✿ ~ I love you moeh
Thank you for all this info!! One thing that I find fun about posting oc art is that if you have a little audience or some mutuals who enjoy oc lore keep things vague at first while slowly dropping clues about their story!! This is something I really liked doing, because it involved messing with my friends and telling more people about my characters. Doing it episodically is the key :D
Even though getting more likes/views wasn’t my goal for going that, I must admit it did give a little boost
this is so helpful thank you!!!!!
@@aggie9707 np! Some fun stuff i did was writing journal entries from their point of view, vague poetry, lore related art, ect :)
How do ppl even build an audience... Im starting for scratch but cannot get a single attention orz
I have no friends/moots with similar interests nor do I know where to find them... Arghh
i’m sorry, i really don’t know :’D it honestly kind of just happened to me…I’M SO SORRY I WISH I HAD SOME ACTUAL ADVICE 😭@@walwal6449
Didn't Instagram change hashtags, that you cant really filter for the new works, but only see a collection of the most popular. That's so destructive for new artists...
You are correct , the only way poeple see things in the hashtag is by following it now and getting post related to it , yt hashtags work a lot better
YES!I went to check that filter and is gone how am i gonna find small artists?!
you mean the recent top posts? what was it before? i wasnt rlly active on ig
yes that's honestly such a dck move by them sorry I am not famous yet I was literally trying to be
@@nonickname-zy9mu Sorry for not answering before, but before Instagram hashtags were sorted into multiple lower categories.
So if you take #art you had a tab with the top posts in it and one with the most recent posts with the hashtag.
This made it possible to find small artists etc that just posted something with that hashtag. Now only the top posts that already have bunch of views can be seen. Its pretty sad tbh.
1) focus on growing and stay on the forefront of audience’s mind by being consistent. Post actual art once a week.
2) repost old work.
3) have a doodle/sketch acc + main (put in bio)
4) engagement >>> quantity/follows etc
5) take care of mental health
6) online prescience (ur look). Have a pfp that represents who u r and ur artist. Keep the same pfp
Username: stick out in ppl’s head -> needs to be sticks out, easy to say and remember. two words eg: para0llel (rolls off the tongue, the zero sticks out)
Bio:
7) post fandoms + trends, hashtags and other artist’s work. Balance between ur og work etc. doing trend with ur own twist to it. Include oc backstory, and other stuff so ppl grow attached to it.
8) draw what u love and put thought and emotion into it.
9) have a recognisable style that makes u immediately recognisable (for me, probably look like smth out of a picture book with textures?
10) negative stuff makes u shadowbanned. Even if it’s a joke. Follow guidelines + community standard. To get unbanned, delete it and delete what;S wrong and post again
11) INTERACTIVE/REACH: colourful, patterns, emotions, relatable -> show experiences ; provoke them to ask questions.
this needs to be pinned 😭😭
par0llel mentioned!! Wtf is a non cinematic worldbuilding creator 🔥🔥🔥❤🔥🗣🗣🗣🔊🔊🔊🔥🗣🗣🔊🔊🗣🗣🔥🔥🔊🔊🔥🔥🔥🔊🗣
Damn. Tysm!! Could you drop your social acc usernames here so that I can support you? :33
The "sketch account" example is so good!!! i often doodle way more than completing actual full pieces of art so I'll def consider trying this out
Here's an idea if you dont wanna manage more than one account keep posting doodles on stories and have them saved in highlights or smth.
@@reyrb6011and for artists on RUclips, simply post your doodles and try to arrange them, this is a bit harder but it makes your channel more neat.
@@reyrb6011 I AGREE highlights r so fun to look at i go thru every artists highlighlights fr
@@reyrb6011thank you. my way of drawing isn't complex but in a AVERAGE range. :3
Omg didn't expect to get name dropped haha, great video thou! Very informative.
