@@duck_sandwich9967From my experience, it used to be DeviantArt but yeh after what happened to it, nope. Currently I am using Tumblr where I met a lot of great artists and mutuals, but I guess it depends on which fandom you're in.
Art Instagram is so bad fr, you'll get bullied if you have a unique style, and you'll get bullied if you draw a popular style, just non-stop bullying everywhere 😭 like is it really that hard to simply be respectful??😭
@@A_Shin3 this art racism thingy cant get on my mind, like how am i racist just because i drew someone with a slightly way too dark skin or by not knowing how to draw an afro
Your TikTok algorithm explanation makes so much sense. It’s kinda frustrating when people that follow me may not see my content again unless they actively search me.
This has been one of my biggest gripes for a while now, I noticed soon as I follow someone after seeing them contantly on my fyp, I would no longer see them again unless I go to my following tab like mentioned. That makes me want to follow people less these days because I want a mix of new content along with seeing content from who I'm following. Tiktok used to have a great balance at first but now the algorithm is terrible. I now also barely see art on my fyp, which now as an art content creator myself, it's extremely disheartening (especially when tiktok is the platform that's doing the best to get me exposure out of all the platforms I'm on T_T)
I’m turning 19 and the age thing SUCKS. I started drawing in 2021 but really started trying to improve in the middle of 2023,I feel like I haven’t gone anywhere and younger artists are skyrocketing. Feeling like I should be farther than I am while I haven’t put in enough work for it,but since I’m aging I should be better or I’m doing it for nothing. Pushing past the mindset is so difficult
My phone didn’t want to cooperate with me one day in march of 2022 and since then I kinda stopped and just doodled traditionally and didn’t really do anything past doodles but this year I plan to come back to digital art though yes I’ll have to relearn some things maybe even find a new app to use. explore. I wish you well
Hey, looks like we're in the same age AND have the same predicament. I feel like the world's passed me by as well, To be honest, there's not much I can give in terms of advice, but it's comforting to know you're not alone in feeling this way. What really matters in the end, you enjoy art. Da Vinci, Monet, Van Gogh, they all started late in life. Compared to them, we're young.
I get the sense that Tik Tok has lowered the “oh my god I should be x at y age!”. life is only just beginning at 19, 20+ We’re led to believe that everything jn life happens before we are 20 but this isn’t true, that’s an illusion sold to us by insta and tik tok I get really sad when young adults feel they have to fret about being too old, I think it’s gotten worse over the years cause of social media. I didn’t do anything with myself for years untill suddenly at 25 I got my shit together and did a full speed run getting a degree, a relationship, taking learning art seriously and starting a career in tech…I wasn’t too old for it then and I wouldn’t be too old for it now! (also all artists are currently struggling in the social media landscape because the platforms are terrible)
@@RedmondAlizarin19 isn’t later in life….it’s barely halfway through the first chapter…don’t stress about it. It’s not about the age you start but rather the journey beyond that point (my art isn’t great but I have bursts of improvement when I can be bothered to sit down and learn)
what still mildly infuriates me is how on my old account when I did try to make reels and stuff, the only thing to blow up was some drum cover of Come As You Are which I only recorded because someone asked me to and then I obviously got nothing out of it because I don´t make music content and nobody cared about the art lmfao

The main problem with all social media platforms are the people. Everyone is trying to out-do everyone else. It’s become so oversaturated with supposed “artists” trying to be art influencers instead of actual artists. I follow SO many artists on Instagram and so few of them really draw anything anymore. Instead they just makes reels complaining about lack of reach/views/followers/how terrible the “algorithm” is etc… There is no [Social] there is just media. Few people have real conversations with each other unless it’s self promotion or they feel it could benefit their own growth. I’ve been drawing for years - and I won’t lie, I don’t always have a perfect relationship with my art - but the creation of art comes before anything else in regards to my own social media account. I feel like so many people want to become artists without learning to love drawing first? It doesn’t matter how good you are at something if you hate doing it - and I don’t mean disliking the result - I mean the mark making. I find so much joy in just picking up a pencil and drawing lines and shapes and patterns and sometimes it turns into something else and sometimes it’s sparks an idea and sometimes it doesn’t. But that feeling of joy is what remains. And that’s what should always be important. But this overwhelming desire for popularity seems to overshadow the joy for creation - it’s the reason so many people turn to AI because they don’t care to make art, they just want the money and popularity that they expect a good artist to have… Also in answer to your question, I don’t think I have any weird food combos? Apparently having mayonnaise instead of ketchup with chips (aka fries) is a faux pas… I also sometimes just have vegetables and gravy as a meal because I hate cooking (anything that takes more than 15 minutes to prepare is a real chore). TL;DR Too bad, you need to learn to read, remember? 😂
We first and foremost need to appreciate your editing. Also, wanted to add that I’ve followed you on both TikTok and insta for a while and your tutorials/tips have helped SO much
I just hate people who underestimate my capability to draw according to my age. Just because I am fourteen to fifteen years old doesn't mean I lack the knowledge of my creativity and artistic view. And when u are ''old' according to the art-tok age group, that's a whole other issue. Thank u Viyaura for pointing out this issue! as an young artist I face many discrimination just for my age.
I’m a traditional artist and over the years it feels like the algorithms don’t care about traditional artists. Even when I do look up traditional art and scroll for hours later on my for you is still full of digital artists when that does not help me in the slightest. and you’re right artists are basically in influencers which is why I don’t post my art in like anymore anymore. Cause I genuinely started to hate making art cause I knew I would have to post it. Now I just make art for myself and maybe some friends and I enjoy it more. I don’t wanna be an artist who posts things I just wanna make
with the advent of AI “traditional” art as a label is going to start to encompass digital as well IMO since now we have to make the distinction between a person drew it vs a person smashed words on a keyboard
honestly the ageism of tiktok scares me, im turning 16 soon and i feel like 13 year olds are gonna call me old or something and say i have bad art for my age, because i know very well there is people out there who are younger than me and better at me in art, and a part of me is scared to post on tiktok feeling like ill get flooded with people calling my art ugly and bad for my age, i already want to stay up all night and practice endless amounts until im burnt out just thinking about it.
@@Para_topic that does not change much, the ageism is still there in the community, even if its not being said to me its being said to other people who are my age and thats enough to bring someone down, thanks for bringing me down more by telling me its not that deep and laughing at my face, truly what i needed, oh and by the way i dont put my age on the internet other than this small instance.
