couple thousand ppls attention with it, then I changed my artstyle completely, the views and subs are down now.
Heres what you should do, draw a little bit of fanart here and there, for example, when you watch batman and feel like drawing batman then draw batman.
But you shouldn't only just draw batman and then one day start drawing original stuff. You should have 9/10 original posts and 1/10 fanart. That way people can still get drawn in and relate to your love for supernatural, but they will still stay, if they do stay, for ALL the art because it wouldnt be worth it just for that one supernatural drawing. ;)
I feel like this should be obvious. You don't want people to think you're a fan art page/channel/artist when you're trying to focus on your original art. It'd be like a business that blew all it's resources on ads without developing a good product.
Sometimes i get into a creators original stuff because i liked their fanart.
This is what I'm trying to do at the moment. This is great advice.
Madlyn Ziemer me personally, I'm autistic, so I obsess over certain things intensely for long whiles. So, for months I'll be drawing fanart and have no interest in Ocs, then for months I'll obsess over my OCs and draw them for months. I never say I'm a fanart blog or an oc blog, just that I draw whatever I feel like drawing. If I wanna draw five fanarts and two Ocs or no fanart and 20 Ocs, it's just what I do. I mean my art is good, I know it is(I'm not being narcissistic, I just don't put myself and my art down anymore and all that jazz)...but obviously the fanart always does way better. I've kinda accepted it right now that my followers are split with some liking only my fanart and some liking only my oc art and a very rare few who love all of it :/
Can I just say your art style is awesome
(( Edit ))
You have a channel

I am unfortunately guilty of wanting to be popular like this. Ever since I was a kid, I dreamt of being popular. I was quiet, but well liked by a fair amount of people. But I was very visually imaginative, and had many fantasies. I daydreamed often, and I used those to fuel my drawings.
But I don’t know what it is that has happened to me in my childhood. Because, I realize that every time I see popular artists on Instagram, i just feel a little hurt. I had never cared to that extent before, but I realize it’s been coming out in the past several years.
Everyone keeps saying that to try to be more unique. I try to be creative, to be more unique. But it’s actually harder than it is. I feel like I don’t know where to start, or where to get ideas. Because everyone had already done them. I’m just sick of being a nobody for so long. When can I be like that?”
Of course in reality, it’s also a competition. But thing is, I don’t want to become greedy and competitive. I just want to earn attention in the most honest ways possible.
I know that it’s unhealthy to think like this. As a Adult woman, I’m still trying to work on this to not feel this way. But sometimes whenever I look at popular CZcamsrs and Artists, it’s hard to not think
“Wow...they have so much fun. They got everything together in their lives, and everyone loves them. I wish I could be like them. Fans even draw free fanart for them.”
And for the friends of those popular CZcamsrs/artists, it’s like a little group where they draw their friends free requests.
I apologize for the long rant. But I wanted to vent this out, because I don’t know who to vent to. Forgive me if I come across as Jealous or ‘Salty’. I truly don’t mean that. Some times, it’s just hard.
This 🥺❤ I feel the same way sometimes.
This is really late, but in no way are you a nobody because your not popular for one your a somebody. And a few little tips that I have had a theory on. Is that most of the time content creaters that make similar content as an already really popular content creater did, does not get the same amount of attention the original content creator created. Because although they both seem the same and look the same they are not one has given it more of themselves from what they enjoy not really the care of being similar to others but just involving there self giving it some of there own personality and opinions. And from what I see many of your seemingly popular CZcamsrs are like this they make things they enjoy rather than what they don't like you give it more of your time. I would honestly say a tip of advice to you is to just Go with your gut and create what you like, keep in mind it can be similar to someone else's but not copied and it has to be something that's somewhat unique or has very good meaning to you ❤
@@user-wz6pi2jj4c Hey, really thank you for this, and whoever else gave me support in this thread.
During when I made this comment, I was in a very mentally confusing place. I don’t want to go on too much, but Home/ family life was starting to change. And I guess I was just wishing to be noticed, because it seemed to be the only way I can get validation of my ‘talents’. In short, I’ve felt like I was always behind everyone, and tried to seek attention and validation. It’s also at that time, I was trying to post on Instagram every 2-3 days, and never realized how exhausting that was.