Yooooooo
AHHH heyyy!! your username is probably the best example i could think of, sorry i didnt ask before including you TT thank you though 💕
1: be 14
2: make annoying reels/tiktoks
3: have a style so simple that it can be considered colored sketches
4: post daily
5: genshin/popular anime fanart
That's it, at least according to insta's algorithm
Be 14? Well not wrong tho we have a telegram community gc full of young and old artists and we all grown ups arre having hard time where as 12,4yrs old having time of their lives lmao they have no skills but.....
Frrr
Fake news i do 4 of these things and no one gaf
@@shikazu6489 whats the telegram?
LMAOOO
*sighs* "give yourself time to grow" was a sentence I needed, thank u ;u;💕
OF COURSE !!!! its so important, you have many years to figure out where you need to go and what you have to learn
I'm someone who gets immediately depressed when I'm drawing something just for a trend because honestly I feel like it's all the same empty thing every time. I have no idea how I would ever keep up this
Quality over quantity is key, and boost app social has been my go-to for maintaining that. It helps me plan and create content that resonates with my audience, keeping my art's integrity while growing my reach. Any other artists here found it helpful?
Also a boost app social user, and I've seen a big uptick in engagement on my posts since I started.
No
I’ve found that doesn’t really hold true anymore unless you have a quality level that makes you top in your industry… otherwise algorithms see infrequent posts and you get buried with low engagement. Social media often operates and pushes up creators with lots of quantity content that can frequently post
If it works for you I’m really glad though! I’ve noticed people nowadays also enjoy consistent content without changes in style or subject, when they follow someone they often want the same vibe to curate to their tastes.
You're giving a wrong advice with a big confidence and a straight face. Quality over quantity doesn't work in social media and any artist would agree with it. If you were to draw the trending thing, you would have to do it fast before the trend died out and striving for quality contradicts it. Simple stuff with simple shadows and zero to no background based on popular themes and characters always gets more attention, than a fleshed out piece of art with immaculate details and render based on not so popular media.
Quality > Quantity is a rule of the past, when DeviantArt was still the most used platform for art. Now you have to post constantly with broader reach to get followers. Only after you get the audience, you can start posting something "for your soul" from time to time. The only exception is if you want to work professionally in a studio where only skill and connections matter, but this video is not about that. Such plan barely works in social media and you have to be really lucky to get noticed that way.
I gave up on social medias because despite doing EVERYTHING you told in this video (and for years), all the interactions I had was robots tagging fake accounts... I'm tired
But I'll have to restart over if I want to grow as an independant artist :/
Thank you for the video !
i feel this so much. have been going on the same for years now, but i decided to enter a tourney server for a game i liked and applied for doing art prizes for the winners. i got to know a lot of artists and people in general and honestly it looks like a great way to start an art career. obviously not the only one but it seems to be working for me :)
@@zaybeol That's so good for you buddy ! Hope it'll turns great for your art journey ✨❤️
@@HNblaz thanks! likewise for you :D
@@HNblaz also just noticed you’re also a fellow splatoon player, that’s pretty neat!! :D
@@zaybeol I'm a huge fan of Splatoon since the first game !! But I've never found friends to seriously play on it 😅
00:00 🎨 Prioritize growing your reach as an artist by setting goals and consistently investing time and effort into your artwork and online presence.
02:41 💬 Engage actively with your audience by replying to comments, asking for opinions, and building genuine connections, as engagement matters more than follower count.
05:54 🧠 Take care of your mental health while navigating social media growth, and focus on building a recognizable online presence through profile pictures, usernames, and bios.
09:10 🌟 Balance between posting trending content and showcasing your original passion projects to maintain audience engagement without compromising your artistic identity.
11:58 ⚠ Avoid shadow banning on social media platforms by adhering to community guidelines and refraining from negative or offensive language, even in jest.
13:19 🔍 Use hashtags strategically to increase visibility and categorize your content effectively, understanding what type of content resonates best with your audience.
I know for a FACT that the posting fandom content works because one time I posted a TADC OC challenge on tiktok since I couldn't find a decent one, and it went semi-viral, as of now, there's 4.8k views, 204 likes, and 62 favs and is my most popular vid on tiktok
Edit: unrelated but right after this comment, I caught a bug midair
I feel extremely depressed because I only ever get likes from an NFT account and a bit coin selling account- I rarely get any likes from people who are normal…
Whats your account name?
