posting on socials is no different than gambling

>draw shit i like
>get single digit likes
>double on a good day
>one person comments
>have a back and fourth on shit we like
I made it

>>7648558
Same. Balling.

>>7648558
guy who comments and starts yapping back and forth about the shit I like is my greatest ally I will draw and die for you

Honestly, every time I've done FOTM I've gotten like 10k likes.

But it's boring as fuck, so no, don't do it regardless.

>>7648558
Most making-it mentality on /ic/ right now

>>7648516 (OP)
It may flop but if you don't update it will surely flop

>>7648516 (OP)
you probably missed the part where you need to have at least some skills and not be a low IQ begtard

>>7648558
This.

>>7648548
how do I gamble better

>>7650631
Invest more skill points in luck.

>>7650631
draw gooder maybe

>>7648558
king shit

>>7648558
You understand. This is the real definition of making it. Quality over quantity every time.

>>7648516 (OP)
dumbass doesnt even draw fotd's

>>7648558
Dear god... my knee is bending by itself...

>draw shit
>0 likes
>draw fotm or vtubers
>hundreds of likes but still no engagement
drawing for social media is demoralizing

This board has turned into Twitter

>>7654159
the idiot highschoolers and rich white business majors are out from school/opn vacation. they're shitting up everything they can.

>>7654159
I noticed this too. Too many fags type their posts like twits. Too much drama. Too many performative morality as of late. I guess it really is summer. Little retards with social media brain rot have too much time on their hands so they come here.

>>7648516 (OP)
How do you know what the flavor of the month is?


>T. Fag in his 20s who checked out of society irl and online long ago.

>>7655053
if you're checked out then why bother with social media at all
if you're going to be an outcast, do it properly

>be op
>go into twitter just to discover a new trend
>draw this new character everyones is drawing
>in top of poor skills is the character standing in a white void or """""""""""sexy""""""""""" because knowing the source or even the jokes from it is a crime for him
>flops
>"geez anons, i guess drawing the flavor of the month dosnt work"

retards like you who dosnt have passion for their craft deserve to see every piece die in a pile of work from similar retards

>>7655053
I would like to know this too. I'd like to start posting on twitter eventually and i have no idea what to make fanart of. My only hobby is drawing idk what people want to see

>>7654134
That's just the consequences of doom scrolling
People literally just swipe, hit like on thing and keep swiping
>vtubers
literally all activity is bots
I'd stay away from that shit if i were you

>>7655358
have you tried...drawing what you like...

>>7655053
oh my gawd anon(ymous) you're so cool and interesting for pretending you don't know how people discover things nowadays. Please fuck my tight bu$$y.

>>7648558
Apologies but this is my first wojak in at least 5 years

>>7648516 (OP)
Why would you ever draw something you don't actually want to draw?
Trendchasing fucks confuse me.

>draw my autistic oc donutsteel worldbuilding bs and post it on my deviant art gallery
>some random person starts asking questions about my setting and designs in multiple images
>I answer each, often giving quite long and elaborate answers that explain both the lore and my thought processes when it comes to the stuff I've drawn.
>he asks follow up questions, often multiple times leading to long reply chains where I explain more and more about my autistic world to him.
>he's been doing this for few months, even checking up on my gallery with comments regarding if I am doing well when I have a lul in posting stuff.

Out of all of the likes, badges and even complimentary comments, it is this type of person and his questions I value the most. This eager engagment with my autism motivates me to draw more.

>>7648516 (OP)
it flops because your art sucks and you have no brand identity. You don't draw fotm to fit your target audience, you just draw it hoping it will be successful.
hope that helps

>>7659558
this
I draw fotm sometimes, but only if it's something I actually want to draw. I don't just draw the new thing because it's the new thing.

>>7659593
I wish I had more followers like this. Each of them is easily worth 10,000 likes but they never say or do anything. A real connection is worth its weight in gold.

>>7648558
>>7659593
stuff like this as embarassing as it may be as the commenter, is why I love making comments on peoples stuff especially if no one else has. I know getting a comment makes them really happy and opens the opportunity for them to yap about their stuff

when you know that artist is getting followers much faster than you because she's a girl but you can't prove

I can't draw something I know nothing about, fuck me I guess.

>>7648516 (OP)
And your regular art doesn't flop?