@@PumpyGT that is quite literally not possible, ageism is everywhere whether you like it or not, some magical platform where there isn't any does now exist, you saying this makes me think you never drew a day in your life and if that is true then why in the world are you trying to make a point that does not exist?
@@makoto-chan9457 Thing is youll find people bring people down for a shit ton of stupid things, Social media isnt for sensitive people. If it literally makes you stay up all night, dont use it, its just going to damage your mental health.
I get laughed at for watching TH-cam shorts and going on TH-cam instead of TH-cam but I have the perfect reason. I’ve watched a few videos and it’s already recommending me more of your videos it’s amazing 😍
Your talk discussion about age for me anyways felt so relatable. If you’re over 20 then forget it you’re just a zombie making art 🤣 me being 30 and on TikTok I felt insecure in many ways 😂 thankfully I haven’t gotten any sort of back lash on my age but I do feel like a grandpa on the site 👴
at some point you just gotta laugh it off cause what are you gonna do? fade into dust? they’ll soon be the “old” people anyway…the circle of life continues
I remember the art community used to be full of fun cool challenges like inktober or(insert ship name ) week ! Now you gotta worry about the art-style your using??? I hope that all artist finds their cute little community 🙏💗
I remember people acting exactly like this on tumblr ten years ago when I was a teenager 😅Chances are they'll look back and cringe just like we did! lol . Or maybe at 25 I'm just decrepit and have no business commenting about social media 😔anyway I like your style it's cute!
Bullying beginner artists for their drawings is like a teacher getting mad at a 1st grader for not knowing how to do long division. The 1st grader hasn’t even been taught how to do long division and being yelled at by the teacher isn’t even helping them learn how to do long division which is just like beginner artists being absolutely flamed in the comments for not putting the nose in the correct position instead of them learning where the nose is supposed to be to go.
Exactly! I'm in grade 6 and I learned long division when I was about 5 or 6 but there was never good teachers so I still struggle with long division. Kind of the same for art except I'm self taught and I don't do as much art as I used to but I'm still good at it. But I started at a very young age and I don't do it as much now so I'm scared others would say my art is bad for my age and for the amount of time I've been drawing.
Artists on TikTok stress me out. a few months ago I just wanted to join a small movement and I'm a traditional artist not digital so my art was kind of crappy and someone commented to me "you're not a real artist you're totally fake" without seeing my other art style
Thank you for the summary on the state of things on current art social media communities (or lack there of), I’ve been so out of the loop! I haven’t posted my work (outside of my website) to social media in 3+ years. During college, it was just so draining to fight the algorithm, and it became easy to conflate likes and engagement with my artistic talent and self worth. To anyone who thinks they ‘have’ to post their art to be successful, or to make it a career, it’s not always needed. I now work full time for a game studio as a game artist, and not once did they care or ask about any social media accounts I might have. If you want to be a ‘content creator’ or a commission artist, then social media can work, but it’s not the only option for you if you want to make it. Also, if you just want to post for fun, try to separate yourself/ the fun you get from it from the engagement, it will save your mental health in the long run.
Tbh, I’m drawing since I’m young but I never got into Art TikTok or insta reel things bc I’m so scared of being hated from them for absolutely no reason :,)) I sometimes want to share them but am to scared that for everyone else it’s too ugly. So this video is so real for me lmao and also ur so charismatic, I love the way you present these themes, it’s critical but also kind of lighthearted 😊😊
Man it really feels like everyone is stretching themselves thin mentally just to get a couple of people to look at their art. Its especially mentally taxing when you want to make it something that pays your bills (me rn 😭) theres so many platforms with completely different metas that we have to play at!!
I literally agree with you so much omfg. The problem with tik tok is that it’s flooded with immature teenagers (as well as instagram) and so instead of moving forward people prefers to pull people down first then move forward. It’s kinda hard to find rational people like you to be honest, but I’m glad good people are not dying out, so keep up the great work and don’t let amateurs ruin your confidence!
I think TH-cam is way more friendly towards artists on the shorts page compared to places like TikTok, my art gets actually seen on here! Also I’m not sure if it’s just me but I’ve been able to build a small little community on there people who have subscribed regularly leave little sweet comments it’s amazing, I haven’t experienced any bullying yet which is nice ❤
I clicked on this video by complete accident. I'm not even on TT or IG, but I definitely remember a lot of toxic behavior in the artist space from when I was on Twitter. I'm glad I watched all the way through because this video resonated with me a lot.
Honestly, I know u might think I’m late to this vid but I just watch your older videos when I’m bored!! Your channel is my absolute fav and I *always* love watching your new videos on Saturday mornings
I’ll admit i’ve been drawing for a very long time and my art is pretty mediocre which is a little embarrassing given my age however i’m not too hard on myself because the actual time spent productively learning wasn’t that much and I see improvement when I actually sit down and learn
Don't worry i'm the same but it's just that i don't have time or motivation to draw anymore, and i want it to be an easy hobby to do,not a homework that people will like.
Hi girl! I just wanna tell as a new subscriber that I really like both your art and storytelling style, and the girl avatar you use in your new videos is simple but cute and appealing so... good job! Keep up creating❤❤ (and jes you are funny 😉)
I was the 1k like and you have no idea how satisfying that is. Also great video, I’m a young artist and the thought that I might one day accidentally create a character that 12 year old girls on TikTok thirst over is enough to keep me off the app.
You have have said everything I wanted to! I appreciate your bravery for actually going through with it and trying to fix the problem. I also noticed the lack of creativity in the drawings being produced. For example, same women same men and same things in general. You are allowed to draw them but they do it too much. You touched on this but through art styles and content “farms” and I appreciate it. I wanted to express my thoughts and how I received the video. I’m glad you even mentioned how people are more drawn to “good” art because it’s aesthetically pleasing not because it has a distinct style. No I am not sayin group can draw like this I am saying good and bad art don’t exist. It’s just art isn’t art anymore. At this point I’m repeating you but again it’s been in my mind forever 😅 We shouldn’t be competitive but creative !
Honestly it’s just hard to grow my art on instagram if I somehow refuse to do reels. I just don’t feel like making them but since they’re popular I feel like I’d have to make some eventually just to get my artwork a bit more noticed
I am 25 turning 26 soon, and i just picked up drawing a few weeks ago learning the fundamentals perspective anatomy etc. I also dont really like social media overall because it promotes an unhealthy way of viewing yourself be it how you look or in this case how your art is perceived when it actuality i think 99% of people that started drawing probably did not start drawing with the intention to impress random human beings on the internet well atleast thats what i think anyway i will be drawing for aslong as its enjoyable to me. dont let random people bring you down because of your age or because of the way your art looks !
