yknow cuz i know u like swimming ill use it as an example. Lets say ur an amateur swimmer, and u already wanna compete and get recognition n stuff from around the world.
people arent gonna flock to you to watch you because you simply dont have the prestige or talent required yet
If you truly want to build a large following/audience you have to cultivate something that stands out from the rest of the competition first,
aka an unique art style or just draw well
So honestly I would focus on improving my skills and practicing daily if I were you and try to find my own style
honestly my main takeaway is just do your thing man. Dont try to focus on pleasing people too much with your art and gaining a following, it can become obvious and that makes some people get the wrong idea.
if you’re still dead set on gaining fame/audience then i’d begin by making tiktoks/shorts about the drawing process, taking requests, etc. they seem to be decently good at attracting attention
It’s hard to explain… like I know I put in the work to get where I am (which is still mid as hell btw) but I also feel like I kinda shouldn’t be here? again I might not be wording this issues out very well but it’s a feeling that creeps over me sometimes
I think I should just stick with algorithm exploiting because all of these involve needing others in some capacity (which is a resource I don’t quite have)
My siblings are great artist and bro did i feel terrible not being able to draw as good as them, i felt like i was adopted or smth. i felt like shit, like a stain. But mom said that “What is art? It’s expression of what we have inside portrayed by our body.” and then i found out that im more of a physical artist. So try to explore in other fields, i mean it wont hurt ye?
I’m still a beginner artist but I’ve been using Newgrounds for several years.
If you want to get popular then just draw naked women. Works every time since Newgrounds is pretty laissez-faire about what people put out (Almost dangerously so).
I’ve noticed drawing either naked or cautiously exposed women is a pretty strong tactic to gaining a following on newgrounds… though I kinda have more dignity than to resort to that.
the denial is spreading
