It doesn't matter how skilled you are, all you have to do is entertain people if you want people to like your art.

>>7639414 (OP)
k ... keep me posted

it matters

idk im not very entertained

>>7639414 (OP)
You have to make Coomers small dick hard.
It's that easy, if you can make them go "ooga booga" then you're set, just look at Derpixon.

>>7639414 (OP)
What do you mean, anon? I actually have to make things people like or they won't like it?

>>7639509
who cares on what you find "entertaining", this isn't about you faggot, but to the majority of people.

>>7639414 (OP)
But i want to be the next whatever deviant art top anime artist is called

>>7639414 (OP)
>all you have to do is entertain people
I am starting to feel like everyone else somehow got the "entertain" skill but me.

Same man, Im not a fucking showman, Im a dude that operates from the shadows, I dont want to act like a clown to get people to look at me.

>>7639414 (OP)
entertaining people is for clowns

This but unironically and with a zweihander.

Depends a little on your target audience I guess but yes I absolutely agree that appeal often holds more weight than raw technical skill when it comes to growing a following. Too many, myself included, tend to get stuck in the "it needs to be perfect on every level" stage and rarely if ever end up putting their work out there. I sometimes feel a tinge of jealosy when looking at works from artists with lower skill level than mine because they have the courage to show their creations, but more recently I've felt actually happy for them or any drawfags I come across that clearly enjoy what they do despite their lack of skill. And that is an important part of entertaining and therefore growing an audience, your own genuine enjoyment.

>not choosing the kuromi one
what a fag

Shadman proved your theory back in 2011 and Khyleri proves it in the 2020s.

Positive feedback helps a lot, when I post my art on Newgrounds I get destroyed by trolls, but when I post it here I get compliment despite you guys being assholes 99.9% of the time.

maybe for you or for your art goals. I seek perfection myself.

NGMI mindset

Ok but this doesnt mean you have to specifically CATER to people (or even worse, RETARDED COOMERS). Art is just another vehicle for telling a story. I think everyone’s always open to hearing a good story. Draw something engaging and compelling you fucking retard or lose yourself to just drawing what people want to CUM TO. Just be ready to admit youre uninspired and stupid and move on if this is thats path you choose

>>7639414 (OP)
why is it that i can tell that you haven't drawn in the past three days

>>7640608
you don't need to draw nsfw to be a hack. plenty of lackluster "meme" artists. you do seem to seethe at nsfw tho

Yes, if you want mass appeal having technical skill in itself is not enough. We live in the age of moving pictures anon, the only freaks who enjoys looking at artwork digitally for technical skill are other artists.That's why the majority of people don't know who- Ruan Jia is but knows Jazza. It's always been about entertainment and aesthetics.

My bad nswf seemed to be the running theme with OP. Fuck the meme artists too!

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, MONTRESOR!

Too bad, art is and always has been about entertaining people. It's only in the past 150 years that "commercial art" became a thing, where someone pays you just because they need empty space filled due to it making their product sell better or business more welcoming, but that's a historical anomaly.

>>7639414 (OP)
You're right. Art is not that important, I mean just look at Andy and Leyley or Slay the Princess art.
