>>3892129So how do you market yourself? I made these posts on the dead Patreon thread
>>3892122>>3892131All I heard so far is
>fanart / trendhoppingI don't think I can use fandoms to my advantage
>be "funny" / use your "personality" / be a girl memewhich I suspect only works if you want to draw in children ala Pewdiepie
>pornthat's an entirely different market
>"networking"what does this mean? if I talk to other artists on social media they reply to me like I'm a fan (of course), so I'm just a fan, I'm not "networking". Even mildly popular artists won't even consider you if you don't have a fanbase of your own that can cross over. It makes no sense.
>be professional, regular updates, etc.fair enough but many popular artists didn't follow this at all and still got popular, and being 100% consistent right now for me would still mean completely zero views because I'm isolated from the search algorithms and my art may as well not exist on the platforms.
>be ultra amazing at drawing and get by with sheer qualityI would do this if I could
Is there anything that an industry professional learns on the field that I am not even thinking about? How much of it is related to actual drawing? I honestly doubt that getting better at drawing, even a whole lot better, will have an effect.
