WHAT SEPARATES POPULAR ARTISTS FROM THE REST! [How to Get Your Art NOTICED FINALLY] 

"you need to make sure that you're grounded" time to go swear at my mom

“Don’t draw fanart for stuff you don’t enjoy to get popular.” The six fanarts trend: so anyway....

When you're unpopular, every new follower is making them feel hopeful everyday that they're gonna step on a new level.

another tip: do some “draw this in your style” stuff!! some artists will re post the art to their story, and if they have a somewhat large following, people will see your art and if they like it they’ll even give you a follow :) ((ONLY re draw art if it’s a draw this in your style post, if it isn’t one, never do that))

What really separates popular artist from the rest is the *TIMEZONE*

What seperates popular artist from the rest? Me: Popularity.

Me: is inactive for 2 weeks Me: gains 6 followers Me: posts Me: loses 9 followers Me: 😑

Lavender: you won't get famous just on being good at art. Me: and here i am wasting my time.

me: posts art also me: puts no tags at all me: *stonks*

so all those renaissance painters got their popularity because they painted bible fanart

“Don’t put memes, put ur art.” *but i saw art ppl on insta posting memes too but r still gettin atleast 100k followers*

“You should try having a consistent style” ... GIRL IVE BEEN TRYING FOR YEARS 😂😩

Having a voice on the internet is not like screaming into a void. It's like screaming into a crowd that's way over the room capacity where some people are pushing and shoving; some are robots, some have megaphones, some have surround sound microphones, and some just have a new thing that megaphone/microphones take interest in.

I know a lot of unpopular artist that are better than some popular ones

Perks of being unpopular, you'll see reappearing faces very often in your posts and you can even form friendships with them. Sometimes, it feels slightly more special than being popular.

The feeling when a "popular" artist will draw a simple line and gets thousands of likes and comments about "this amazing cute, adorable, perfect line" and you draw hours and hours to a realistic piece and you get about 10 likes and probably any comment.

**Draws the universe and only gets 1 like**

How to be popular on RU-vid! 1. *Don’t.*

What i noticed from instagram is that the algorithm is more biased towards fanarts lol

One of my least favorite stuff is when people lie about how much time they took on a drawing, just to get attention, the time really does not matter! What matters is how your art it.

* does all these steps * * remains ignored and unnoticed * *”Guess I’ll die”*

Notice me, senpai.

This fucks with you emotionally and psychologically. Especially when you grew up in a very toxic environment that never really gave you that much support.

Twitter should implement a "choose thumbnail" option

I have two Instagram followers!! yay.

So for the fanart part. I’ve seen people draw fanart for this one show. When the artist doesn’t draw fanart, they usually have 1k likes instead of 4k likes dorm the fanart they post. When the artist stops drawing fanart, they just get less then 1k likes and they just lose followers. It’s really upsetting for the artist since not many people follow them for their art, instead, people follow for fanart and not want to follow for their original art.

My highest liked art has 57 likes and over like 200 views but I still feel incredibly happy that more people than my family likes my art, it boosted my self esteem to see people saying it was really good. I was surprised to see some people actually liking my art

2:45 do you see me? I’m the one on the left holding my one and only like. That like was from myself.

Yes, I 100% agree with this! A huge thing for me was not giving up. It took me 6 years to get to where I am. Consistency is key! Thanks for posting this! 🤠

Thank you SO SO much for using our music in here!!

Call me egotistical but I have no intention of drawing fanart to gain a following. My ultimate goal as an artist is to improve as an artist and draw my own work, not walk in the shadows cast by other artists.

Important reminder: Post your art for yourself. even if you have low following and barely any engagement that does not matter, your happiness is most important. do not let low numbers discourage you from posting your artwork x3

One important thing to do is to have low expectations to never be disappointed.

Step one: Don't have ADHD Step two: Don't change interests / hyperfixations, people hate that Step two-part 2: DO FANART! Do whats hot now! Step three: Draw and upload every day Step four: Get so exhausted bending to the will of others Step five: Feel worthless because you cant be like all the other artists Step six: Realize you cant continue on this toxic path Step seven: Begin with recovery of the self hate and worthlessness you formed trying to be like everyone else Step eight: Push self validation up, accept you're not going to be able to live to the standards of others but are very grateful for the attention you do currently get Step nine: Draw what you want and love it, love the progress you're making Step ten: Continuously go through cycles of love / hate towards yourself and your art because recovery aint linier

LavenderTowne: *so let’s get started-* Ad: *Boss music*

"How to get your art noticed..." *Post a video about how to get your art noticed*

I have like 100 and something followers on my art instagram and the other day I posted a drawing of Toga from My Hero Academia and some sweet ANGEL! said 'Sis honestly you deserve more followers' and I actually cried cause that made me a bit TOO happy

So, -focus on the art. -see your page like a newcomer. -use tags and fanart to get people to check what you do. -respect is important. -DO NOT beg for attention. -No comparing yourself with other artists. And most of all, -Consistancy and Patience. Great video Lav!

