i feel like no one likes my art. i get complimented on it sometimes irl, however online i get hardly any recognition. i know being noticed isnt important to some people but i would like to monetize my hobby. do i suck or is it just back luck w social media? does anyone else have a similar dilema?
pic related is just something i started like 45 mins ago

How often do you post? What platforms are you on? Instagram, twitter? You haven't given enough information, it could be because you suck, or it could be because you don't post enough or just don't market yourself well online

ok retard, pay attention
being “good” has nothing to do with profitability
depending on the route you take, it’s either about specific skills you have (design, writing, ideas, etc) or uniqueness and appeal
that’s literally it

judging on that one image you sported (aka fucking nothing), you could maybe do well in some dark, gothic, vampire context, like if you painted a comic, a vn, illustrated a novel cover or some rpg playerbook or something, provided you could write the first two or get someone else to
is someone going to pay you to paint shit in that style out of the blue? no, without context it looks lame, and without you showing something else, I’ll assume the rough, realistic, dead greyscale with black shadows, no bounce light and faded features is all you can do
there’s no haha I draw gib moni pl0x scheme here, you’re not going to start posting these on instagram and get people to give you money, you need to actually supply something they want, and literally no one wants paintings of grey women looking down in 3/4

>>4828980 hit the nail on the head. Your art only impressive in real life because normalfags and low tier /beg/s can't even fathom how much work goes into a making art so you're a commodity. But on the best that is the internet talented artist though far and few inbetween feels far more commonplace because thereshit is plastered everywhere. Sad to way, but if you're not going to be drawing trendy art or become so expectation at that people can't ignore your work you will continue to be some nobody with shit taste. Be smart and take the semirealism pill, it's what people actually cares about.
