By consistently posting art? Twitter is difficult though.

Just start posting and figure it out as you go.

depends on your style really but I'd say instagram is probably the best option

its not that easy, fan art never works out the best due to the fact that you will appeal to an exact fandom, as in, if you draw disgusting pony shit, only disgusting pony fags will follow, and no one else. ive seen it happen to much, same with the sonic fandom and all that shit

This is largely true. Fan art is a dead-end street. The moment you start posting more original work, your engagement rate tanks.

You need to focus on building up a following who enjoys whatever 'hook' you can consistently offer with your work, whether in subject or theme or style, etc. Just being good in itself is not enough.

i feel like im gonna stay in low attention limbo that way, no direction whatsoever. All i can think of right now is "draw whats popular". that or fucking porn, which is flooding the art because degenerates pay good money.

Posting on any or all of those, but draw something you really like to draw, not something you think will bring traffic, because the best way to sustain regular posting, which is vital to do in the process, is enjoying doing it.

at this point im willing to draw anything if it means getting me started. I enjoy drawing human characters as well as structures and even porn. desu ive always been a fan art kinda guy, i was never really that interested in creating my own world or story, i lack the fundamentals for good story telling, and im not really that interested, thats why ive spent most of my time drawing things like nintendo characters, steven universe shit, a bunch of random non existant faces, even sonic shit, all in different art styles. I had fun.

Okay here's the secret. I'm going to tell you what to do. And believe me, it works. The secret is not being able to draw good. It's not having an appealing style. It's not having a gimmick. It's not pandering to specific fanbases or fetishes. All you have to do is make contacts. Become friends with famous artists. Draw their characters, get them to draw yours, interact with them a lot and people will just follow you no matter how shitty your art is.

Is your goal to be popular and make money or make the art you want to make?