Hi Viyaura i want to tell u smth, i am drawing digitally and u really help me to learn the most shocking thing it's😅i started watching u yesterday and i kinda watched every single video you've made already😅
As someone who’s been on TikTok since 2019 (no I’m not proud of myself) everything you said is true‼️ people are so negative on that dumpster fire of an app 😭 it’s probably due to everyone on the app being 14 (I can say that I’m 14) and unhappy with themselves so they gotta project all that unhappiness onto someone else
Ima young artist on Pinterest and when I tell you I am SOSOSOSO glad I have friends and a little nice community who regularly comment on each others art!! I also have to keep reminding myself this is so damn rare on other apps so DAMN THANK YOU MY MOOTS 😭😭💗💗
petition to rename pixar-disney artstyle to what it really is,,,, sam's artstyle that everyone is inspired by. also the lack of community thing.. yea thats basically why we were having all those influencers who keep meet and greet's and basically no one shows up. fans arent fans anymore just people who liked your post and then forgot about it in the endless heap of tiktoks they watched that day
nowadays, i only really post my art when I feel like it and draw for myself all the time. i don't really care much for "growing my platform and making it my job", i just want to post my characters and if people like them then that's cool too. but it makes my day whenever someone comments something nice to me instead of it being another one of those strange bots
About the age thing, it’s stupid because even if you have been drawing from age 1 to 20 that does not mean you are automatically a pro. Everyone grows/ blooms differently?? pewdiepie for example drew for like 100 days and now he knows how to draw anime, I’ve been drawing for a long time but didn’t see much improvement until i became an adult. Everyone’s different and it depends on how you practice and what your goals and motivations are.
exactly! you can have years of marginal improvement but then suddenly you find the right course/resource/method and you have a burst of improvement. I did a 4 week perspective course and it took my understanding from 0 to good, same with a figure drawing class
Im 15, I have been drawing since I was 4, I have 10 years of experience, but honestly when I see younger artists that is better than me, I do get a little jealous. But that doesn't mean that I had to say something bad to them on the comment section Also, I put so much effort onto my drawings (6+ hours a day) and people never really care about that even my friends, that's why I HATE showing my arts on social media I've learned so much, yet people on TikTok does not care about that, they care about how godly other artists artwork
me, casually crawing through tumblr with flop post left and right but still knowing that one friend i convinced to get a tumblr account likes my drawings
in recent years what i noticed, A LOT of todays art community doesnt understand what art style is and its just becoming insanity. i got harrased on tik tok bcs at 20 after finishing art high school i draw in cartoony art style. like art style is how artist express themselves, i do can draw realism but i simply dont want to and this made so many people on tik tok blow up on me lmao also they were getting mad when i tried to explain whats art style
as a zombie drawing from the graveyard I'd say the art community should've sticked at deviantart or tumblr. i mean like yeah those platforms comes with their own set of problems but the average toxicity I've seen in instagram and tiktok is way more cruel than the ones in DA/tumblr
When it comes to art tbh, so far, the best place is twitter, yeah there’s drama every other week and if you haven’t been cancelled at least once are you even posting? But the people who love your art WILL love you and support you.
The second point applies to all of the tiktok community. I have seen many different people asking a very obvious question and i just want to say “please. READ!”
Real talk art station has some of the most talented artists I've ever seen, most are professionals whose work has inspired real growth in my work definitely recommend
What I like to do abt the bullying is say “can u draw that?” “Can you do better than that?” Also if ur telling someone to get a job, “do you have a job?
im a 13yo artist thats been drawing since i was 3 and i get COOKED by 15yo artists SO HARD bc my drawings arent good enough that i dont even post anymore and im STILL GETTING DMS ABOUT HOW MY ART SUCKS LIKE WHATT ELAVE ME ALONNWWW😭😭😭‼️‼️‼️ but like i only post my art in my friends discord server now lawl hashtag crying
TikTok recently started showing me art clips and about 90% of them are posts either shitting on someones art saying its "basic and easy" or posts from people having to refute AI claims because apparently everything anyone draws digitally is just AI on TikTok. People will literally show all their layers as well as do a timelapse but people still question if it's AI???
As a traditional artist, that deleted IG and most of the social medias that were too distracting. I found it too overwhelming as an artist. I don’t like digital art as my style revolves around traditional (painting, sculpting with clay). As a student still, seeing the art of my generation slowly die is quite sad. Everyone is focused on digital art and like AI art. No hate, but I really don’t like the use of AI. Just my perspective on how I see artists. BUT, I have my circle of artists that share similar views. Imma go do my own art now lol.
I’m traditional as well only because i find digital tok cumbersome. To be fair Digital is just a medium that requires the same skill set and I fee abs for artists who are primarily digital because the absurd “press button get art” misconception they’ve been getting for years js now acrually true so they are lumped in with AI keyboard mashers….
I used to draw for the sake of posting it so everything had to look perfect. That really was so stressful and just took the fun out of it for me until I finally realised why I even started drawing years ago. Now I’m drawing for myself again and if people don’t like it I’m cool with that, since I can’t make art that everyone will find good, that’s just not how it works
Dude. I saw someone draw a few lines of color and called it "art". Instantly they got millions of views and people said they liked it because it was "realistic." EXCUSE ME?? ITS JUST 5 STROKES OF COLOR??? WORST OF ALL, PEOPLE HATE ON MUCH HIGHER EFFORT STUFF AFTER!
