>>5765598I agree with what
>>5765833 said about finding irl art communities. Although memed on a lot, I believe I learned a lot from art classes ive taken in person and having a teacher there to assess your work and answer any question in real time really helps with speeding up the learning process. Plus you're surrounded by like-minded individuals in an environment that minimizes getting distracted.
Otherwise, I would recommend sticking to smaller art communities. As things get bigger, the amount of clutter becomes too great and the focus of said server is oft lost in the thronging mass of people just looking to talk all day. This isn't bad in and of itself, but when said people don't post work or inhibit others from their goals, it becomes an issue.
Lastly, not necessarily a community, but look into local art galleries and events. There's a lot that can be learned from your local art scene especially when it comes to getting yourself out there. The university I currently attend displays student work in the University but also reaches out to galleries interested in exhibiting them. It can help get your work there and seen by people with a lot of cash who like to stroll around art galleries. Not to mention the appreciation that comes with learning about local history. I can talk about this at length, but I'm not very good with words. Hope this helped.