Right now I’m going through some things and struggles. But Art has always been the stress reliever and passion in my life. So I found a new fandom last year, changed things up a bit. Mixing up and experiment in different art styles to be more fun! I also started taking breaks in between art posts, so I feel like I can rest these days. Tried to not look at the follower count of others around me, even though it’s tempting from time to time.
Still trying to fight a part of the algorithm and hoping I can find “my calling” through starting art commissions for the first time. But I’m feeling a bit better and having fun with what I do now. One step at a time.
Thank you again. I hope you have a good day!
Fanart for SMALL FANDOMS
Yes
Emily Steilsson or fandoms that are dead that some people still like!
I draw for small fandoms and i get likes because people in smol fandoms is ,,family" :3
I often do fanart for Danganronpa and Charlotte, but the fandom is kinda dead so not many people see it soo..
Undertale maybe? Or is that embarrassing..
"Everyone and their mom has an instagram"
This couldn't be truer.
In fact, I don't have an Insta, but my mom does. It never really seemed that interesting whenever I was scrolling through her phone (she allows me to do that, as my mom trusts me).
my mom doesn't have insta..
Oh, wouldn’t you like to know!
I don't have instagram :D
I don’t have insta rip
How to get famous when you live in the middle of nowhere: post your art Considering where most people live on CZcams, Instagram, Twitter etc etc
Which Basically means posts your art at midnight onwards
I have a fan account since July 2019 and I realized how hard is growing up and get followers but I still do it because I love run it, and it helped me to see how to get your own style, being creative and still doing it because you love it and not because of your followers number, my account was even deleted in December and I had to start again but I kept the same quality and constancy of posting, so, if you really like it you'll get it at anytime, now I'm getting 100 followers everyday (that's a lot considering I only have 3k) but for a long time i had like, 3 or 4 everyday but I didn't mind it
My version:
#1 Have an enjoyable personality
#2 Post art as much as possible to make opportunities to be seen
#3 Draw things you like and not care about popularity
Popularity isn't a formula.
It just comes to you due to people enjoying your content and sharing it with their friends.
Tell that to all the businesses that exist entirely because they consistently make things popular.
#1 Be yourself. You don't have to get most people to like you, you can get a few people to love you and you'll be solid.
#2 You have finite time to produce work. Grinding away won't matter if nobody sees it. Spend time to try to maximize the visibility of your work to get the most out of your time.
#3 Know what you want, and do what is requires to get there. You don't have to compromise your values, but if you want to get successful, just doing whatever you want isn't a very sound strategy for most.
@@seigeengine Say *that* to Cat Blanket or Marlow
Apparatus My friend has more subs than I do and it weighs me down. To me, yes, it’s not about popularity but about how much you are appreciated. Many people (just a few, actually, it’s just more than mine) appreciate her while I have just a few. Do you know a solution to being down because you’re not appreciated much?
Popularity often reflects the general taste not quality...look at the fast food chains. So you can be an awesome stakehouse or unique veggie restaurant you gonna have less recognition and revenue than the fast food chain. I would say, your audience will find you and the only thing you have to do is to improve yourself, love what you do and believe in it.
Honestly; I feel like the only thing really I haven’t done in this list is the thumbnails- I’ll start doing that from now on! But the others.... I’ve been on insta for a year now and been doing these on the regular. Let’s be honest: it’s all about how good your art is and LUCK. You can’t grow if your fan art isn’t good enough for people to care about :/ harsh truth coming from someone at the bottom, not the top
I've seen artists whos art isnt the best but the reason they're popular is because they make funny comics or just comics about a fandom
yeah, but comics do take talent: it needs to be a good comic to get popular
Practice my friend. Practice makes perfect.
Hell, we've even seen stick figures and shit become popular. Hell, don't even get my started on rage comics from Reddit.
It does take luck and skill, yes. Though it also does take these tips, as well as just patience and practice. Sometimes patience is all you need and it takes a few years for someone to get a noticeable audience.