I think complaining won't help lol. Art can be art even if you become a content creator, if you reach people and what you do is made with your hands, then it's art. People won't stop seeing a boring SpeedPaint like they used to do in 2016. Things have changed and we have to change with them, so accept it as what it is
You are very underrated it kinda sucks because you are very unique and your style is just glamorous but the algorithm doesn't think so🥲 just keep on that grind! You're working hard and I'm sure it'll pay off soon
art judging apps i know: twitter, tiktok, youtube, instagram not art judging apps i know: facebook (srs, i've been on facebook for years and ive never been judged)
Ive been drawing since kindergarten- I only was getting good once I was 7 😰 I’m improving rn but I feel like im more an editor rn, I dint feely have energy to practice drawing right now- but i love watching ur videos bcuz it gives me energy to actually post and inspo of drawing sometimes
Its sad some people are ageist, that's the saddest to my opinion. People think older people are better just because of age and if your like 10 like me, your automatically bad at art:( im not that bad😭
hey! 👋🏻 no hate but all of you are saluting incorrectly. 📚basic knowledge: there are 3 main styles of saluting including Army, Navy, and Air Force. in this case, all of you are attempting to do a Navy salute. ❗️to do a Navy salute correctly, ALWAYS use your RIGHT hand for any salute unless unable to. (ex: if you have no right arm, you may use your left hand) position your arm at a 90 degree angle and let your palm face down towards your shoulder without making your thumb visible. keep your hand leveled to the eyebrow and do NOT look around unless you’re done. (keep in mind this is a Navy salute, Army and Air Force has a different way)✅
I thought of a little saying to remind myself to stop comparing myself with other artists wether they are younger or older. It is only I who can create what my mind's eye can see Hopefully some other artists can find this helpful because it doesn’t matter what level of skill you have your art will always being very valuable because its only you who can create it
With the age thing its honestly annoying in general that people talk about their age at all, and sometimes I see younger artists bragging about their art and how young they are and I always feel so bad
Im 13 in a grade 9 art class I don’t want a die out or stop doing art so I just do eyeballs that according to my teacher creepy but PEOPLE HATE ON ME for not following trends it’s really annoying but then I do the trend AND I GET MORE HATE FOR FOLLOWING IT
I'm so sick of seeing other artists dogpiling artists because they don't like their art 🙄 There's already so much negativity coming from non artists, why are we spreading that?
if anything we should he giving tips and stuff. if they’re not doing a great job at shading we should say “here are some tips for shading! _____” not “ew what even is that shading?”
I swearr I can´t deal with people recommending to post on tiktok- I used to be on this platform once and it scared me, but now I´ll be at risk of getting bullied by children on top 😭😭
Well, thats confirms once more that I really do not want to post my art anywhere... (I do not use any social thingies except youtube [if that even counts])
I consider myself a video editor and artist. I started drawing before editing but I didn’t post my art until after I had a few edit accounts. This is useful in the sense that I know how to make a video that does well and I usually get 1K on instagram and TH-cam. On tiktok… I get hits once in awhile but mostly 250-500 views. I don’t understand TikTok. Btw titles are almost everything when it comes to TH-cam because that’s what gets people to click, and then your video is what should get people to stay
I had to stop drawing because I burnt myself out around 2020 (graduated with an AA in Arts, even in a community college it wore me out from my passion) and have been barely been sketching in the past year. Past year, because it would be months between picking up sketchbooks and actually putting pen to paper. I lost a piece of myself, lost some of those skills I spent 14+ years learning (counting from when I could hold a pen), and I'm finally coming back to completing *something* in 2024. Burnout hit me when the industry was changing in the extremes, and before we really used the term burnout. Even from a removed perspective, I could barely keep up. I tried for years to break through, it physically and mentally hurt to even set out my paints or hook up my digital tablet. I could be in the zone, sketching out something, excited enough to get my paints out, and then crash hard and be unable to do anything but sit there and stare at a piece I desperately want to complete yet can't. I was barely 22 when my love for art was swallowed by the academics, and I'm turning 26 soon. I know I'm still young, but art communities have been a scramble to find the youngest and most talented since I was barely a teen. We're allowed to grow older, we're allowed to grow up. It's been rough, especially with how social medias that artists helped build a community in turning sour and bullying. The online communities are so full of trends you feel like you have to follow, as well as bashing from anyone who don't seem to get that they can just scroll on. To be honest, if I had posted regularly and grew my following when I joined TT in that same 2020 year, my creative spirit wouldn't have survived. Well it would, I physically can't stop myself from making, but I definitely wouldn't have recovered well.
The editing of this video is so cool haha this is why I don't take posting on Instagram seriously, anyway I'm not that good at drawing for now, so I do like 3 wheels a year xd and leave it at that.
Being an SEA artist who still dwell in the ancient depth of Facebook and thriving, the youngins scares me.Also accoarding to tiktok I'm a walking bones huh
art feels so unfair sometimes, like if an artist drew 2 squares and a triangle people would pay hundreds just to see his "abstract art" and pay thousends to get it while if a 13 yr old kiddo drew the same painting he would get hated on and get comments like "baby" or "even a 7 yr old can draw better than you" when the only difference is popularity and abilities
Your videos are so polished!!! I can tell that you're still working on audio set up and that usually bothers me, but your editing its so good and funny that just made this so good!!! I love your channel now. Sub+++
As an "art baby" its hard to continue to build my account because I want to draw what I want but I also in a ways need to draw what the people want if I want more likes and interactions. The new instagram update where you can see how many people view your art, who interacts, etc. It hurts to see how Iam not apriciated and some of my likes are not being enjoyed by others in the same community as me.
to be honest, I'm doing fine on art instagram. I have like 430 followers and I try to post at least once a month, but I'm active on my stories and I do have a pretty different artstyle, but people don't really comment on it. It's more so that people like it because its different. But idk I do mostly traditional art and that attracts a whole different group of people your art. And I like to post about ocs too, although lately it's mostly been fanart, which once again attracts a certain group of people. So it's really just about finding your audience
These platforms just really aren't well designed for artists, they're foremost content farms.
Then what is
@@duck_sandwich9967From my experience, it used to be DeviantArt but yeh after what happened to it, nope. Currently I am using Tumblr where I met a lot of great artists and mutuals, but I guess it depends on which fandom you're in.

Where am i supposed to go now? 😭
Art Instagram is so bad fr, you'll get bullied if you have a unique style, and you'll get bullied if you draw a popular style, just non-stop bullying everywhere 😭 like is it really that hard to simply be respectful??😭
Not only that they’re gonna accuse you for being racist, made it in ai too

Honestly I have a rly small community of furry artists and haven’t run with these issues

I know I saw my channel antylicts or however you spell it like only 3% come back or maybe none it’s just new people
You're so right, the older you get the more people have expectations for your art. When people learn at their own paste.

My phone didn’t want to cooperate with me one day in march of 2022 and since then I kinda stopped and just doodled traditionally and didn’t really do anything past doodles but this year I plan to come back to digital art though yes I’ll have to relearn some things maybe even find a new app to use. explore. I wish you well
Hey, looks like we're in the same age AND have the same predicament. I feel like the world's passed me by as well,
To be honest, there's not much I can give in terms of advice, but it's comforting to know you're not alone in feeling this way.
