How do you post art on instagram without completely losing the quality? It seems like no matter what setting or format I use, my image turns to shit.

>>5044374
damn

>>5044624
instagram automatically compresses the image, there is no way to keep the original quality but it is not really an issue if your original file has a good resolution.

>>5044147
Awkward, stiff, empty, and amateurish.

>>5044161
Almost the exact same thing. Incredibly stiff and thoroughly uninteresting.

>>5044188
You've got a unique, consistent style and your vibrant, saturated colors are an excellent selling point for your work. Keep it up, anon

>>5044256
Awful technique, but at least you have ambition and the drive to create more complete works. Looks like you're having fun with it, unlike >>5044147 & >>5044161

>>5044374
Decent skills muddled up by a lack of focus. Stylistically all over the place. Many drawings - taken on their own - are well done, but it's all so inconsistent.

>>5044385
ugh

>>5044393
Obviously underlying skills ruined by a lack of polish and effort. Your work can be engaging and appealing, but it looks like you just quit too early on almost every piece when you should see it through to completion. Your technique is too loose, lazy and muddy. You could really benefit from tightening everything up.

>>5044433
I think you make too many quick drawings. I think it'd be better and you'd make stronger gains if you focused longer on fewer pieces. Your pieces where you've obviously spent more time on them are way better than your daily drawings.

>>5044458
Another weeb account full of sketches and unfinished work. Why do so many people just abandon their drawings 1/4 of the way through, call it done, and then post it?

>>5044601
Ink drawings are tight and solid, past digital paintings are pretty unremarkable. I'd be interested in seeing which direction you decide to commit to more.

>>5044677
Stylistically all over the place and most of it is unremarkable. The blue 'Saint' guy is my favorite, but that level of quality and polish seems to be missing from everything else.

>>5044696
Generic weeb coomer art, featuring awkward characters on a flat background. Truly groundbreaking.

>>5044852
Overall, pretty tight. Clear improvement in recent pieces over earlier pieces.

I like to write for each thing I post. I was up late last night and painted this out of nowhere to try and express myself.

"occasionally I find myself in a state of complete dissaray, with no concept of priority or responsibility, distracting myself from the sensation of being saturated with self hatred with endless escapism that brings me lower than before.

I despair at the concept of identity, for in these times my self image is of a meek, short-sighted, mumbling and trembling louse, and I fear that my self identity will align with others perceptions of me, that I'll find myself truly despised and rejected for the reasons I currently choose to hate myself for.

Amid escapism is found dissociation, I'm plagued with a non-present dreamlike feeling as the day numbly whirls past unbeknownst to me. I feel absolutely capable of dissipating completely, as if from some unseen cosmic wind will cast away my consciousness like a dawn-mist burned away from the rising sun."

>>5045656

>>5045912
Based off what you've posted, trying to do "paid requests" instead of getting a stable job & income is a recipe for disaster. Your work is too mediocre, too niche, too unpolished, your output is too slow, your audience is almost nonexistent, and I'm going to assume you have no idea what you're doing when it comes freelancing or how to get commissioned work.

It would be extremely foolish of you to try and sustain yourself with your artwork.

>>5045656
>Ugh

>>5045954
and? you want a world with less art by encouraging potential artists to give up? kind of odd behavior.

>>5045656
Can you show us your work?

>>5045860
I like your work, seems you havent posted your comic up anywhere yet, though. Where do you plan on posting it?

>>5045912
you should consider going to an actual art school before that kind of commitment.

your works still way too generic looking and most of them are inspired on dumb stuff like fantasy/high fantasy (which lowers your bar since thats a specific niche aimed for nerds and the like)

>>5045996
You have severe reading comprehension issues. At no point in my comment did I suggest >>5045912 should "give up", because I want a "world with less art".

>>5044145
How do you guys stay relevant and spread your art when hashtags are being suppressed by Big Tech?

I'm getting less than 10% new viewers on each post when my past posts have all been 80%+ >>5045850

>>5046206
I've never tried to be relevant, I just post art cause I like posting it. It is pretty nice when they do well in likes but that's not my end goal.

>>5046206
Stop using the same hashtags.
You've probably been flagged by the system as a spambot because always posting repeating things makes you seem inorganic.
Or you're watching/liking the "wrong stuff" and you're softbanned.

>>5046221

>Or you're watching/liking the "wrong stuff" and you're softbanned.

what do you mean by this?

>>5046228
Related to politics.
If you like or play content that comes from an account with "suspicious" behavior, you'll get tagged as "suspicious" too.
What that "suspicious" behavior is, you make it out.

>>5046221
Wow you can really get soft banned for using hashtags? I post once a week tops but keep to the same hashtags because I have a niche artstyle. I've been told that a key to succeeding is to use a couple hashtags and stick to them because then your art will be seen at the recent popular posts.

I've gotten several posts with 300-400 likes and even 980 likes but I haven't had any posts get more than 90 since the election hashtag suppression started.