Moonibly *Not talent but skill
Moonibly if you’re doing any fandom related/shipping related art I would definitely recommend tumblr, the tagging system almost guarantees someone will see your post if you have similar tags followed and similar interests, which also makes it easier to find online friends! Maybe I’m biased because that’s where is started but you’ll usually see yourself getting more notes the more you post
3:35 *Me drawing mostly fanart:* Interesting

I used to draw realism and semi realism when I was younger but would get so much hate because of proportions and shit like that.
It’s been 3 years and haven’t tried since ;-;
That’s why any cartoony style is so good because no one can tell you that you got something wrong, because it’s your style.
Do what you want. If anyone says something. You. Block. Its the damn INTERNET
Selaphiel V.
FUCK
YES
@@TheVamxie Well, that can quickly become a toxic mindset. Let me explain;
If you block /everyone/ who gives any critique to you, constructive or not, and you yourself aren't trying to improve your art, then you're going to stagnate, and /hard./ this potentially means being stuck with an unappealing style, being able to only do 2-3 poses, not being able to draw certain things, and whatnot.
critique is necessary for brilliance. what you should be encouraging OP to do is to not let that critique go to heart, and to not let that critique destroy their self-confidence.
@@ponponpatapon9670 I think that they thought that you would just be hated on and no one gave you criticism. Yes, constructive criticism is very helpful if you want to improve, but if you write hate it kinda makes it sound as though they just rudely point out mistakes and never tell you how to improve.
I'm sorry if i sounded rude, I just wanted to point this out.
PON PON PATA PON Except sometimes people _are_ just assholes and blocking them is the best choice, which they did
Really well put together video, lots of good advice! Thanks for sharing :)

you are DEFINITELY speaking the truth lmao. really sucks for someone like me who currently has a ,, Really strange art style thats really different and doesnt entirely match whats common or trending.
Sad, but true.
True, and it's not a bad thing. If it pays the bills, that works. Others can surpass that with skill
@@kurtistrent8754 if you're concerned more about style than fundamentals, you're doing it wrong

I really love her bc she's so genuine and good.
when I used to post my artwork on amino, every single like felt/feels sosososo special to me, and I completely freaked out when I got featured.
I usually just stop uploading my art on Deviantart or Facebook and shutdown. Sometimes I go weeks without drawing; This video helps, a lot and I do believe that this will help others. Anyways, have a good day, I love your content.
Omg 8 hours ago? From the future?
I want to see your art 💕
something isn't right here...Can you time travel?
BOW TO ME MORTALS! I AM FROM THE FUTURE!!!!!!!!
BEWARE THE RETURNED FROM THE FUTURE ARTSY MOOSE
I use a site called PaigeeWorld, which is a smaller, more kid-friendly version of DeviantArt. About everyone gets noticed, since there's an actual whole section for the new artists to post their first drawing, so they get noticed. They're also a welcome team that helps a LOT ^^ (oh holy shizzle 411 likes wOW)
Kamiko Akuma Oh god thank you!I will make sure to check it out!
Cakey Cat
Yeah, it's a small community but they're really nice!
DeniceDraws ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
np -w-
Would you recommend joining? I might check it out :3
Izzy Draws and games
I do actually! ^^
That last point actually holds me back from selling my work the most, for different reasons - the idea of possibly getting popular enough to warrant having to maintain an online presence, which is practically mandatory at this point for brand building, is very unappealing to me. I just like putting things out there and lurking in the background while people check them out, like a little goblin sharing their cache of pretty rocks; I want to somehow share my art and stories (and maybe even make some money out of it) without the mortification of being known, which obviously isn't really feasible. XD
I did a speed paint it took months and i finally finished it it got like 20 views and then i saw someone who colored in a square and everyone in the comments were like- omg sooo satisfying!!
Hun-
I understand you, my speed drawings doesn't get many views either, about 30 views and no more than that, I did an animation years ago that took me 4 months to do and it didn't get that many views either. Sometimes I think we weren't born to be artists, cause we got the talent but don't get any recognition.
Call me egotistical but I have no intention of drawing fanart to gain a following. My ultimate goal as an artist is to improve as an artist and draw my own work, not walk in the shadows cast by other artists.
