I've just been calling people slurs and posting "Just Draw" at everyone.

Let's see
- cares more about likes than the quality of his art
- beginner level artwork
Diagnosis: permabeg who will never create beautiful art

>>8070602
Beautiful calligraphy anon

>>8070603
am i really beginner level? I showed my comics to some pros recently at a comic con this year and they all said my work was solid. Got stuff to improve but they all said its at the "decent enough" stage (As in talking about if i could get puublished they said if I had a good story with the art then yes)

Also no I dont really care about likes extraordinarily. I've been a hermit barely sharing my art for years, I just wanna know good ways to grow my accounts. Is it vain to want other people to see your artwork for once?

I don't think retweets do anything anymore. I've been retweeted by big accounts and the impressions don't even budge. If you're NSFW your account is probably not even recommended.

>>8070577
Yeah, it's one way. It can give you a bump.
People tend to make the mistake of trying to grow social media before their art has anything going for it at all (ie before almost anybody would want to follow them) but this is definitely getting there.
Try not to rely too much on it because social media is fickle and you can't guarantee that the subject of your fanart will even see it let alone hit that button, but yes, a bit of fanart once in a while can help you grow an account.

>>8070577
the strat is to draw other people's ocs too anon
and other popular slop and piggyback off of their fame by establishing friendly relations (friendship)

and also appealing to your fanbase

>>8070606
Yes, you are beginner. level. Do note that just like online people may talk shit just cuz, so the opposite applies to real life, where a lot of people will have one opinion but prefer to avoid saying it because they don't want to get in a confrontation.

>>8070580
it's shittier
work on your comedic timing
>but comics don't have time
they have rhythm

>>8070577
It's either that or niche fetish porn. My fart fetish art got 300+ likes

you have to ride that wave now and be consistent. you got in, now just dont stop.

>>8070577
>Is the best strat just to do fanart for bigger artists, as well as for popular games/ characters?
Yes. The entire point of the site is sharing each other's posts, so of course making an image that would get the attention of a bigger account (and reposting it) would be the best play.
Just make sure you're making fanart for someone who isn't a massive self absorbed faggot, who DOES actually repost other people's work. Some assholes don't share other's work for a plethora of bullshit reasons, so just treat them in kind and don't engage with them, and definitely don't make them fanart.

>>8070577
That and trends, hopefully you drew malfoid when that was hot

Thanks for all the feedback, I'll probably draw 1-2 fanart/ comic pieces every week of OCs or popular characters and see how that goes. Should be good practise as that was half the reason I started this anyway, I'm mainly working on some comics like the page im doing now in picrel, so that all should be a good change of pace

Last few times I posted on /ratings/ I mainly got ints and a few high begs, and the pros I'm talking about were at portfolio reviews so I dont know how much they're gonna lie to me.

Probably more of a sign that I'm not putting enough effort into the shit I posted above as it was made pretty quickly, but some of the other stuff I've locked in for people seem to think is ok. Not saying I think I'm a pro, but people generally seem to think I'm decent enough to make it in comics if I make shit like picrel

>/ratings/
you mean /plg/?
anon that thread has people rating without posting their own fucking work
it's literally just a trolling hub where one goes to roll the dice and argue about retarded shit that doesn't matter

>>8071627
if you can draw like that, why dont you always draw like that?

How would you rate merrivius?
