retards will say drawlet babble like this as if though rendering isn't a combination of fundamentals, and then when you ask them to show you what actual "great fundamental skills" are they show you their art and it looks like this

Render monkey ruan jia paints from silhouettes. He must have forgotten the fundamentals by now

The meme is that attention is the currency. Its kind of always been that way though, thats why you see people with shit tier art making bank on patreon (thats the goal, isn't it?).
I've found that making your art fundamentally strong on its own means jack shit if you aren't capturing people's attention and engagement in other ways.

Try adding speech to your art, even if it doesnt make sense. That alone gives people more reason to interact. And if you get better at creating some kind of continuity that way, you'll be way better off than drawing a perfect figure drawing. Don't just lump all your time into beauty, it isn't enough anymore. This isn't some grand revelation either, people have known this for decades now.

>that's the goal, innit?

i hate how social media has turned all artists into celebrity youtubers who care about this shit. engagement this, trends that. just fucking find a website like furaffinity or deviantart and do one-time commissions like a normal person, instead of grifting on paysites with gacha girls.

Ruan Jia is a like a different one-of-a-kind special autism so you shouldn't really compare him to run of the mill patreon artists

You're starting to inherit Irshad's soul and artstyle. Keep it up.

the average nigger goycattle (budding included) only cares about the final product ("OOOH SHINY") than the process.

But that doesn't give much money though and it's not like on how it use to be, anon. Thanks to social media, There are a lot more artist reaching 6 figs to millions a year now a days. Also deviant art shat it self with the shilling of gen shilling.

Agreed. Maybe you're <25 y.o., but eventually you'll realise that, in the modern era, even drawing for fun quickly becomes impossible and unenjoyable if you aren't also making a steady income elsewhere or have a partner to subsidise your interest.
This idea that you should draw and study art for the love of the game is retarded in the long run, unless you wanna be a parasite on your parents at 40. Its especially retarded given the point made that its pretty straight forward to start a business off your art nowadays (though I wonder how much longer this rainbow period will last).
Its not being a numbers whore, its being realistic.

Someone who financially supports artists isn't a normie. The average person doesn't care about art or artists.

I get more likes on a post when I render a crappy sketch compared to what I actually put effort into

Idealism will always prevail in materialist world. Either you keep your art as a 'mere' hobby or actually make your capital from it, no in between. Its fucking harsh out there but there's nothing we can do - art in general has become oversaturated and the market is extremely crowded. Dont know where everything is headed, cant see where everything is going to go after this.
>>
>>7910306
What about artists who never render and only post sketches, lineart, or simple coloring?
