Do you post every piece of art that you create? How often do you make art without showing anyone at all?May 22, 2023

I tend to make a bunch of sketches that never see the light of day. mostly because they're on paper and look extremely messy and dirty (lots and lots of graphite smudges). The only things i post are the ones who go trough the entire process of digitalization every century or so
I don't post any at all.
It's all in a folder on my computer for myself only.
I like feeding my followers as much as I can
I try to keep some art for myself but I often do post it.
I post nearly everything I draw lol
I mostly just tend to post all the digital art I make, but sometimes there are some artworks I really don’t like that I don’t post—
what I draw is what I post (this is a very bad habit)
Usually the better sketches and almost always the final work. And training stuff too not posting
I mostly post art that I’m proud of
Everything goes up. If it touches the canvas it touches the net.
I think I post about 1/5 of my work to artfol
Nope, don't post everything, but mostly bc I don't finish it. The stuff I post is out here bc I refuse to work on it anymore 😆
I’ve got many sketchbooks full of doodles I don’t show anyone, and various little projects I don’t often share.
I post most of my finished drawings, but even those I sometimes skip
Nope, i only post those that i feel proud of and think that they gonna do well (and they didn't🤣). For the 2nd question, it kinda depends on who i show the drawings to (for example i don't show my arts to my family and friends).
I’d love to post all of my art really, from sketches to finished works!! The only art I wouldn’t want to post (on artfol specifically) really is my wips- HOWEVER, unfortunately uploading my work to any sites has become a chore that I more often than not forget. So I wind up prioritizing finished pieces because by the time I remember I have like six or seven done and I’m trying to space out my uploads 😭😂 super hype it seems artfol’s working on a scheduling feature on their roadmap!
No
Regular art stuff I'll post every one but half of my drawing is stuff for my project, so not all of it is posted bc of spoilers
Half my art sits with me or I destroyed it keeping just a photo or scan.
nope, some sketches are too sacred to unveil to the public
No I dont. Not on social media. Have started post it in my newsletter to get more people subscribing there instead
No not really. But I do post about 99% of all the artworks I make. The only ones that don't get to see the light of day are my traditional doodles (and I only draw traditionally like once in a blue moon), and some of my unfinished concept artworks (I say some cus sometimes I post the wips on my alt acc or on my Instagram story).

Loosely related, but even though I post almost all my artworks, I always post them days, weeks and even MONTHS after I draw them. This is because I keep telling myself that "I'll post this once I finish this other piece" and what happens is that I procrastinate on that piece and I just forget about posting the one I finished. I just physically cannot post a piece without having another extra artwork to post. Idk, I think it may stem from the fact that back then I used to finish a drawing in one day, work on another piece, I'd post the finished piece and then complete the other one, and ig this is my way to compensate because I am not as consistent anymore🥹
Yes to the first question. And for the 2nd one, it varies and depends on how many tasks I have to prioritize over art.
Depends on the art, I have lots of trouble showing personal projects, stuff that isn't fanart. Or anything that has a deep meaning for me, like vent art. Guess I don't want to scare people away. I'm trying to be less curated with my art, cause some of it I do want to share, so its a window into me, more personal, and true. I'm trying that now with my current project, its original, and so it's a bit harder to share. But, all is ok so far.
I don't post every piece I make. A lot of my doodles are stuck in my sketchbooks. I do post pretty much all my finished art. It's really just traditional doodles you never see, which is actually a decent chunk of what I draw.