What really matters in the end, you enjoy art. Da Vinci, Monet, Van Gogh, they all started late in life. Compared to them, we're young.
I get the sense that Tik Tok has lowered the “oh my god I should be x at y age!”. life is only just beginning at 19, 20+ We’re led to believe that everything jn life happens before we are 20 but this isn’t true, that’s an illusion sold to us by insta and tik tok I get really sad when young adults feel they have to fret about being too old, I think it’s gotten worse over the years cause of social media. I didn’t do anything with myself for years untill suddenly at 25 I got my shit together and did a full speed run getting a degree, a relationship, taking learning art seriously and starting a career in tech…I wasn’t too old for it then and I wouldn’t be too old for it now! (also all artists are currently struggling in the social media landscape because the platforms are terrible)
also everyone improves at diffrent speeds, the idea you should be a master before 21 is utterly absurd (and again blame the socials for that)
@@RedmondAlizarin19 isn’t later in life….it’s barely halfway through the first chapter…don’t stress about it. It’s not about the age you start but rather the journey beyond that point (my art isn’t great but I have bursts of improvement when I can be bothered to sit down and learn)
instagram do be doing photo artists really dirty and even the reels flop most of the time its crazy 😭
FR
what still mildly infuriates me is how on my old account when I did try to make reels and stuff, the only thing to blow up was some drum cover of Come As You Are which I only recorded because someone asked me to and then I obviously got nothing out of it because I don´t make music content and nobody cared about the art lmfao
As a photo artist I can confirm, insta absolutely despises us 💔
As someone who is 23 years old, I can confirm I’m making art from beyond the grave 🪦💀
Me too friend, me too
I’m in my 30’s and still learning…I am as eternal as the pyramids
As someone who is 13 years old, I can confirm I am making art whilst sipping baby formula❤
im 12 and everyone says “OMFG UR A BABY DO U DRAW PEPPA PIG??”
same 💀💀💀
Art shouldn’t be competitive, it should be fulfilling to the soul
I agree

You are so underrated !
And yes I agree 😔
thank you😭😭 stared at my screen for so long to edit it :')
Exactly like???
😭i was so confused i read “editing” as “ceiling” ugh
@@twotruckslyrics i think that proves her point that artists cant read lmao
The main problem with all social media platforms are the people. Everyone is trying to out-do everyone else. It’s become so oversaturated with supposed “artists” trying to be art influencers instead of actual artists. I follow SO many artists on Instagram and so few of them really draw anything anymore. Instead they just makes reels complaining about lack of reach/views/followers/how terrible the “algorithm” is etc… There is no [Social] there is just media. Few people have real conversations with each other unless it’s self promotion or they feel it could benefit their own growth.
I’ve been drawing for years - and I won’t lie, I don’t always have a perfect relationship with my art - but the creation of art comes before anything else in regards to my own social media account. I feel like so many people want to become artists without learning to love drawing first? It doesn’t matter how good you are at something if you hate doing it - and I don’t mean disliking the result - I mean the mark making.
I find so much joy in just picking up a pencil and drawing lines and shapes and patterns and sometimes it turns into something else and sometimes it’s sparks an idea and sometimes it doesn’t. But that feeling of joy is what remains. And that’s what should always be important. But this overwhelming desire for popularity seems to overshadow the joy for creation - it’s the reason so many people turn to AI because they don’t care to make art, they just want the money and popularity that they expect a good artist to have…
Also in answer to your question, I don’t think I have any weird food combos? Apparently having mayonnaise instead of ketchup with chips (aka fries) is a faux pas… I also sometimes just have vegetables and gravy as a meal because I hate cooking (anything that takes more than 15 minutes to prepare is a real chore).
TL;DR Too bad, you need to learn to read, remember? 😂
We first and foremost need to appreciate your editing. Also, wanted to add that I’ve followed you on both TikTok and insta for a while and your tutorials/tips have helped SO much
thank you so so much for your appreciation and support, you're a real one :')
I just hate people who underestimate my capability to draw according to my age. Just because I am fourteen to fifteen years old doesn't mean I lack the knowledge of my creativity and artistic view. And when u are ''old' according to the art-tok age group, that's a whole other issue. Thank u Viyaura for pointing out this issue! as an young artist I face many discrimination just for my age.
Dude art Instagram was so much fun back in 2019 or whenever, literally was so good for connecting with other artists 😢
I’m a traditional artist and over the years it feels like the algorithms don’t care about traditional artists. Even when I do look up traditional art and scroll for hours later on my for you is still full of digital artists when that does not help me in the slightest. and you’re right artists are basically in influencers which is why I don’t post my art in like anymore anymore. Cause I genuinely started to hate making art cause I knew I would have to post it. Now I just make art for myself and maybe some friends and I enjoy it more. I don’t wanna be an artist who posts things I just wanna make
with the advent of AI “traditional” art as a label is going to start to encompass digital as well IMO since now we have to make the distinction between a person drew it vs a person smashed words on a keyboard
honestly the ageism of tiktok scares me, im turning 16 soon and i feel like 13 year olds are gonna call me old or something and say i have bad art for my age, because i know very well there is people out there who are younger than me and better at me in art, and a part of me is scared to post on tiktok feeling like ill get flooded with people calling my art ugly and bad for my age, i already want to stay up all night and practice endless amounts until im burnt out just thinking about it.
Its not that deep if you dont want your age to be known don't put it on the internet 😂
@@Para_topic that does not change much, the ageism is still there in the community, even if its not being said to me its being said to other people who are my age and thats enough to bring someone down, thanks for bringing me down more by telling me its not that deep and laughing at my face, truly what i needed, oh and by the way i dont put my age on the internet other than this small instance.
Then don't post there, post somewhere else that doesn't yield the same ageism and bullshit as whatever platform you're using
@@PumpyGT that is quite literally not possible, ageism is everywhere whether you like it or not, some magical platform where there isn't any does now exist, you saying this makes me think you never drew a day in your life and if that is true then why in the world are you trying to make a point that does not exist?
@@makoto-chan9457 Thing is youll find people bring people down for a shit ton of stupid things, Social media isnt for sensitive people. If it literally makes you stay up all night, dont use it, its just going to damage your mental health.
I get laughed at for watching TH-cam shorts and going on TH-cam instead of TH-cam but I have the perfect reason.
I’ve watched a few videos and it’s already recommending me more of your videos it’s amazing 😍
thank you so much for your support!!
going on youtube instead of youtube?