Me in twitter: *Posts an art* now just wait for appreciation...* *4weeks later* *Gets 1 like* Me:Oh...-- Me:well for the art be appreciated it need to get around the twitter! *2 months later:* *N o t h i n g* Me:;-;

“Make sure that you’re grounded” *breaks plate mom only used once*

Really well put together video, lots of good advice! Thanks for sharing :)

“stylistic consistency” Welp thats it for me then

This is going to sound angry but skill isn’t important anymore 🤷🏽‍♀️. If people identify with it even if it’s a stupid little doodle if people have an emotional connection with its going to go viral. Also the algorithm favors more popular artists for obvious reason

Since im unpopular I appreciate everything people say about my art

Ah yes I understand now *Overloads on fanart*

"Everyone and their mom has an instagram" This couldn't be truer.

nah skills means nothing. there are people with seemingly broken hands that are popular and gods among men that are left in the dust for some reason. and that's a SAD FACT!

Sometimes it’s rlly just luck that some artists get noticed, it’s not just because their art is “good enough.”Likes don’t define art quality.

Lavender: everyone one and their mom has instagram Me: and their cats and their dogs and their axolotl AND AN EGG

Here's the thing. Maybe I'm just selfish or whatever... but I actually LIKE my art. I want to show people my art but I feel weird saying "look at this thing I made, it looks so good" it just feels so narcissistic. But saying "omg look at this it looks so bad" is just completely not what I actually think. So what do I say..... nothing??

Man when I was in my early high school days my art was totally freaking garbage and somehow I gained a ton of popularity- the anatomy was absolutely atrocious, the colours were all over he place, there just wasn’t much good about it at all. Once I started improving and my art was actually decent, it completely dried up and I have never been able to get that back

Me: *draws a fan art of Joseph Joestar from JJBA and also ends up liking it* "wow! Thats really nice looking fan art, hope other people will like it too!" *Posts the art on instagram and puts hashtags on it* The post: *gets only 5 likes* Me: 😐

I usually just stop uploading my art on Deviantart or Facebook and shutdown. Sometimes I go weeks without drawing; This video helps, a lot and I do believe that this will help others. Anyways, have a good day, I love your content.

Sadly on deviantart the good art gets overridden by fetish p*rn and that kind of stuff. Nobody even sees my art, but that doesn't stop me from improving I guess Keep up the good work my fellow artists, you deserve to be noticed one day❤

I am unfortunately guilty of wanting to be popular like this. Ever since I was a kid, I dreamt of being popular. I was quiet, but well liked by a fair amount of people. But I was very visually imaginative, and had many fantasies. I daydreamed often, and I used those to fuel my drawings. But I don’t know what it is that has happened to me in my childhood. Because, I realize that every time I see popular artists on Instagram, i just feel a little hurt. I had never cared to that extent before, but I realize it’s been coming out in the past several years. Everyone keeps saying that to try to be more unique. I try to be creative, to be more unique. But it’s actually harder than it is. I feel like I don’t know where to start, or where to get ideas. Because everyone had already done them. I’m just sick of being a nobody for so long. When can I be like that?” Of course in reality, it’s also a competition. But thing is, I don’t want to become greedy and competitive. I just want to earn attention in the most honest ways possible. I know that it’s unhealthy to think like this. As a Adult woman, I’m still trying to work on this to not feel this way. But sometimes whenever I look at popular RU-vidrs and Artists, it’s hard to not think “Wow...they have so much fun. They got everything together in their lives, and everyone loves them. I wish I could be like them. Fans even draw free fanart for them.” And for the friends of those popular RU-vidrs/artists, it’s like a little group where they draw their friends free requests. I apologize for the long rant. But I wanted to vent this out, because I don’t know who to vent to. Forgive me if I come across as Jealous or ‘Salty’. I truly don’t mean that. Some times, it’s just hard.

9:34 coincidentally there’s a sailor moon redraw going on and it helped some artists

Honestly; I feel like the only thing really I haven’t done in this list is the thumbnails- I’ll start doing that from now on! But the others.... I’ve been on insta for a year now and been doing these on the regular. Let’s be honest: it’s all about how good your art is and LUCK. You can’t grow if your fan art isn’t good enough for people to care about :/ harsh truth coming from someone at the bottom, not the top

Fanart for SMALL FANDOMS

As an artist it's even harder to earn people's respect for their art. I had a phase where I just drew "how to train your dragon" art and got over 20+ likes (I am a rather small account) 👀 and I felt confident that people like my art, so I finally got out of the phase and just started of doing my own personal art and just got like 10+ likes. I am still doing fanart sometimes, but people don’t comment, or don’t give it any attention for what I did. I know it's not that important to get the likes or earn followers, but I would love if somebody would just criticize my art in an informative way so I can improve easier... ~Doing art is hard~

Honestly she's so sweet and kind and encouraging and honest... she's giving helpful tips while being realistic and yet not overly pessimistic and teaching younger people that it's good to be true to yourself and not to get caught up in the dark sides of internet popularity. I really love her bc she's so genuine and good.

