I started in 2019 sharing on Instagram , at first it was for a Saturday program and I wanted to keep in touch with this girl I liked, but then it slowly turned into a safe place we’re I could post my crappy art lol, now I use it professionally as a online portfolio and I still do post art. Just not as often.
•
Originally did it because I wanted to be like the other big social media artists. Now I just like posting whatever I make
•
That’s easy. I’m an attention whore, so once the opportunity presented itself, I posted. First on Google plus, I think
•
•So people would mercilessly criticise it, tell me I suck and therefore could use the spite to become a better artist.
•
I did so for a very long time ! It was to share my passion for drawing and writing stories ! And I still try my best at doing so even if introversion don't help ˆˆ'
•
Ohh i only shared my art with my friends that followed me :D and then i made an art account:DdDdDd
•
•Always have pretty much since 05. I've been drawing all my life but once I heard about art websites I was immediately sharing. It's nice to get people to see my stuff :D

It started with deviantart back in its golden era, stupidest idea I ever had because this didn't did well for my 12 year old self with no skills and dreams of grandeur.
Still it was through deviantart that I learned lots of useful stuff that I discovered lots of useful resources that later(after I had decided it was ok to suck at art) in my artistic journey.

Always done so, waaay back during the height of DA, i mainly did it so I can keep track of of my progress, still do now but I don't post as much cause I'm too busy and the stuff I'm working with, i cannot post (:
•
My friends were doing it, and I wanted to connect with them. This was back in like 2009 
I’ve since stopped posting, I don’t really get anything out of it anymore.

I loved reading comics when I was younger so I started making my own drawing and building a portfolio so I could present them to Stan Lee 
I was such a stupid little kid, but hey, without that dumb idea, I wouldn't be where I am now :)

I was imagining a fantasy world where I posted my art and immediately made tons of friends and popularity online :D
And then I actually did it and it did not happen

When I was younger the artists I really admired were all online so I guess just wanted to be like them and share my stuff like they did :)