@@julioecharte1077 @avadraws or ☆AvaEditz☆ // 🍓
Sorry I didn’t respond until now- my RUclips thing isn’t showing when I get comments
I do all these, and taken everyone else’s advice, yet my engagements is going down with every post and my followers list has remained the same amount of numbers for half a year. I’m sick of people saying to just be happy with my numbers, bc *news flash*, I am forever greatful, but what’s wrong with wanting to grow more, esp when I want to make a business at some point?
I gain lots of attention but rarely follows. It’s gotten to the point where I’ve given up trying to improve.
Just what I need! I’ve been trying to grow with art, thank you for posting this Bloo ❤
same
Thank you for all the info! I'm still experimenting with social media and its sometimes hard but your video gave me few ideas to plan and do better :D! Keep up the good work 💪🏽!
Thank god there are subtitles, i couldn’t understand a thing from the way you spoke. No offense of course. Thanks to whoever that did the subtitles!
a lot of people let me know the same thing, ill be pronouncing things a lot better in the next one
@bluebiscuits Subtitles are cool but your voice is nice! The way you speak is calming
I really appreciate the advice and the motivation! I've been struggling a lot with social media recently and it seems like I can't catch a break recently 😅
video starts at 2:21
This video is like a Complete Digital artist guide 2023 types! Love It. Every tip is so useful.
I should just hire you for title idea xD
haha, would love to :p @@bluebiscuits
tysm for this info i think i now know why my art doesnt do well on instagram, i do post decently consistant and a lot of fanart a lot of which being things that are trending, but i constantly switch style, color pallete and brushesso i think that might be my problemn
that might be BUT like i said in the video its good to test around with styles and brushes and to branch out, especially if your a newer artists since your trying to find yourself, youre doing everything right , its just socail media sucks
I agree with everything on here but the title should be “how to grow on instagram” since you used only instagram screenshots 😂
I'll say this: thats probably the first sponsor ever that ive seen and im actually going to try it out. This couldnt have come at a better moment (altough im watching this months later from posting lol) because just today i was struggling with making a decent looking commission sheet ^^
Does anyone have any tips on how to make people care for your OCs? 🖤 I’m a relatively new to posting OCs, so I don’t really know when to share stuff about them and how to make people care. 😅
I think as long as the art you draw of them is emotive, people will remember and soon become curious who the recurring character in your art is! I never draw fan art and nor do most of my mutuals, so there absolutely is an audience out there who prefer original art 💗
another comment said that slowly dropping hints about their story through their art over time will make people more interested in them and get attached! really focus on showing off their personalities! drawing a simple pose is ok for something like a character sheet but try and do more creative things to show off ur OCs normal activities and stuff! like if they love reading draw them sleeping surrounded by books drooling on the pages or if theyre aggressive show them gripping someones shirt with their fist about to beat tf out of them haha! something that does really well also is humor and relatability so people share it and are like "she just like me fr" LMAO if you can find a way to incorporate those things i think it should help! also random but sketches usually do really well too
Thank you so much, I’ve been doing art for two years now and I really would like to grow my audience 😭
I’d like share my art to 👍
love when you post bloo
YAAYY bluebiscuits posted! 🎉
AAAA THANK YOU FOR UPLOADINGGG your one of my biggest inspirations, and your vids have helped me alot with growing my own channel and just drawing in general!!! THANK YOU!!!
Uhhh why are you promoting an AI website
Because it’s helpful? Get your head out of your ass
Because it's a sponser...
This is the third time you posted something at the same time I was looking into it 😮. Thank you so much for sharing you tips and strategies, you can't believe how useful they are!
ive started posting more on pinterest lately and this is very helpful!
