I'm not sure what you post but the first thing I did was draw someone's character that I really liked and I got about 200 followers in a few hours. Also >>4041206 is right, it sounds kinda shallow but if you're above average in skill and act friendly you'll see some results.

nah it's all marketing and faggots pushing political narratives.
Social media isn't made for real people

>> No.4041663

>>4041651
Sounds like insanity to me. Pushing political narratives to extreme lengths is not normal. It's not made for regular folks who just want to see their OC or fantasies made by artists for a couple of bucks, but there's no better place to pick up clients.

>> No.4041678

>>4041663
Twitter was never made to be a platform to post artowork but it was made for the sole purpose to fulfill the need of the narcissists.
And like everything else, it was ruined by sociopaths who saw marketing and business opportunities.
You have to accept that most people on earth are a shit and shouldn't even be near other people.

Even when you want to tell everyone to fuck off and an hero even when you're right, you can't because your career might be over before it even starts.
I can't stand that shit either and everything builds up but blame the monkeys for being goddamn monkeys.

iv stayed at roughly the same follower count for over a year now while most of my friends have skyrocketed in followers, at first i didn't care but then i started to get a little insecure about it. It took me a while to realize that to get followers you need be actively responding to messages and commenting on stuff. I always thought that was a waist of time but I guess not

i could always just shill and make fanart for stuff i dont give a shit about and pray i get retweeted by some bigshot and get an extra couple followers

Just pretend you like promotion of women, gay rights, transgender rights, minorities, follow the latest twitter trends, nintendo characters, critical role fanart, do fanart of whatever cartoon network/anime/netflix animation is trending now and retweet every other artist that does the same and paraphrase their opinions back to them for e-friendships and networking.
Now just actually be good at art on top of this and you should get some commissions for a portfolio, be consistent and on time and make sure you can post your comissions on twitter with @'s.
Eventually you then beg every single person who replied to you that has a studio job and ask for work.

Hey guys I'm not a big artist or anything but I think you all exaggerate how people will think of you if you post something
Please don't be worried about your personality or the way you act, your art is an extension and abstraction of your very own expression and you shouldn't be afraid to express yourself