Help 😭🤚
I meant TH-cam instead of TikTok
@@TheArtisticAxolotl lol
thats why im not posting my art anywhere ✨✨✨
Fr 😭😭 I feel like tumblrs the only safe space...
Your talk discussion about age for me anyways felt so relatable. If you’re over 20 then forget it you’re just a zombie making art 🤣 me being 30 and on TikTok I felt insecure in many ways 😂 thankfully I haven’t gotten any sort of back lash on my age but I do feel like a grandpa on the site 👴
You joined TH-cam the same year I was born lol
at some point you just gotta laugh it off cause what are you gonna do? fade into dust? they’ll soon be the “old” people anyway…the circle of life continues
I remember the art community used to be full of fun cool challenges like inktober or(insert ship name ) week ! Now you gotta worry about the art-style your using??? I hope that all artist finds their cute little community 🙏💗
I remember people acting exactly like this on tumblr ten years ago when I was a teenager 😅Chances are they'll look back and cringe just like we did! lol . Or maybe at 25 I'm just decrepit and have no business commenting about social media 😔anyway I like your style it's cute!
that drawing beyond the grave joke SENT ME, you just earned yourself another subscriber
Bullying beginner artists for their drawings is like a teacher getting mad at a 1st grader for not knowing how to do long division. The 1st grader hasn’t even been taught how to do long division and being yelled at by the teacher isn’t even helping them learn how to do long division which is just like beginner artists being absolutely flamed in the comments for not putting the nose in the correct position instead of them learning where the nose is supposed to be to go.
Exactly!
Exactly! I'm in grade 6 and I learned long division when I was about 5 or 6 but there was never good teachers so I still struggle with long division. Kind of the same for art except I'm self taught and I don't do as much art as I used to but I'm still good at it. But I started at a very young age and I don't do it as much now so I'm scared others would say my art is bad for my age and for the amount of time I've been drawing.
Artists on TikTok stress me out. a few months ago I just wanted to join a small movement and I'm a traditional artist not digital so my art was kind of crappy and someone commented to me "you're not a real artist you're totally fake" without seeing my other art style
Thank you for the summary on the state of things on current art social media communities (or lack there of), I’ve been so out of the loop!
I haven’t posted my work (outside of my website) to social media in 3+ years. During college, it was just so draining to fight the algorithm, and it became easy to conflate likes and engagement with my artistic talent and self worth. To anyone who thinks they ‘have’ to post their art to be successful, or to make it a career, it’s not always needed. I now work full time for a game studio as a game artist, and not once did they care or ask about any social media accounts I might have. If you want to be a ‘content creator’ or a commission artist, then social media can work, but it’s not the only option for you if you want to make it. Also, if you just want to post for fun, try to separate yourself/ the fun you get from it from the engagement, it will save your mental health in the long run.
Tbh, I’m drawing since I’m young but I never got into Art TikTok or insta reel things bc I’m so scared of being hated from them for absolutely no reason :,)) I sometimes want to share them but am to scared that for everyone else it’s too ugly. So this video is so real for me lmao and also ur so charismatic, I love the way you present these themes, it’s critical but also kind of lighthearted 😊😊
Man it really feels like everyone is stretching themselves thin mentally just to get a couple of people to look at their art. Its especially mentally taxing when you want to make it something that pays your bills (me rn 😭) theres so many platforms with completely different metas that we have to play at!!
I literally agree with you so much omfg.
The problem with tik tok is that it’s flooded with immature teenagers (as well as instagram) and so instead of moving forward people prefers to pull people down first then move forward.
It’s kinda hard to find rational people like you to be honest, but I’m glad good people are not dying out, so keep up the great work and don’t let amateurs ruin your confidence!
You’re really underated, my jaw dropped when I saw you have only 20k subscribers! Keep up the good work
thank you so much for your support!
I think TH-cam is way more friendly towards artists on the shorts page compared to places like TikTok, my art gets actually seen on here! Also I’m not sure if it’s just me but I’ve been able to build a small little community on there people who have subscribed regularly leave little sweet comments it’s amazing, I haven’t experienced any bullying yet which is nice ❤
I clicked on this video by complete accident. I'm not even on TT or IG, but I definitely remember a lot of toxic behavior in the artist space from when I was on Twitter. I'm glad I watched all the way through because this video resonated with me a lot.
Bullying is the only reason I only show my drawings to close friends and family.
Honestly, I know u might think I’m late to this vid but I just watch your older videos when I’m bored!! Your channel is my absolute fav and I *always* love watching your new videos on Saturday mornings
I’ll admit i’ve been drawing for a very long time and my art is pretty mediocre which is a little embarrassing given my age however i’m not too hard on myself because the actual time spent productively learning wasn’t that much and I see improvement when I actually sit down and learn
Don't worry i'm the same but it's just that i don't have time or motivation to draw anymore, and i want it to be an easy hobby to do,not a homework that people will like.
0:03 CHUUYA SPOTTED
It's so random 😂 I'm noticed it too though
4:32 Starember mentioned 😨😨 !? ( I’m an obsessed tgcf fan and the manhua ver was drawn by them 😍 )
Hi girl! I just wanna tell as a new subscriber that I really like both your art and storytelling style, and the girl avatar you use in your new videos is simple but cute and appealing so... good job! Keep up creating❤❤ (and jes you are funny 😉)
wow thank you so much for such a thoughtful comment, this absolutely made my day!! thank you :D
viyaura you drew that girl with the clothes melting or something like that potions???Wow I'm now a huge fan of you I'm subbing right now!
I was the 1k like and you have no idea how satisfying that is.
Also great video, I’m a young artist and the thought that I might one day accidentally create a character that 12 year old girls on TikTok thirst over is enough to keep me off the app.
You have have said everything I wanted to! I appreciate your bravery for actually going through with it and trying to fix the problem. I also noticed the lack of creativity in the drawings being produced. For example, same women same men and same things in general. You are allowed to draw them but they do it too much. You touched on this but through art styles and content “farms” and I appreciate it. I wanted to express my thoughts and how I received the video. I’m glad you even mentioned how people are more drawn to “good” art because it’s aesthetically pleasing not because it has a distinct style. No I am not sayin group can draw like this I am saying good and bad art don’t exist. It’s just art isn’t art anymore. At this point I’m repeating you but again it’s been in my mind forever 😅
We shouldn’t be competitive but creative !