Panda Bear that’s a good mindset
This. I cringe every time I hear that you *have* to draw fan art to gain a following. I'd rather just keep painting and drawing illustrations from my writing projects and d&d campaigns or whatever else inspires me at the time. I don't want to drift along in anyone else's shadow/ride the coat tails of pop culture just for "clout." Never mind the fair use tangles you can get in with some companies over fan art.
When it comes to fanart I only draw what I honestly like, that way I do enjoy it from my heart.
Tbh I only draw Fanart, but its just because I love drawing it and its right now my only motivation in drawing. But you should never draw something you dont want or that doesnt inspire you so yea..
i do fanart cause i like it ... ill do it for stuff that I like when I want .. i dont think about it as egotistical its just if you like it why not do it if it also in your advantage ... ans you can improove with fanart a lot too in my opinion
I did a real drawing got 4 likes did a joke drawing get 32 likes
Is it just me or does the internet like memes and weird things more
Cathy Newbi happens all the time honestly it’s a shame putting effort and getting a couple likes and next post is just some shit doodle you quickly made and that blows up it sucks
oh gawd that explains so much i was wondering why my doodles get more likes than my paintings
No shit
This is why I'm planning on being an author (writing books) rather than someone who earns money through CZcams. My speedpaints don't get that many views. My lazy animation memes get more attention.
@@iclynnx writing is hard too. I tried
“People wanted to see stylistic consistency”
Me who always tries and draws different art styles : 👁👄👁
I actually started my account about a year ago, and a lot of these tips helped me get from 10 followers and 4 likes average to 400 followers and 80 likes average 👌
1:57 that was what I thought. I was like 13 when I started practising and practising how to make my art more and more realistic because I felt like only then it could actually be good enough for instagram. I gained followers and was happy when I got likes and ashamed of my art when it didn't get likes. The problem was that I didn't have fun creating art anymore. I had like 150 insta followers and I felt like I had to draw realistic stuff and just had to draw it well enough and then I'd gain followers. So I really lost all the fun and creativity and over time also stopped creating art. One day, I discovered your CZcams channel and other artists like Kasey Golden and realised art does not have to look realistic to be good. That discovery motivated me immensely and I started drawing again. This time, I didn't draw realistically but more cartoonish. I experimented around, got a tablet, tried to find my style and stuff. When I posted something for the first time since a couple of months I was pretty excited to show off my new art. It was the first digital art I had posted. It rarely got any likes. I kinda understood though because it wasn't good at all. I continued posting art but I kept getting less and less likes. The people who followed me had followed me for realism, not some mediocre cartoonish art. I stopped posting my art and decided that from now on I'm only going to create art for myself until I am completely happy with the way I draw. I'm doing that right now, still haven't found my style but I'm learning. Once I feel like I'm ready, I'm gonna create a new account one which I will post my own, original art. I don't think anyone read this but it felt good to write my journey down lol
Best of luck 💕💕💕
Hey, people actually read this. Hang in there, chief.
I admire you (◠‿◕)
I make art for Instagram as well, the reason my art isn’t good is because I’m just lacking motivation, and that’s because I don’t have the skill I wish I would have, and when I do have motivation, I either start drawing, and it just keeps going wrong and I give up, or I’ll start making a piece that I like, but then I’ll start rushing through it because I’m like “this is taking me forever, I’m so tired of it, but I need it ‘finished’” and it never really gets finished at all. It just looks rushed because I think I’m taking too long with my art.
The main thing that’s stopping my from making art though is anatomy- like I’ll have this epic pose in mind, and then I’ll draw it out which could take me hours, and then I’m done with it and then whatever I’m drawing looks deformed-
Hhhhh
i always get so sad bcus my art doesn't get many recognition, yknow that feeling when you tried so hard but failed anyway? yeah that's how i feel :( i really don't wanna overthink about likes, but i just can't...
binaqq aw same! I feel u omg. What's your insta??? I'll follow you♡
Definately relatable its like I posted something yesterday that took 5 hours, I even gave it more hashtags than usual and still not one favorite...
Try to appreciate what you do get. A small number may seem unimpressive, but those aren't numbers... they're people.
I mean, shit, I put in the time to write you this comment, and even this is more than most get from me.
same..
