How am I supposed to get followers and likes on twitter and ig? Everytime I post something I get 1 like from a random bot(?) and those shitty kids get like 500 likes with their bad and cringe art. When I post on reddit I get 100-600 updoots. Whats the trick to get more attention on social media? I cant stand it anymore checking twitter out every 20 minutes it I suddenly got new likes

>> No.5062934

Anon, stop giving a shit about and delete all your social media if you're already this miserable because you can't get your dopamine fix from not enough likes.
Nobody gives a shit about you and you're not special.
Delete thread and go draw

Have you tried joining a fandom reddit that likes OC fanart and just posting your twitter handle in the comments section of reddit so you can get the upvotes AND likes/retweets

Also work on art improvement, with better art more feedback will follow. 100-600 updoots is not bad depending on the subreddit. Of course, bigger fandoms might be more generous with them

You're a shitty grown up. This is like a parent trying to be hip with the kids using lingo he knows from his school days but only looking cringe. The only people who can pull it off are those with personalty like Vtubers or Utubas.

Otherwise you have to be extremely good at drawing.

He's right, you're just a /beg/ who doesn't understand that you burn out if you make art for years without getting any validation. No creative endeavor survives without any validation, especially when you see literal shit get that validation easy peasy. You lose faith in humanity and you lose faith in art. The only people who survive this predicament are drawmonkeys who don't give a fuck about art and are only into drawing because they can get 300$ for furry porn.
The idea that real artists will keep working on art in their homes for free and leave you a treasure of soulful paintings while you jerk off to sakimichan is fucking delusional, the truth is that passion for art needs to be cultivated, it needs to earn results, either monetary or human, when you say this stupid shit that artists should make art for the art and nothing else you are being an entitled retard. You will have no art, human resources don't sustain on their own with no rewards and only attrition, when you don't water a plant in the desrt it fucking dies, idiot.

I agree that art needs to be nurtured and validated in order to thrive but it's not impossible for an artist to keep going even without those things. Just look at Henry Darger.

I have tried and I realized that "artists" are the most fake and awful people I have ever met, and you're supposed to be friends with disgusting people who consider how many likes they'd get if they draw porn of their own grandma who just died or you'll be called a bigot. Artists are disgusting people.

>> No.5063740

>>5063735
It's simply not the same time and many people who got no validation from public or industry would get validation somewhere else, like a loving family. It's impossible to keep going in a total void like the internet.

>> No.5063748

>>5063740
And I only say this because I have to point out that people are fucking delusional when they demand that artists who aren't driven by money or vanity just give up. Yes people will give up when they make a painting and it gets 2 likes by bots and someone's shitty porn fanart gets 3000. There is no other form of validation available so it's completely retarded to demand that you fabricate your own validation. People just don't want to admit that they simply made a choice and their choice is porn and fanart and retarded shit that fucks their heads into addiction or shitty boring corporate stuff they love to hate and always complain about.

>> No.5063758

>>5063739
art might not be for you at all. if you have a passion for the craft, keep going, if you care about getting validation, you're going to have to be nice to other artists and mesh well with them. "normal" artists, or at least whatever your normal is, exist, you're not unique. make the effort, join the discord servers around here, smile sometimes.
it's less so about mooching off of their audiences and more having a circle of people you can rely on to give critique and some attention when you need it.

I don't care what you think about myself, I am presenting you with the future: good art will not exist in your future. You have chosen porn, fanart, shitty dull corporate industrially made chinkshit, you will never get good art that can really do something positive to you as a person again. This is just a fact. you will realize how massive this void you have created is when the last of the old guard will die. You will realize you've made a choice, I want you to know that this choice is evident now, it was evident 5 years ago and further back.

What did we have until now? Good art?
Or just art that got pushed to be sold?
Tell me one piece of art from the olds that had a massive cultural impact in the last 50 or so years, without it getting memed to death by news media and art "critiqs".
Also art was always some coom variation.
The mona lisa of yesterday is just your bland anime girl #465416184654 of today.
Birth of Venus? We can do porn now.
The scream? Yeah, we've got our own schizoposter on this board.

All art is subjective
All art is objectively shit and without value
If you haven't figured it yet, people ruin everything by either being complete faggots or consumeristic retards because in the end it's like this
>i like this picture thus it's good
>i don't like this picture thus it's bad
We're all guilty of this.

Nobody contextualizes anymore.
Nobody knows what the fuck they're talking about.
Everybody fails to see the bigger picture and find meaning to jerk themselves off intellectually.
Most people simply choose to jerk themselves off by consuming.

No matter how much you think you're special and even if in a parallel world where you are a messenger of god painting god's visions onto canvas, if people don't like it, they will not try to understand it thus they will consider it bad and other artists will try to find any flaws in your work or personal life if you dare to be better than them.
So don't come with the
>b-b-but in the paaaast everything was different
Absolutely nothing has changed.
What they couldn't draw in the past, they're doing it now.
>Inb4 what's the point
Stop trying to get validation from a bunch of nihilistic porn addicted monkeys and go draw because you enjoy it, not because you first and foremost want attention.