Honestly it’s just hard to grow my art on instagram if I somehow refuse to do reels. I just don’t feel like making them but since they’re popular I feel like I’d have to make some eventually just to get my artwork a bit more noticed
I am 25 turning 26 soon, and i just picked up drawing a few weeks ago learning the fundamentals perspective anatomy etc. I also dont really like social media overall because it promotes an unhealthy way of viewing yourself be it how you look or in this case how your art is perceived when it actuality i think 99% of people that started drawing probably did not start drawing with the intention to impress random human beings on the internet well atleast thats what i think anyway i will be drawing for aslong as its enjoyable to me. dont let random people bring you down because of your age or because of the way your art looks !
Hi Viyaura i want to tell u smth, i am drawing digitally and u really help me to learn the most shocking thing it's😅i started watching u yesterday and i kinda watched every single video you've made already😅
As someone who’s been on TikTok since 2019 (no I’m not proud of myself) everything you said is true‼️ people are so negative on that dumpster fire of an app 😭 it’s probably due to everyone on the app being 14 (I can say that I’m 14) and unhappy with themselves so they gotta project all that unhappiness onto someone else
Tbh I think art youtube has the MOST KINDEST PEOPLE.❤
Ima young artist on Pinterest and when I tell you I am SOSOSOSO glad I have friends and a little nice community who regularly comment on each others art!! I also have to keep reminding myself this is so damn rare on other apps so DAMN THANK YOU MY MOOTS 😭😭💗💗
petition to rename pixar-disney artstyle to what it really is,,,, sam's artstyle that everyone is inspired by. also the lack of community thing.. yea thats basically why we were having all those influencers who keep meet and greet's and basically no one shows up. fans arent fans anymore just people who liked your post and then forgot about it in the endless heap of tiktoks they watched that day
nowadays, i only really post my art when I feel like it and draw for myself all the time. i don't really care much for "growing my platform and making it my job", i just want to post my characters and if people like them then that's cool too. but it makes my day whenever someone comments something nice to me instead of it being another one of those strange bots
I posted a video of my artwork on tiktok and the comments were filled of accusations that I whitewashed my own oc 😭😭😭
They sould make the dreamy sketch brush free so more people can interact with it and have the same good experince
2:04 somebody who is seen as a "artist" I can agree
About the age thing, it’s stupid because even if you have been drawing from age 1 to 20 that does not mean you are automatically a pro. Everyone grows/ blooms differently??
pewdiepie for example drew for like 100 days and now he knows how to draw anime, I’ve been drawing for a long time but didn’t see much improvement until i became an adult. Everyone’s different and it depends on how you practice and what your goals and motivations are.
exactly! you can have years of marginal improvement but then suddenly you find the right course/resource/method and you have a burst of improvement. I did a 4 week perspective course and it took my understanding from 0 to good, same with a figure drawing class
Im 15, I have been drawing since I was 4, I have 10 years of experience, but honestly when I see younger artists that is better than me, I do get a little jealous. But that doesn't mean that I had to say something bad to them on the comment section
Also, I put so much effort onto my drawings (6+ hours a day) and people never really care about that even my friends, that's why I HATE showing my arts on social media
I've learned so much, yet people on TikTok does not care about that, they care about how godly other artists artwork
me, casually crawing through tumblr with flop post left and right but still knowing that one friend i convinced to get a tumblr account likes my drawings
Omg i saw u on my fyp a few months ago! I really like ur art lol.
I like the pixel art style and its my style too
in recent years what i noticed, A LOT of todays art community doesnt understand what art style is and its just becoming insanity.
i got harrased on tik tok bcs at 20 after finishing art high school i draw in cartoony art style. like art style is how artist express themselves, i do can draw realism but i simply dont want to and this made so many people on tik tok blow up on me lmao also they were getting mad when i tried to explain whats art style
as a zombie drawing from the graveyard I'd say the art community should've sticked at deviantart or tumblr. i mean like yeah those platforms comes with their own set of problems but the average toxicity I've seen in instagram and tiktok is way more cruel than the ones in DA/tumblr
tumblr is one of the better ones but alas much like DA they’ve sold out to the AI beast
When it comes to art tbh, so far, the best place is twitter, yeah there’s drama every other week and if you haven’t been cancelled at least once are you even posting? But the people who love your art WILL love you and support you.
I just came across your channel, AND I’M COMPLETELY IN LOVE WITH YOUR CONTENT! Hope to see you in my recommendations soon
The second point applies to all of the tiktok community. I have seen many different people asking a very obvious question and i just want to say “please. READ!”
Real talk art station has some of the most talented artists I've ever seen, most are professionals whose work has inspired real growth in my work definitely recommend
What I like to do abt the bullying is say “can u draw that?” “Can you do better than that?” Also if ur telling someone to get a job, “do you have a job?
im a 13yo artist thats been drawing since i was 3 and i get COOKED by 15yo artists SO HARD bc my drawings arent good enough that i dont even post anymore and im STILL GETTING DMS ABOUT HOW MY ART SUCKS LIKE WHATT ELAVE ME ALONNWWW😭😭😭‼️‼️‼️ but like i only post my art in my friends discord server now lawl hashtag crying

TikTok recently started showing me art clips and about 90% of them are posts either shitting on someones art saying its "basic and easy" or posts from people having to refute AI claims because apparently everything anyone draws digitally is just AI on TikTok. People will literally show all their layers as well as do a timelapse but people still question if it's AI???
As a traditional artist, that deleted IG and most of the social medias that were too distracting. I found it too overwhelming as an artist. I don’t like digital art as my style revolves around traditional (painting, sculpting with clay). As a student still, seeing the art of my generation slowly die is quite sad. Everyone is focused on digital art and like AI art. No hate, but I really don’t like the use of AI. Just my perspective on how I see artists. BUT, I have my circle of artists that share similar views. Imma go do my own art now lol.
I’m traditional as well only because i find digital tok cumbersome. To be fair Digital is just a medium that requires the same skill set and I fee abs for artists who are primarily digital because the absurd “press button get art” misconception they’ve been getting for years js now acrually true so they are lumped in with AI keyboard mashers….
I used to draw for the sake of posting it so everything had to look perfect. That really was so stressful and just took the fun out of it for me until I finally realised why I even started drawing years ago. Now I’m drawing for myself again and if people don’t like it I’m cool with that, since I can’t make art that everyone will find good, that’s just not how it works
Dude. I saw someone draw a few lines of color and called it "art". Instantly they got millions of views and people said they liked it because it was "realistic." EXCUSE ME?? ITS JUST 5 STROKES OF COLOR??? WORST OF ALL, PEOPLE HATE ON MUCH HIGHER EFFORT STUFF AFTER!
social media will be the downfall of artists !!