Anything but Pinterest 😭 it’s not very interactice
You got find place share I’m working on sharing my art and start up my channel 🥺🙂
This is helpful 💗 your tutorial for everything really helps :3 trying to improve more in RUclips and art
Thank you very much for this video Bloo!! ♥
I honestly feel that it will help me a lot, to be able to use my social networks in a better way, I thank you very much, you have always been my favorite artist, I love all your works, and I love the help that your videos give me! UwU
tnx for the advice! I'm a cut-out animator for so long(worked freelance on mostly cartoons,chuck's choice, my little pony, where's waldo etc.) i'm kinda getting burned out of it and recently the company I work for ceased operations, leaving me with free time so I decided to just go and post my art online
my artpage got banned on fb not even lasting a week LMAO, but I'm having success on pixiv, might try on other sites later, would like to try commissions but i'm entirely new to this I still don't know how this works XD
Hoping the best for those starting their art journey, it's not too late to start now! :)
gasp, i lovee mlp
Thank you so much for this video! This really helps a lot! I'm kind of struggling with Instagram at the moment..and I already quickly burned myself out!
Hey thanks for this video! I’m not going to college and I’m trying to work on being an artist/animator full time! Thank you!💖💖
Does anyone else get that feeling where they feel unworthy of watching someone’s video because the creator is just so amazing? Yeah, I get that with bluebiscuit. Your art is so great, thanks for blessing the platform with your presence ::)
same 😔
Real
I don’t everyone start somewhere 😊you got focus on what want work at it improve to all my fellow artists I believe in you 🙂
hi, don't drag yourself down to compliment someone. it makes not only you but others also feel like shit
@@moths.for.valentine apologies. I didn’t intend for that effect, I just wanted to comment on the emotional phenomena I feel when in the presence of a really good artist. ::)
No one is unworthy, you all have so much potential (myself included), find your niche and you can do great things.
thank you so much for making this!! ive been thinking about starting a channel for my art, so this will help a lot. ❤❤
oo you should def
Go for it 🙂
instagram has me kinda shadowbanned on both my art accounts, not even a single like from people who don´t follow me, not even the bots come to say to dm my art to their accounts, and I don't know why, I don't have anything that goes against Instagram rules.
if you dont post for a while your piece wont end up on others feeds, its like a light shadowban, if you start being a little more active it should help
im sorry this has happended to you
Thank you so much for the advice! Progress for me has been slow to be honest, but I’m still improving nonetheless. Here’s hoping that I succeed in my career soon! Just gotta keep going at it!
sometimes even just inputing your original characters in the roles of popular ones, it’s still a sense of familiarity
The only way to be popular on social media these days is to be a bisexual 12 year old who has the talent of Andy Gaskill.
Ty so much for this video :). I have a yt channel and it's not rlly preforming well because I BARELY post, I literally go months without posting because making just one piece of art takes me a lot of time. Also, I have so many things I want to post abt, but because my parents see my RUclips channel and stuff, I can't really post about stuff I'm passionate about since they're going to ask about the things I'm drawing 😭.
i get that, have you considered going under a different username ? you should do the things youre passionate about even if that means not showing it to people close to you
@@bluebiscuits I mean, ur right. I just posted a video yesterday abt a drawing I did for a popular show on the internet rn, and I just did it because I’m just tired of not posting for a while, and I still have a lot more work to do since posting one thing abt a fandom isn’t going save my channel, but thx for the advice! I’ll see if I can change my username into something more memorable, but at the moment idk because I have a hard time coming up with usernames lol
I just start my channel today 🎉😊
Dang they must have paid CRAZY for a 2 minute+ sponsor segment
if you wanna post OCs make them smexy😏
Thank you for this video, i might try to publish videos of how my animations look like as sketches. 🥰
There is no words to explain how much i will cherish this knowledge. I'll cling to it like its my lifeline, like there is no other reason to exist in this planet
gosh i've been following you since 50k! this is quite random but its amazing to see you half way to 500k, goodluck for the future!! ^^
woah that was forever ago ! thank you for sticking around
honestly… I wish there was a button that disables you from seeing views, followers, and like counts. I need to teach myself not to be affected by numbers when I don’t get the result I want
I know insta has an option where you can hide the likes you receive ! I also think twitter (X) has something similar (?) I’ve seen some artists have no likes visible on there a while ago :D
Thank you!! I feel like the algorithm hates me, because I've barely gotten anywhere as in, 2-3 months now? as I am trying to make my au (undertale au) to be known. I always drop some info, plus I upload the comic on a different page compared to my tiktok, but I have the same username and everything you mentioned. I just rather make related content there, as that can usually attract attention and lead people to investigate on what you have. I hope miracles exist and I'll be seen with my hard work :)
Thank you so much for encouraging me!