Hyseris Moon awh thanks >< my insta is @binaqq
Your use of ombre affects for shading is amazing! I'm so glad I found you. Also, what you're talking about is really relevant to me. Thank you so much for sharing.
This video was really great and wholesome! Thank you for reminding people about being kind and trying not to let other's comments get to you. It's so important! Not to mention, your art style is friggin adorable
I dont need popularity, i just want that one talented person to notice me and it's hard jdhejeid
does that mean we have to be popular so the talented one noticed us? :(
I'm sure it's the same with other artists, but I personally love seeing other people's art! Whether the artist is more or less experienced than me doesn't really matter, and I often find myself praising the younger artists for their hard work and dedication in such a brutal talent. If someone doesn't notice your art, it could be that it's simply not their preference in style. The hard thing is trying to accept that something you're proud of is ignored by someone, but there will always come a day. :) Good luck!
I know I wish someone a tiny bit popular would see mee ;-;
@@kristenrasmussen4135
I really NEED this rn, so wholesome thank ya!
my favorite artist liked 2 of pictures and dm’d me saying they love my art!!
@@actuallyhippie2088 well that's amazing :o
So helpfull! I don't want a huge "fanbase". Just a few ppl to stay around and communicate with. It does feel a bit lonely when you draw something important to your feeling, but only 1-3 ppl like them.
Tho every like means alot!
KijatoMakers so true
yeah, its kind of not worth it imho to JUST do it for yourself. To me anyways. I'm not that selfish :/ .. i wanna see my stuff inspire other people and make friends off it and stuff too, i want to do good and leave a "mark" or impression. Not just waste away worthlessly in the background and waste all this time for nothing.
do you have an art ig account ? if so, what’s your user?
Yeah, I'm only popular for fanart of rappers, mostly getting high like counts for xxxtentacion fanart. When I do other stuff, I normally get around 5 likes, compared to my most recent X drawing that got 36.
Agreed but dont be selfish with how many likes and etc tbh im fine with a small group bc i canhandle it better
You are one of my main inspirations of becoming an artist! Thank you for everything you do!
As a an unpopular tumblr artist, I just don’t care about popularity, I just want to know people that are into the same things as me.
I use ibis paint X, and I know I’m not the best, I’m a bit of a beginner artist, even tho I used ibis paint x for most of my art journey, I feel like wanting popularity is just not the best way to get popular.
It all goes slowly. Hard work is worth no matter the amount of likes, reblogs and comments.I understand that others go from something to another and entirely different thing. Hope you all understand.
thank you for this, we should be having fun, because even if you're famous, you can still be sad.
1- Git gud
2- create a Instagram only for att
3- good hashtags, not the popular ones
4- post 2 times a week
5- keep improving and posting and dont die.
Ah yes, git gud. I've spotted a hollow knight fan.
I have problems with the last step
you don't need to post often to get your art noticed
*Git gud kid!*
*run. Void Dragon is coming. RUN. SHE HAS HOLLOW KNIGHT MEMES AND IS READY TO ATTACK. I REPEAT. RUN*
I recently just quitted all of my social media to focus on my art. Because like you said. When you're not "popular" you usually take it on yourself and how you draw. Im taking it slow, but it's good to rediscover why i love drawing so much and what i want to share with my style :D
Again thank you for all of your great tips, i'll probably be going back on social medias in maybe a year. But before that i want to learn to appreciate my art and what i like about it. :)
thats what I did with art amino and devianart.
I know this comment is old but I'm doing this right now. It's been weeks since I've been on any sites besides DA but I don't mind (人*´∀｀)｡*ﾟ It's actually refreshing and I'm less stressed because I don't have to deal with a lot of people on there.
I feel like I should start doing the same. I’ve been frustrated as of late, comparing myself to other artists and how much fame they get. It’s been really messing me up. I’ve had thoughts about abandoning my Instagram account and starting fresh with a new one. Maybe I should quit for a while, focus on stuff like the comic series I’ve been wanting to make or animations ideas I’ve been holding back. And maybe one day I can come back to social media with something new and genuine to offer
@@Discodelics Just... don't go on it?
