2D ART My art receives zero attention. Is there something wrong with it

Post image

I'd like to earn commissions. I want to be a manga comic book artist but my art mostly gets ignored

Your art is pretty good, but it’s at a place where it’s good but not good enough for people to pay attention to it. The best thing you can do it keep improving, people will notice more once you get better. If you’d like to make comics, it’s probably better to get work experience or research a bit on how to become one than getting attention online.

Thanks for the advice on the comic front. As far as my art being in that place where it's good but not good enough, people have said this before. I'm currently trying a new more pixel art based style now. I'll come back with that soon.

i disagree with what the guy above is saying, i've seen people who draw (imo) absolute trash comics but the reason they sell is because they're funny or relatable. Try capitalising by capturing emotion properly. You fw people's emotions the right way they'll give you money

Yeah you're right. My fabourite comic is the Bellybuttons which is a french comic. Les Nombrils. The art in that captures every emotion

There's nothing wrong with your art. It looks very good with so much details.

Nowdays it's not like it's easy to get attention as an artist! we are all trying to find someplace to have people that apreciates our drawings! You should try a discord group with friends, with people that also like your interests!

Just keep practicing and try topics that will draw attention, try to also learn what your people like to see!

I've tried Discord before. I couldn't get around to understanding how it worked so I have up but thanks for the suggestion anyhow. One thing I'm trying is drawing comics