Now i feel more motivated to keep going as a artist!🤯😆
You got this just keep working on your art 😊
@@Mrmysterious-dj1ov I will keep that in mind!!!
Thanks a lot!:D
@@fushi564 your welcome 🤗
I hate that I don't have any interaction in my draws ANYTHING, just dumb bot accounts 😢
All the management of social media it's always ending really difficult to me
Please give us tips on how to shoot reels of digital art!
I agree since it is the current main way to reach new people 😒😞 I really miss the time when pictures were the main pieces to follow
I am actually planning to be a..traditional artist but got no idea how to be...people just talk abt digital art and not traditional..i need guidence plsszz 😭🙏
For me it happened out of nowhere and got 4k! :) my goal is 10k >:)
The afrikaans accent on the advertisement, and "kakie".
I love your vids sabs you've helped me alot im sorry that i was rude previously in the comments N.P .
bahahaha don’t call me out like this
@@bluebiscuitsoof i didn't know you would respond immediately love your videos ♡♡
@@Niyuki-Sonomi I’m slightly happy to hear you understood the Afrikaans haha
❤️❤️ thank you so much
Golden advice here, thank you ✨️
I just opened my art account and i was so confused to get things started this gave me clearer ideas !
thank you so much for the advice, a year ago, you helped me draw faces better, a few years ago, you helped me draw hands better, and now youre teaching me how to start as well? thank you! :DDDD
Extrañe tus vídeos, me alegro mucho que hayas vuelto 🌸👌
I hate the fact that I was growing my account very well last year but sINCE I'm very lazy I stopped posting for a LONG time,,, now I'm trying to reach the same numbers like I used to 😿😿😿
Thank you for your tips, but the way you speak makes it really hard to listen. You swallow every second word 😭
Thx for the Tips
-I earn tips
+You earn a subscriber :3
Aaaah it's hard to gain visibility these days and it's quite demotivating sometimes, but I'll keep going !! Thanks for this video
Even if get share with few people if people like what do and encourage you it still a wonderful thing 😊
me, watching this with 300 followers for the last 8 years.... oh...
Video starts at 2:30
one of my main struggles is my artstyle changing too much, but ill get a stable one one day
great video and good advice, and one of the few videos I've seen on this that are more for artists, recent, and straight to the point.....but please slow down when you're talking and don't mumble so much. Others are thinking it's because they're not native English speakers...but I am and it's nearly impossible to understand you without subtitles. Please slow down and mumble less, I'm begging!
Also multilingual and I used to do the same with one of my other languages, thinking that speaking fast made me sound more native, but it doesn't and I'd much rather have a much longer video with all the same great content...but actually be able to understand you :') and I'm sure your non-native speaker followers are having a rougher time.
For your next vid pls do skin tut❤
I have 1 year worth of a background in PR. Think making posts weekly on behalf of groups/companies with a small community. I got bored and made a fake post on reddit and found chat gbt is really, really good (scarily good) at picking up buzzwords, trendy topics, and ect. That ONE post legit doubled my karma as someone who never posts and typically only comments. I did this as an experiment to see how good Ai is at being an influencer and I'll be damned if Ai is the best influencer.
I wonder what would happen if a current art channel were to adapt using chat gbt descriptions to boost analytics if it would have a more explosive or deadened effect. If you try/already tried this feel free to share the results/data?
