Some great advice and great artworks to illustrate your point too. The final partial face image is my favourite.
Any artist that tells you, They "DONT CARE" if they make money off their art is lying
I think that if you are already wealthy or are doing it purely as a hobby but it doesn't matter but if you aim to make a living off it you have to care.
Deviant Art
It takes a while to build a following, But once you do, You are golden.
To me, The website seems messy, and confusing.
Me too I don't even bother with it anymore but then I'm not a professional artist. DA reminds me of reddit in some ways.
Time lapse videos.
I've noticed these a lot. I think they are popular because they are very quick to view and they can be very inspiring. Most people don't have much time these days but seeing a great work take shape in a few minutes can ignite the flame of their creativity.
Coloring books,
Only came across these recently on here but they seem pretty cool and an easy effortless way for people to get back in the creative spirit which is why I suspect they are so popular. If you haven't picked up a paintbrush or pencil in a while it can be intimidating to go back to full blown creations. This is a low friction way of getting back into the groove.
Thanks for sharing your tip:)
No problem! Thank you for such a high quality comment! I agree with everything hehe! I don't mess with DA much either. But thats because I get most of my following and money from publishing books.