Specifically I started drawing like a years ago and till now I'm still having trouble trying to improve my skill because it's feel like I kept drawing the same thing over and over again with no details and messy lines. But then someone told me "If drawing is part of your hobby you should be proud of it" I was kinda confused but then I figured it's about "Draw what you like" so I took it to heart and draw more of what I want.
Thank you so much for sharing- I’ve never heard of any of these changes before and they make so much sense! I really appreciate you helping to make careers based in social media more accessible to more people! It’s something I aspire to and hope to one day be able to do.
People’s reaction to no one noticing your art:
1:disappointed but is reasonable
2:angry/jealous/frustrated
3:guesses luck

Getting your art and maybe youtube videos out is kind of like playing poker.
If you're playing and all you do is place all of the cards you have down because you think that if you're just lucky you'll win, you're definitely going to lose and not get discovered.
But if you've studied all the rules, techniques, and other experiences, you'll more likely win the round and get discovered more (some luck is still involved, but you'll more likely win).
Ah yes! That's an excellent metaphor for it!
I dislike this metaphor. Poker is about rules, and strategies, but it's also about deception, manipulation, and antagonistic competition.
seigeengine it still compares of how some digital artists get popular or not.
seigeengine has a point on one level, but the analogy works in that poker has a strong random component as well as a skill component, plus social factors and strategies. Also, what poker is "about" for you will depend on who you are and how you approach the table, though different activities do tend to attract different types of people. Not all competition is antagonistic. Sometimes it is constructive.
I didn't say it didn't work, I said I disliked it because of it's other implications.

Sameeee qwq
Omg yea
yes, please spread kindness. there's so much negativity around. be kind to people.
Sepia Smith right!😊
Agreed. Negativity is what personally shut me down originally - and i'm sure many young artists can relate.
Cool vid! The fan art tip sounds logical - I never thought that about it. Also, although your art isn't anything I aspire, I really like the way you draw :)
Thank you so much for the video, it help me a lot understanding a little bit more about how to approach social media. I always feel light up when I see your art!
Truuue... I've thought about this a lot but it's also kind of sad how people/audience only want to follow a page/blog that has only the artist's art... and then unfollow/get disinterested whenever the artist posts about their life or has an update it's like they hate seeing the artist is a real person and all they want is content content content. That's the only thing that's upsetting.
remainingembers Yeah it's kinda sad but for example on tumblr I can't stand when my dash is full of somebody's shitposts and it shuts out otger artists too bc it's too much and frequent.
yeah but i dont mean artists posting shitposts or silly stuff, more like one personal-ish post or smth that's not Cute Fanart that everyone flocks to. It's like anything that has more to do with the artist makes people unfollow or care less bc sometimes they dont see artists as people you know what I mean?
remainingembers I think you have the wrong idea of why people follow artists online. Most of the time, what people care about is just the art. It's rare that an artist online seems interesting enough that one would want to know about non art related topics, too. I think whether or not your audience cares about your private life is something you need to test out carefully and slowly.
People aren't unfeeling, but the internet is big, and time is sparse, and therecs a big difference between a casual follower and a huge fan.
Maybe so for very professional artists who have dedicated places for their artwork, I'm not so much talking about that than just general artists and ones who do their work for hobby more than for actual commission or for a field. Regardless of who and where, treating artists or any creator like faceless machines only there to give content of whatever they posted once is generally hurtful imo. I'm talking people unfollowing for an artist answering one single question or not posting a few days due to school, or just how it feels as an artist posting when you only get interaction from others when you post some goofy meme art, but not on anything else or anything meaningful in your life yanno.
Is that surprising? People are rarely interested in the artist's life since it is irrelevant to them. Some artists are also very obnoxious about this, such as using their pages as a soapbox for their personal (usually financial) issues. I don't think people mind the occasional non-art update, but if it becomes too frequent or preachy there is no reason to continue following said artist.
I got really really mad because other people just do tiny sketches and get 700 likes, while I did a whole shading, coloring, lineart drawing and get 3 likes. I still get 3 to 7 likes :/
I know this comment was a month ago but never give up hope. If you love art, pursue it. I understand your pain though...I get so salty when my art doesn't get noticed.
I do sketches :V 😂😂😂
Keep practicing💞
And 5 of those 7 likes are from your family