So... I create my instagram account like 3 years ago... And i only have 84 followers... I know that I may have done wrong things but... I have a question, what do you think would be better, try to safe the account o create a new one?
Like last week, I uploaded a tiktok with one of my artworks and I got like 60k likes in 4 days, but all my other videos get like 300-400 views lol
soemtimes it just happens out of nowhere! congrats though
haha i defo dont change my pfp every 2763 times a day... definitely... 😊
There’s some really great points here that I’ve not seen mentioned before! 😮
love this!! honestly it doesn't matter if you are at an intermediate level, it feels like I'm growing with you
holy cow i usually play informational videos at 2x speed but you talk so fast that i had to do 1.25x
WHFEOHFUE i get that a lot, im from south africa and we speak really fast here
Forgot to mention to never post anything related to partners as well because that literally makes some people unfollow.
This is a good point, as well if you break up you’ll owe an explanation to your audience and it’s can get tricky
@@bluebiscuits Yep, been there. But on the other hand, I would love to date someone artsy too but both sides kinda suck. You cannot post anything related to partners because that makes people unfollow and also you cannot really say that you are single because once you reach high-audience there will be multiple people being creeps in dm's. It's basically lose-lose situation lol Thanks for your videos though, I have been fan for some time including both your ig profiles.
this is so random but are you south african by any chance? i used to live there and your accent reminds me of cape town :>
8:11 I think it's pronounced parallel. I used to call it "parol" in my head lmao
thanks for ur informative video! Im struggling to be consistent lately since Im taking course but I will start reporting once a week from my old works!
Thanks for your candid advice! I'll be sure to put it to use ^^
def gotta agree with the follower count lolol i have like 10k from my past activity when i was 12 and its been so hard to grow since ive been busy :'^D
Me watching thinking i’ll post my art soon: 😀
Me never posting and just playing free draw: 😀 (😔)
*sweats with a long complex username that i can't no longer change it cuz it has been my official artist name for afew years by now* 👁👁fuc

speedyy, i hope the video is able to help
@@bluebiscuits it is thank you! Also I'm inlove with your artstyle!
Social media is just so stressfull to me lol for some reason my account is growing out of nowhere. I started getting engagement for drawings I posted like weeks before, it was jjk fanart LOL
Your from video got me started as an artist!
As for this video it will be useful for me, soon
I plan on doing more oc work
I have a lot of ideias in my brain and I just need to put them into work
For example
My main oc will be from the future, he loves stuff from the 20 and 21st centuries, he tried to create a time machine of his own to visit the past, but in the process he gained acess to different realities, when he travels to some universe, he takes control of an alternate version of himself, and absorbs their memories and personalities
Thats a fun concept for creating different versions of my main oc
Her accent makes it difficult to really understand and finish the video. I find myself keep rewatching every 10 sec 😂
you can turn on the captions…
Thank you for posting this! Been trying to revive my art acc but so much ahs changed lately
i think you could become a voice artist also so cute voice
Thia girl just draws hot guys and yk what... it slays
How Can i get my art into recommended to people on instagram?
Only with your videos i will finally sell commissions
Thanks for everything Bloo :D
(Ps. Sorry about my broken english)
Going from a video you made a year ago and then to this one the audio quality has improved so much !
i got a new mic XD
From my experience social media is basically total void
I can post anything anywhere and usually the result is radio silence
If it does get attention it cause algorithm made a mistake and the next hour it will all go to normal
So i see being an artist is one of the worst curse to have
Dont know if its imposter syndrome speaking or cyberpsychosis
Well, im just start posting my art. Well, its gonna be rollercoaster for my emotion.
Thanks for advice! This is my first time watching your video, please don't find it as negativity or criticism, but as a non native speaker at some moments it was a bit difficult to understand what you say due to speech unclarity ;-;
im sorry about that, i struggle with speaking a lot, ill try to be more clear in the future
How do you draw similar like your png’s? I like how simple and cute you keep it
its a very simple style, its very inspired by adventur time ! if you want feel free to use them as reference to learn the style :D
@@bluebiscuits Thanks🙏
