    Art takes time. Not everyone can draw every day or every week.

    • @QuailFare
      @QuailFare 4 года назад +499

      Yeahh ^^^^^. I feel like instagram is not for a LOT of artists. And so much of it is just "Draw fanart with the fan hashtags, and even if it's not good you'll still get a crap load of followers saying you ARE good." That doesn't seem conducive to getting better...
      Drawing what you like almost gets you nowhere usually, unless it's what everyone else likes too. :/
      A posting schedule is so extreme to me.... I'm gonna take my good old time and enjoy the process--not do it for the immediate reward of meaningless likes.

    • @seabedrock
      @seabedrock 4 года назад +292

      Instead of drawing everyday, you can just post updates of your works like WIPS and stuff. You don't need to draw everyday (although that's a great practice), you just have to be active everyday.

    Artists are trying their best to impress people using their art, but even if they try quite unusul and creative way to express, still rarely anyone gets interested and that's kinda sad. An artist puts everything in his art, but sadly gets easily broken after realising that no one appreciates their work. I create sculptures using scrapes and different materials and its also hard to shape your ideas with them. Since it's a new way of expressing only a few likes i get and that's makes me really let down. I know that many of you guys feel the same.

    I really feel sad when I post an artwork that I’ve worked for hours gets a small number of likes. Even if I put a lot of hashtags, it never receive the recognition it deserves. There’s one time I almost give up on drawing artworks because they receive small likes.
    Now, when I post artworks on Instagram or Twitter, I turn off the notifications so I won’t get disappointed. I just moved on from it and hoping that some day, all of these artworks will get recognized by the world.

      The Instagram Algorithm got messed up; do not be too hard on yourself. Also all these famous manga artists do not even have Instagram. We draw because we love it or to entertain others; not to impress others or to get more likes than others.

  • @sarahbabybee396
    @sarahbabybee396 3 года назад +19

    At one point... I just started asking myself... am I drawing because I love to draw, create an artwork and feel that sense of happiness I felt as a kid or am I drawing because I want likes, I want many followers and I want to be 'known' ..... and that made me really not want to draw anymore because I would get disheartened at the smallest things. So I took like a one month break and now I just started posting again on my Instagram and ofcourse that thought of 'is it getting likes' still remains in my head but I tell myself that I DRAW because I LOVE the FEELING of it 🤍 because I do.

      I get your feeling allot....i myself have been drawing for years and i rarely post very consistant....its been over 4 years of posting and ive got over 3.5k followers and then after awhile i got busy with homework and exams for college entry for a year my followers dropped to 2.4k....personally i dont think my art is bad i jus think insta doesnt really cooperate. Some people just draw doodles constantly and post....they got over 10k when their art is not that good. The thing about insta is constant posting.....i have a friend, he does digital art....he startted posting allot from march 9...he had 1.2k followers already at that time...he posted 1 pic in every 1 to 3 days and gets only 100 to 300 likes....and recently at may....all his posts got over 1k to 5k likes and his followers grew about 100 in 2 days....ofc his content was compatible ......so im starting to do that too.

      *Do not draw for followers. Draw for yourself.*
      When I was 15 I was obsessed with Instagram.
      I used to draw just for followers and I drew too fast... so fast that my drawings were absolutely *wrong.*
      I used to watch my followers number every morning, every single time. But one day I *realized* that all of this was a *sick* theory. I was *not happy* with my works, I really _hated_ them. So *I started drawing for myself.*
      *Now...*
      I don't want to take photo to my sketches, cause it's useless.
      I need my sketches to grow up with my style, not with followers. And now I don't want to be followed for nothing.
      I think my art express something, and I'd like people can feel that, just this. I don't want to be famous, just be understood.

      You have to draw every day, you have to become fast at your work. Disney artists can make a panel of art in 40 minutes, i say that not to discourage you or to feel lesser, but to push you and inspire you! If they can do it, keep working at it and I’m confident you’ll make it there.

    I have decided not to use Instagram for followers, but to see my own improvement. I look at it as a place where I can store my drawings, and look at my improvement and my old drawings, comparing them to the new ones. I like to look at my art, but I can't take out my drawings every day, so this is pretty useful.

      *Do not draw for followers. Draw for yourself.*
      When I was 15 I was obsessed with Instagram.
      I used to draw just for followers and I drew too fast... so fast that my drawings were absolutely *wrong.*
      I used to watch my followers number every morning, every single time. But one day I *realized* that all of this was a *sick* theory. I was *not happy* with my works, I really _hated_ them. So *I started drawing for myself.*
      *Now...*
      I don't want to take photo to my sketches, cause it's useless.
      I need my sketches to grow up with my style, not with followers. And now I don't want to be followed for nothing.
      I think my art express something, and I'd like people can feel that, just this. I don't want to be famous, just be understood.
      (Sorry for my bad english)

    a recap:
    -make a schedule when to post
    - draw fanarts; it'll help u get noticed by bigger audiences
    - be consistent (post often)
    - engagement! try to interact w ur followers (comments, likes within the 1st hour of posting)
    - post at the right time
    - switch to a business acc (lets u see stats of ur acc n followers, etc)
    - post only art! - artists who post too many personal phtos can discourage followers
    -post on your story (this is where u can post ur personal photos like behind the scenes and what ur up to)
    -draw what u love (but maintain a balance)
    - participate in art challenges! get more involved
    - use hashtags
    -ig favors videos like bts of progress and stuff
    - be patient! it'll take time; the ig algorithm is rly weird so just focus on growing instead of gaining a lot of followers ✨

    I started my art account in august this year. I started doing fan arts and my fan account grew too much too fast. I reached 1k in two months but then when i changed my account into a normal art account instead of fan account my account stopped growing for a while. I would recommend people to get to know artists because that kinda helps you join the artist community instead of the art community.

      ​@@nguyenlethuylinh6544 I took a look at your acc, and yeah, your drawings are not skilled, low quality (it's not because they are colourful and have some basic ideas so it means they're skilled. There is many structural problems etc; it's easy to see that you're at a "beginner" stage through your skills and ideas) I think the problem here, more than skills, it's also because most of them are boring or not striking. There are plenty of people doing what you do, but in a way better way. That probably explain why everybody still ignore you. Of course there are other minors parameters.
      I know it's harsh, but i'm just being honest here.

    I’m wondering why I tend to see artists on Instagram restart their account w a new one? I’m not sure if it’s because of the algorithm or personal reasons?

    I feel the advice is helpful, but it is so much harder now in 2023. The algorithm is not in the favor of the smaller accounts. I used Instagram for years and before I would run into small accounts more often. Now my "for you" page is entirely large accounts, that is all it shows me! Only large accountS of 30K and up.
    I like to support the smaller artists and to do this I pick a hashtag and I scroll forever until I start to get the smaller account. Its ridiculous!

    I noticed that only the artists who are already popular are saying that "oh followers and likes don't matter, draw whenever you want"
    But they've already gotten far
    I feel like that's why they're so confident while saying that
    I'm not saying they're wrong
    They are right
    You shouldn't care about likes and followers
    But it's actually very hard to not care
    Because likes and follows means that your art is getting recognised
    And that's one of the main reasons you are sharing your art
    To get recognition
    So it makes me kinda sad and annoyed when they say that kinda thing
