I think the mist important thing is consistency and being able to show a good body of work. Just posting some sketches once a week isn't enough. You have to create stuff which can compete, ie colored illustrations with substance. And you have to do this fast and consistently. Then maybe sme artist who is more popular than you can repost you.

The consistency of posting quality stuff is what's hardest. Otherwise people kust won't pay attention to you. You have to really treat it like a job, not just a hobby you do once in a while.

>be decent at drawing
>make content people actually want to see
>build an audience
>some fans decide to support you (commissions, Patreon, etc.)
>profit
Unfortunately most people fail at step one.

I do post complete stuff but the consistency part is the hard part, sometimes it takes me a while to complete a piece

be a woman and show some skin

>>7896879
Yea the consistency is the hardest part for me too. However in the end it's just marjeting yourself. Marketing and networking are totally different skills than drawing. That's why bad artists often get way more attention than good artists. Luck also plays a big role. You have to be at the right place at the right time and come prepared. When you for example join a new community, there might be an artist who sees you and is ready to help you. If you are unprepared at this moment, he/she wont be able to help and the chance for new followers is gone.

>>7896885
what do you post on?

>>7896890
Just here and twitter. I don't even use tags on twitter tho so it's hard to get new followers. You have to really make sure new people see your work, but I never really feel ready for that. Like I said the consitency is still bad and Im also not 100% satisfied with pictures and style, so I don't really care that much and just do what I want.

>>7896893
you get any attention from 4chan? when I share my insta, it gets nothing. Is that the same for you. I might make a twitter

>>7896895
not him, but you need an account to view instagram
the only people with an instagram account are girls, boomers and fuckboys prowling for pussy, the cross section of which with 4chan dwellers who pay for jpegs is marginal at best

>>7896900
oh.. heh :-) time to make a twitter then

>>7896895
I got the most attention when I first got here. After this people kinda know who you are and ask less for blogs. Like I said, you have to come prepared, and I wasn't really prepared.

However you also can write your socials on your pictures, of course. That probably would get some more followers but I also never do that

>>7896844
Draw some of the trending stuff like gyaru fushigidane, search for vtubers and people that are looking for commissions

You need to be good enough first, though

>>7896844
people arent going to restaurants anymore and you think they want a drawing
no offense but everyone is struggling

>>7896844
I can't offer much advice, but I will say that I didn't get commissions until I made a simple commission sheet and tweeted that I do them.

>>7897057
People who commission art are usually fairly wealthy. Poor people don’t spend money on art. Art commissions are a luxury.

>Art commissions are a luxury.
Tell that to the fags that bitch about artist charging commissions more than 30 bucks. No one is more entitled than poorfag/broke shitters.

>>7897229
Yeah but those shitters wouldn't buy from you regardless, is the classic "People outside of your target bitching"
You probably need to start cheap as you build a following and then increase rates as your size grows though, A lot of value comes from the prestige

if you want to make money without being good, you have to enter a fandom or niche.

This guy has decent advice.

I used to do freelance graphic design and I didn't need a fucking social media following to get clients. If you want to get paid, why are you giving away your work for free?

I'm switching from design to art commissions and I'm using this guys advice + what I learned from freelance graphic design work.

>>7897664
how did you get clients if you didn't use social media?

>>7897677
Freelance websites (e.g. Upwork)
Agencies
Referrals (if you deliver within a deadline you are ahead of 90%+ of freelancers and clients will recommend you)

You just need a portfolio which you can make as PDF. Watch the channel I linked, I'm sure he has several videos on this exact topic.

>>7897684
sounds very enticing. I'm watching the channel you linked, thanks

>>7897269
>you probably need to start cheap as you build a following
That's true, but only relative to your skill level to a certain extent. If you're some near industry level pro, I would say 80 dollars would be good starting out and if you're some guy /int/ or barely /int/ level, then 30-40 would be a good starting point. Like that famous Sweden tuber that people started sperging out about when he learned to draw in a few months, he can sell his artwork for hundreds to thousands just because his name is attached to it.
