@mzarm's post on Artfol

hello. I need your help. I'm completely shattered. I have been drawing since 2017, I really like to draw, but over the years I have not found an audience. no one knows about me, no one has seen my art, I have never even dreamed of working in this field and earning money from drawing. I just wanted to...to be noticed by someone. hi, I'm Mzarm, I'm studying to be a teacher of law and economics, I draw and I'm from Russia. and I'd like to be noticed.May 8, 2021

hi
I really think that the most important is drawing for yourself. It’s difficult of course to get audience, and most of the time it’s discouraging, but if you like drawing, draw for yourself ! I said that because I lived this situation a lot of years ago in social networks, stressed and put pressure on myself to draw more, for more audience, you get audience and after you lose audience etc it’s an infinite loop and it’s tiring, and bad for the mental health. And one day I decided to stop this loop, and drawing for myself or for small fandoms, and I’m more happy of my art since this. Of course feedbacks are really cool and useful, also for sharing art, but don’t forget to draw for yourself after all 💖
Most sites have harsh algorithms that hide your art if you don't post regularly. Instagram is the worst place to have your art noticed, and Twitter isn't very good, either.

Do you interact often? The fastest way to get noticed on any site is to talk to people, interact with other people's art, make friends, draw fanart or gift art, etc.

If you join DeviantArt there is a feature where you can submit your drawings to groups to get them noticed even if you don't have many followers.