Actually, the fan art one. Your right! Jaiden animations done fan art for ihascupcake they noticed her and asked jaiden to make animation for their videos! And that’s when jaiden started!

My version: #1 Have an enjoyable personality #2 Post art as much as possible to make opportunities to be seen #3 Draw things you like and not care about popularity Popularity isn't a formula. It just comes to you due to people enjoying your content and sharing it with their friends.

How to get famous when you live in the middle of nowhere: post your art Considering where most people live on RU-vid, Instagram, Twitter etc etc Which Basically means posts your art at midnight onwards

I have a fan account since July 2019 and I realized how hard is growing up and get followers but I still do it because I love run it, and it helped me to see how to get your own style, being creative and still doing it because you love it and not because of your followers number, my account was even deleted in December and I had to start again but I kept the same quality and constancy of posting, so, if you really like it you'll get it at anytime, now I'm getting 100 followers everyday (that's a lot considering I only have 3k) but for a long time i had like, 3 or 4 everyday but I didn't mind it

1. Have a trendy art style. 2. Pander to fans 3. ??? 4. Profit

When she erased that perfect arm at 00:49 and draw something weird I had to stop the video and give me a moment to calm down.

13:11 I used to draw realism and semi realism when I was younger but would get so much hate because of proportions and shit like that. It’s been 3 years and haven’t tried since ;-; That’s why any cartoony style is so good because no one can tell you that you got something wrong, because it’s your style.

3:35 *Me drawing mostly fanart:* Interesting

I think people misunderstand the fanart thing. I generally don't do any type of fanart, I'm making my own comic so thats what I draw. My art isnt doing very well at the moment so I was told to do fanart. Here's the thing. A year ago I was drawing manga only, I managed to get a couple thousand ppls attention with it, then I changed my artstyle completely, the views and subs are down now. Heres what you should do, draw a little bit of fanart here and there, for example, when you watch batman and feel like drawing batman then draw batman. But you shouldn't only just draw batman and then one day start drawing original stuff. You should have 9/10 original posts and 1/10 fanart. That way people can still get drawn in and relate to your love for supernatural, but they will still stay, if they do stay, for ALL the art because it wouldnt be worth it just for that one supernatural drawing. ;)

i always get so sad bcus my art doesn't get many recognition, yknow that feeling when you tried so hard but failed anyway? yeah that's how i feel :( i really don't wanna overthink about likes, but i just can't...

That last point actually holds me back from selling my work the most, for different reasons - the idea of possibly getting popular enough to warrant having to maintain an online presence, which is practically mandatory at this point for brand building, is very unappealing to me. I just like putting things out there and lurking in the background while people check them out, like a little goblin sharing their cache of pretty rocks; I want to somehow share my art and stories (and maybe even make some money out of it) without the mortification of being known, which obviously isn't really feasible. XD

when I used to post my artwork on amino, every single like felt/feels sosososo special to me, and I completely freaked out when I got featured.

I recently just quitted all of my social media to focus on my art. Because like you said. When you're not "popular" you usually take it on yourself and how you draw. Im taking it slow, but it's good to rediscover why i love drawing so much and what i want to share with my style :D Again thank you for all of your great tips, i'll probably be going back on social medias in maybe a year. But before that i want to learn to appreciate my art and what i like about it. :)

yes, please spread kindness. there's so much negativity around. be kind to people.

This video was really great and wholesome! Thank you for reminding people about being kind and trying not to let other's comments get to you. It's so important! Not to mention, your art style is friggin adorable

Your use of ombre affects for shading is amazing! I'm so glad I found you. Also, what you're talking about is really relevant to me. Thank you so much for sharing.