Are you dumb

>>5046272
Yes, if your tweets are inorganic i.e. always posting the same words or using he same hashtags, it will happen, even moreso if you post once a week, since
>inactivity+same tweets = bot behavior.

>key to succeeding is to use a couple hashtags and stick to them
You might have better luck on IG since it works differently than twitter.
>since the election hashtag suppression started.
Could just be that your work didn't appeal?
Or it didn't get featured in your followers timelines?
Can be many factors, but judging things based on likes, is not a good thing.
>jesus christ that's really dumb
Welcome to big corporations trying to control information and doing politics.
Everyone loses.

>>5046239
should I stop following "famous people"?
cause everytime I start following someone with significant number of followers (1M or more) immediately after that a dozen of bot starts following me. And I suppose that it can potentially put me on bad terms with the platform.

>>5046411

>>5046505

>>5047235

post your drawing and the reference u used so we can find out what went wrong

>>5047235
Maybe your reference was stiff? If you can’t make a compelling gesture of your reference, chances are it’s not a good reference.

>>5045656
Hate him all you want but you're just coping, overall all he said is the truth.

>>5045656

>>5047444
Truth? Yeah totally man.
Most of his feedback is just half-baked opinions and the other is just shallow observations with nothing real constructive to say.
Frankly I think he's posting just because it makes him feel more important than he really is.

>>5044167
Thanks fren

>>5045656
Yeah, I think stiffness is my biggest issue overall, I'm thinking of going through some Vilppu next year, after I finish dynamic sketching. Too bad I'm totally swamped with school work right now.

>>5047036
Like i already said; if the tweets are repetitive, you're going to get flagged by the system as inorganic.
If say; as an artist, you always post text+picture, that can be seen as inorganic and every post that repeats will get less and less engagement because it won't be favored by the algorithm. Even if you have a lot of followers, if they follow other people, your post will get last priority and rarely appear on their timelines.
You have to change it up, tweet more often, rt once in a while. You have to introduce variety and diversity into your tweets.
Twitter algorithm is bad for regular people, especially if you're trying to cater to a niche.
I think there is a youtube video about the subject of how twitter works, something to do with blue checkmarks and stuff.

>>5047794

>>5046491
Keep in mind that all of this is baseless conjecture from incomplete information. Nobody knows how the algorithms work for certain. You'll find different & contradicting advice of all kinds on every corner of the internet. For example, you'll have people saying you should never use more than 5 hashtags on IG, and others who say you should always use the max 30, etc. etc.

Even just in this thread, you've both said things that are heavily disputed elsewhere. Don't take social media advice from anonymous strangers on the internet.

>>5046024
>>5045954
Well, despite the fact that I'm agreeing with both of you, I'll do it anyway. I've spent more than a decade with stuff like construction and logistics, and neither gives you a stable income anyway. So fuck it, I made enough money to waste a year on this and regret it for the rest of my life. Shitty jobs will be always there

>>5048283
Sure, anon. You do you. What's your plan? Do have any idea what to do in order to make money?

Trying to grow a following and declaring that you're open for commissions is not a good plan. You'll need to do far more than that.

>>5048188
Why baseless? I'm basing it on my own experiences, observations and information i've collected over the years tinkering with social media.
Twitter algorithm favors organic behavior i.e. posting like a regular user with varying degrees of post frequency and post diversity.
If you're bluecheckmarked, you'll always get priority, that's why most companies and famous people get checkmarked for a fee, and they will not get pushed down by the algorithm if they run botlike behavior.

IG favors consistency since it works more like a library but it isn't a true social media. If you want to be seen on IG you better use the right tags so your work can be seen by the people you want to see. It's more about putting your work in a specific box and hope that people looking through that box will get aware of you.

The whole
>Nobody knows how the algorithms work for certain
Is legal speech to not get sued to hell and back by companies for revealing company secrets like the algorithm, because if people figure it out, they can game the platform and they're forced to change the algorithm.

And algorithms are not black and white, there are many variables and there will always be some error margin if someone tries to point out how it works but advice should always be take with a grain of salt only a fool would take anything anyone ever says as gospel, but that doesn't give you the right to try to debase anything people say just because of whatever reason you have.

Try to post anything about how the twitter algorithm works and see how fast you'll get your account deleted.

>>5048293
Well, I guess first of all I'll increase my following, then I'll put up a fiverr page and have some friends request drawings
Also I'll actually polish drawings properly from now on, and I'll compile a portfolio so I can show it to publishers at cons- apparently its the easiest way to get into the fantasy shit industry in my country- and also make it circulate between the people I know have some hook into art jobs
Maybe its going to work, maybe not. I don't want to get old and have regrets

It’s kind of dumb since I like it when people post their exercises and daily draws, but now all I see are meme pictures and drawings with 50k likes on my feed. There’s something satisfying about being 1 of 4 people who like a drawing from a quiet artist.

I do pixel art.

Instagram has sucked has for the last few months so I decided to try twitter, I'd appreciate everything to make this account grow.
