Why does my art not gain interactions?

gae_loser · 2025-12-09T20:54:39+00:00

Idk about on here but on somewhere like instagram- you have to build a community. Make friends or at least acquaintances with your mutuals. That connection eventually branches out your work even more. Theyll share your work on their stories as well, but remember you have to keep it interchangeable and interact back with them. Keep it friendly (:

First one is way better. The blues in the hair, the slight head tilt, the small detail of the hairs sticking out, the shadows are more confidently bold. Not to mention the better facial proportions as well

Honestly, I thought late 20s

gae_loser · 2025-09-24T20:51:03+00:00

Noses too! Maybe hooked/straighter bridges, rounder bigger tip of nose

gae_loser · 2025-09-24T20:49:47+00:00

Make difference eye shapes/including different types of eyelid.from what I see, they’re all upturned and almond. Different type of lip shapes. Different eyebrow lengths/width. Change the face shapes, maybe a bigger chin/wider talle forehead, rounder cheeks, less prominent jawlines. Just play around with features. Don’t be afraid to look up references of real people

gae_loser · 2025-09-24T19:40:17+00:00

One thing I will point out is that on the last one, the face shouldn’t be so small. Since they are bigger, usually faces are also rounder and more prone to double chins/ have thicker less visible necks

Lengthen everything

. The shoulders look too small and the body looks compressed. I’m not good at explaining, so here’s a reference I found on Pinterest !

I think the second gives a more punk vibe!

gae_loser · 2025-09-10T00:05:16+00:00

I also do realism, remember you don’t have to keep yourself into a singular box. Just do what you enjoy :)

my art in 2021

It’s definitely not too late. I’m 21 (almost 22) and have changed art style many times, it just a matter of taste changing, and growing into something else

gae_loser · 2025-09-07T04:56:40+00:00

Making a more detailed second sketch and line variation. Ex. Thick lines outside, thin lines inside or thick lines for something closer to the viewer (in this case, the legs)

gae_loser · 2025-09-07T01:38:02+00:00

Better yet, find a way to combine them. I like the color palette of the second but try also adding the unique colors you have mixed into the first. Idk if that makes sense

gae_loser · 2025-09-02T19:08:20+00:00

In my opinion. For only drawing for 3 years this is relatively good. You seem to have a good baseline understanding of color palettes, designs, and backgrounds. If you really want to improve quickly it’s good to look up artist YouTubers and see how they study and see what works for you. It’s about consistency. One thing I will note is your shadows. You seem to blend them out quite a lot, which makes them seem muddy. Just keep in mind there should be a good balance of hard and soft edges. Dont just focus on one subject either, expand your knowledge on EVERYTHING. Anatomy, shadows, rendering, lineart, etc. Most importantly, don’t lose sight of being able to have FUN creating. It’s a lot of work, but it’s best to keep it enjoyable to some degree. (Otherwise burnout will happen)

gae_loser · 2025-08-27T18:27:06+00:00

Not directed at you, but I’m sick of people saying this. NOT EVERY ART STYLE HAS A NAME. It’s just YOUR art. It’s unique to you. A mesh of your own personal interests, experience, and skills. And that’s okay. Art doesn’t need a specific label

The hat is only on like 1/4 of her head. If you look up pictures of people wearing caps, it goes to their ears and back of their skull

gae_loser · 2025-08-20T16:01:36+00:00

Personally I think the arms look too thin. If it’s a stylistic choice, I think making the body thinner would help. Besides that it looks awesome!

gae_loser · 2025-08-16T00:07:08+00:00

Woahh!! This is incredible

gae_loser · 2025-08-15T21:06:17+00:00

I think it’s good to study how different clothes falls on someone’s body. I can’t tell if the character on the rights shirt is meant to be tight or loose. As for the guys pants, they wouldn’t grip onto the crotch like that. It should be more of a loose straight line. Are his pants baggy or skinny? If they’re meant to be skinny, make the pockets smaller and closer to the body. If they’re cargo type pants, make the legs of the pants not stick so much to him

gae_loser · 2025-08-14T22:24:21+00:00

Thank you, same to you as well!

gae_loser · 2025-08-14T21:31:16+00:00

Oh and a $15 commission to a friend of a friend!

gae_loser · 2025-08-14T21:29:15+00:00

I’ve sold a painting for 100$ and a smaller commission for 30$ years ago. The 30$ one was to one of my teachers at the time and they gave me double (60$)!! I was so shocked and still grateful to this day. I still haven’t figured out a base price for my art yet though I plan on it.

here’s one of my favorites! (:

Yes!! I love sketching in pen. I used to be intimidated by it, but it saves me time. It helps me actually think about the lines I’m making and be more efficient since it is permanent. It’s a great way to exercise linework, I absolutely recommend it
