This depends ENTIRELY on how much of an impact has your work made on your audience/followers.
People attention's span and mental space is limited. If your work is "good enough" (A.k.a. Very enjoyable, beautiful, entertaining, impactful, Iconic, DIFFERENT LOOKING, thought provoking, remarkable, or a long etc) then people will get it engraved into their memory, at least at a passive/subconscious level.
I want you to think of when you found new artworks from artists that you've followed but had forgotten about from months or even years. Even though a long time has passed since you had them in your active memory, you most likely remembered them their work.

Now of course, if most of your drawings are dull or their subject matter has been done millions of times and better and in ways you could never surpass nor distinguish your art from the rest in any way, then you’re probably out of luck. But that’s why you have to keep drawing and IMPROVE.
For better or worse, nobody is OWED a loyal audience. If you want long lasting recognition, you have no choice but put in the work.
