helloo!!! so i dont even know if this will be seen by anyone but ill give it a shot regardless. okkk so is there any method in particular that works well to establish yourself in the art community? such as making friends in the art community and having your art gain more attention?

i feel so stuck in the sense that for as long as ive been drawing for, i never felt like i have made any progress on my art. my name is just as insignificant as it was when i started and i know nobody in the community. i try to interact by complimenting other artists but it never gets me anywhere..

any advice anyone?? ;_; would b appreciated...
