I wanted to type this to rant tag in the discord art server im in but i got anxious, so im posting it here instead ;w;
just a random rant owo
im feeling a lil sad abt how i've had an art acc since 2015 and still, i only have abt 200+ followers with the average likes of abt 30 or 40. i think most ppl would get this feeling of like im not drawing for likes and followers- but like, these things do kinda mean something ._. and it's getting me down as time goes by. i just feel like my art won't ever reach ppl like i want them to and i wont ever have any art friends or ppl to do art things with. i dont always feel like this, just sometimes. i draw cuz i wanna express my emotions and feelings and i want to improve and draw better but gahhh these things just makes me demotivated sometimes TwT.
okay, rant over.

I shouldn't like him
I've known this guy for over 5 years. We meet when I was still in elementary and we talked almost everyday with a mutual friend. Over the years we lost contact...
I hear you. I don't do art primarily as my life focus, or anything really, because I'm too scared at the moment. I think that you're even making art is pretty bold in itself. The only failed artists are the ones that quit. I was reading an article the other day about the dichotomy between artists that are recognized during their lifetimes and the ones that aren't. I get death anxiety and worry that my work will never be recognized. So I've considered doing things like printing it out and stuff to save just in case I go-- so it's there if anyone ever finds it. If the internet goes out. But what if someone burns all of my stuff? It's a lot to worry about. I've been kinda making like some form of music for 6 years now, but I've never been happy with it. I've never been able to let go completely. Not enough, anyway. But enough about me. Friends are important. I think the way you do that is by being social and making art. I'm glad you're pursuing this goal. What you have now is more than a lot of people have at all. I'm sure you have the potential for more. You just need to believe in yourself. Worst case scenario, you tried. Good luck!
ReplyI have an art account, though not many followers, about 400. When I make "good" art, I get new random followers about 10 or more. Then I post junks on insta story, I lost 20 followers, that's the double than I gain.
But let me tell you something; my loyal followers may not be many but they're my colleagues, teachers and actually well known people who has big companies and entrepreneurs. And it's followers that I admire a lot. I get to know them by occasionally checking on them and chat, eventually they interest to be my acquaintance so they follow me back.
Why am I telling you this? I just want you to remember that number of followers only means they like your products, not the real you. Still, it's okay if you prefer that way but see a little different perspective for a minute there. Less followers doesn't mean you're sucks, it's just people don't know you yet or has a different taste of design, or maybe a little social anxiety as following an account less than 200 followers is kindda feels like stalking, unless you knew them from other websites.
Anyway, that's enough from me. I do get anxious though, but let's do this together alright? I feel same as you, we're the same and it's alright, we are one step of learning to become a better person. And hopefully we won't ever forget our loyal followers. We can do this, you can do this. 💐