I think complaining won't help lol. Art can be art even if you become a content creator, if you reach people and what you do is made with your hands, then it's art. People won't stop seeing a boring SpeedPaint like they used to do in 2016. Things have changed and we have to change with them, so accept it as what it is
You are very underrated it kinda sucks because you are very unique and your style is just glamorous but the algorithm doesn't think so🥲 just keep on that grind! You're working hard and I'm sure it'll pay off soon

Its sad some people are ageist, that's the saddest to my opinion. People think older people are better just because of age and if your like 10 like me, your automatically bad at art:( im not that bad😭
hey! 👋🏻 no hate but all of you are saluting incorrectly.
📚basic knowledge: there are 3 main styles of saluting including Army, Navy, and Air Force. in this case, all of you are attempting to do a Navy salute.
❗️to do a Navy salute correctly, ALWAYS use your RIGHT hand for any salute unless unable to. (ex: if you have no right arm, you may use your left hand) position your arm at a 90 degree angle and let your palm face down towards your shoulder without making your thumb visible. keep your hand leveled to the eyebrow and do NOT look around unless you’re done. (keep in mind this is a Navy salute, Army and Air Force has a different way)✅
I thought of a little saying to remind myself to stop comparing myself with other artists wether they are younger or older.
It is only I who can create what my mind's eye can see
Hopefully some other artists can find this helpful because it doesn’t matter what level of skill you have your art will always being very valuable because its only you who can create it
With the age thing its honestly annoying in general that people talk about their age at all, and sometimes I see younger artists bragging about their art and how young they are and I always feel so bad
Im 13 in a grade 9 art class I don’t want a die out or stop doing art so I just do eyeballs that according to my teacher creepy but PEOPLE HATE ON ME for not following trends it’s really annoying but then I do the trend AND I GET MORE HATE FOR FOLLOWING IT
I'm so sick of seeing other artists dogpiling artists because they don't like their art 🙄 There's already so much negativity coming from non artists, why are we spreading that?
if anything we should he giving tips and stuff. if they’re not doing a great job at shading we should say “here are some tips for shading! _____” not “ew what even is that shading?”
I swearr I can´t deal with people recommending to post on tiktok- I used to be on this platform once and it scared me, but now I´ll be at risk of getting bullied by children on top 😭😭
Well, thats confirms once more that I really do not want to post my art anywhere... (I do not use any social thingies except youtube [if that even counts])
Watching this reminded me that I can't do long division 💀
I consider myself a video editor and artist. I started drawing before editing but I didn’t post my art until after I had a few edit accounts. This is useful in the sense that I know how to make a video that does well and I usually get 1K on instagram and TH-cam. On tiktok… I get hits once in awhile but mostly 250-500 views. I don’t understand TikTok. Btw titles are almost everything when it comes to TH-cam because that’s what gets people to click, and then your video is what should get people to stay
I had to stop drawing because I burnt myself out around 2020 (graduated with an AA in Arts, even in a community college it wore me out from my passion) and have been barely been sketching in the past year. Past year, because it would be months between picking up sketchbooks and actually putting pen to paper. I lost a piece of myself, lost some of those skills I spent 14+ years learning (counting from when I could hold a pen), and I'm finally coming back to completing *something* in 2024. Burnout hit me when the industry was changing in the extremes, and before we really used the term burnout. Even from a removed perspective, I could barely keep up.
I tried for years to break through, it physically and mentally hurt to even set out my paints or hook up my digital tablet. I could be in the zone, sketching out something, excited enough to get my paints out, and then crash hard and be unable to do anything but sit there and stare at a piece I desperately want to complete yet can't. I was barely 22 when my love for art was swallowed by the academics, and I'm turning 26 soon. I know I'm still young, but art communities have been a scramble to find the youngest and most talented since I was barely a teen. We're allowed to grow older, we're allowed to grow up.
It's been rough, especially with how social medias that artists helped build a community in turning sour and bullying. The online communities are so full of trends you feel like you have to follow, as well as bashing from anyone who don't seem to get that they can just scroll on. To be honest, if I had posted regularly and grew my following when I joined TT in that same 2020 year, my creative spirit wouldn't have survived.
Well it would, I physically can't stop myself from making, but I definitely wouldn't have recovered well.
IM A BABY ARTIST?!? I’ve been drawing since 1st grade, I went from poorly drawn stick people to poorly drawn realism ☺️

I hate video editing i feel you :)
As a 10 year old artist i confirm the babies vs olds part
The editing of this video is so cool haha this is why I don't take posting on Instagram seriously, anyway I'm not that good at drawing for now, so I do like 3 wheels a year xd and leave it at that.
Being an SEA artist who still dwell in the ancient depth of Facebook and thriving, the youngins scares me.Also accoarding to tiktok I'm a walking bones huh
art feels so unfair sometimes, like if an artist drew 2 squares and a triangle people would pay hundreds just to see his "abstract art" and pay thousends to get it while if a 13 yr old kiddo drew the same painting he would get hated on and get comments like "baby" or "even a 7 yr old can draw better than you" when the only difference is popularity and abilities
Thank god I got bullied in my first tiktok like 4 years ago and never got into those sh1t gain
I am so tired. I gave up on my art. been drawing for 30 years, no cared or care and now this.
Your videos are so polished!!! I can tell that you're still working on audio set up and that usually bothers me, but your editing its so good and funny that just made this so good!!! I love your channel now. Sub+++
As an "art baby" its hard to continue to build my account because I want to draw what I want but I also in a ways need to draw what the people want if I want more likes and interactions. The new instagram update where you can see how many people view your art, who interacts, etc. It hurts to see how Iam not apriciated and some of my likes are not being enjoyed by others in the same community as me.
Aww what an adorable baby
Make a beware on your other account and start drama, that normally works
@@Para_topic Lmaooo might as well, I need any kind of attention app 💀
okay but the people who dont know how to read thing is so true i see it everywhere , even things that arent related to art tiktok 💀
to be honest, I'm doing fine on art instagram. I have like 430 followers and I try to post at least once a month, but I'm active on my stories and I do have a pretty different artstyle, but people don't really comment on it. It's more so that people like it because its different. But idk I do mostly traditional art and that attracts a whole different group of people your art. And I like to post about ocs too, although lately it's mostly been fanart, which once again attracts a certain group of people. So it's really just about finding your audience