1:57 that was what I thought. I was like 13 when I started practising and practising how to make my art more and more realistic because I felt like only then it could actually be good enough for instagram. I gained followers and was happy when I got likes and ashamed of my art when it didn't get likes. The problem was that I didn't have fun creating art anymore. I had like 150 insta followers and I felt like I had to draw realistic stuff and just had to draw it well enough and then I'd gain followers. So I really lost all the fun and creativity and over time also stopped creating art. One day, I discovered your RU-vid channel and other artists like Kasey Golden and realised art does not have to look realistic to be good. That discovery motivated me immensely and I started drawing again. This time, I didn't draw realistically but more cartoonish. I experimented around, got a tablet, tried to find my style and stuff. When I posted something for the first time since a couple of months I was pretty excited to show off my new art. It was the first digital art I had posted. It rarely got any likes. I kinda understood though because it wasn't good at all. I continued posting art but I kept getting less and less likes. The people who followed me had followed me for realism, not some mediocre cartoonish art. I stopped posting my art and decided that from now on I'm only going to create art for myself until I am completely happy with the way I draw. I'm doing that right now, still haven't found my style but I'm learning. Once I feel like I'm ready, I'm gonna create a new account one which I will post my own, original art. I don't think anyone read this but it felt good to write my journey down lol

I dont need popularity, i just want that one talented person to notice me and it's hard jdhejeid does that mean we have to be popular so the talented one noticed us? :(

“People wanted to see stylistic consistency” Me who always tries and draws different art styles : 👁👄👁

I did a speed paint it took months and i finally finished it it got like 20 views and then i saw someone who colored in a square and everyone in the comments were like- omg sooo satisfying!! Hun-

So helpfull! I don't want a huge "fanbase". Just a few ppl to stay around and communicate with. It does feel a bit lonely when you draw something important to your feeling, but only 1-3 ppl like them. Tho every like means alot!

The comment section here is so wholesome! It's great seeing people sharing their Instagrams and complimenting each others' art

You are one of my main inspirations of becoming an artist! Thank you for everything you do!

Thank you so much for sharing- I’ve never heard of any of these changes before and they make so much sense! I really appreciate you helping to make careers based in social media more accessible to more people! It’s something I aspire to and hope to one day be able to do.

Getting your art and maybe youtube videos out is kind of like playing poker. If you're playing and all you do is place all of the cards you have down because you think that if you're just lucky you'll win, you're definitely going to lose and not get discovered. But if you've studied all the rules, techniques, and other experiences, you'll more likely win the round and get discovered more (some luck is still involved, but you'll more likely win).

I use a site called PaigeeWorld, which is a smaller, more kid-friendly version of DeviantArt. About everyone gets noticed, since there's an actual whole section for the new artists to post their first drawing, so they get noticed. They're also a welcome team that helps a LOT ^^ (oh holy shizzle 411 likes wOW)

Me: spends 2 weeks making a animation *0 likes* Gachatuber: hehe, girl head to bop while she nom on coogie *1000000 likes*

I really appreciate this video! i've been feeling down because my art isn't getting all that much attention but at the same time, I've gotten so much support and I have to learn to really appreciate that!

1- Git gud 2- create a Instagram only for att 3- good hashtags, not the popular ones 4- post 2 times a week 5- keep improving and posting and dont die.

People’s reaction to no one noticing your art: 1:disappointed but is reasonable 2:angry/jealous/frustrated 3:guesses luck Me:LETS POST IT ON RU-vid thus how I made my smol channel

Specifically I started drawing like a years ago and till now I'm still having trouble trying to improve my skill because it's feel like I kept drawing the same thing over and over again with no details and messy lines. But then someone told me "If drawing is part of your hobby you should be proud of it" I was kinda confused but then I figured it's about "Draw what you like" so I took it to heart and draw more of what I want.

As a an unpopular tumblr artist, I just don’t care about popularity, I just want to know people that are into the same things as me. I use ibis paint X, and I know I’m not the best, I’m a bit of a beginner artist, even tho I used ibis paint x for most of my art journey, I feel like wanting popularity is just not the best way to get popular. It all goes slowly. Hard work is worth no matter the amount of likes, reblogs and comments.I understand that others go from something to another and entirely different thing. Hope you all understand.

So I was watching this video with earbuds with only one side working *it sounds like she's whispering in my e a r*

Me: *draws shit* Classmate: *WOW!* _Thats beautiful_ Me: -_-

Cool vid! The fan art tip sounds logical - I never thought that about it. Also, although your art isn't anything I aspire, I really like the way you draw :)

Thank you so much for the video, it help me a lot understanding a little bit more about how to approach social media. I always feel light up when I see your art!

I did a real drawing got 4 likes did a joke drawing get 32 likes Is it just me or does the internet like memes and weird things more

Truuue... I've thought about this a lot but it's also kind of sad how people/audience only want to follow a page/blog that has only the artist's art... and then unfollow/get disinterested whenever the artist posts about their life or has an update it's like they hate seeing the artist is a real person and all they want is content content content. That's the only thing that's upsetting.

Thanks! This is a really good video, and the speeddraw process in the background of the representation image is very nice.

what makes me peeved when trying to grow is seeing artists making new accounts then becoming popular faster than you, which really hurts--
