I hate when
13 years ago
I pour my heart and soul into a piece of artwork and spend hours stacked upon hours to make it just the way I want it.... and I get three favorites and a few comments.
And then someone popular on FA makes a three-second sketch and they get 65786541356489651 favs. Like.... a;lhasd.
I'm not begging for favs or watches, or asking for sympathy... but seriously. Is my art THAT BAD? What does a girl have to do around here to get a few people interested in her art? (If porn is your first answer, don't bother. It's not happening.)

One, commenting is dying out. No matter who you are, unless you're a BIG artist, it seems like no one's getting as many comments as they used to. I don't know the reason for this.
Two, content is important, not necessarily porn. FA generally prefers attractive canines and felines, in the typical popufur styles, or drastically different ones that are unusual and unique.
Three, gotta post and comment a lot! I think the more active you are on here, the more attention you'll get. Even if it's just sketches and silly comments, the more you appear, the more they'll notice you.
..and porn, but yeah.
THOSE BEING SAID THOUGH, I really liked your most recent picture. I was gonna comment there, but I'm gonna say it here, I really like the colors you used, and the hair looks awesome. I think the only reason it isn't getting attention is 'cause it's human, which is unfortunate.
Also, when it comes to FA, as the name implies, people here like furries and animals....and I'm not particularly good at either of those. So, I don't exactly have a high demand.
And the last problem I have is that people here likes the furries, but people on DA have an eye for almost anything. But people on DA also like very high-quality stuff, and I feel like I'm always waaaaay out of my league on there.
*shrugs* So it's like I'm back where I started until I either buy a how-to-draw animals book or just keep practicing my anatomy for DA. aksdhg
But thanks for the kind words, Kira! Advice and comment on the picture! I appreciate it! :3
But in all honesty I think Kira is half-right, gotta get out there more, Either by commenting, posting every single day, etc...that is how it works on every art site, at least on DA and Weasyl you have a better advantage by joining groups. Fan Art of well known, or currently popular media is also a good way to get noticed I mean look at
Good Luck!
I just want people to like my stuff for what it is. But it still lacks substance and I guess until I learn more, that's just the way it is.
It is a symbiotic thing. You can also draw nice looking characters for some gift art until you are receiving a steadier "supply" of watchers and faves.
It's something to think about doing again, though. Thanks for the suggestion.
Don't be discouraged. A lot of the time it's just because a lot of people don't browse anymore, so unless you're on the front page when people sign in they probably won't see your work. I just suggest drawing more so you get your face out there more and so you can draw more people in. XD That and I just love seeing your work in general.

Oh and also, I don't know if you use the tag options, but taking a little time to fill in the species, genders and adding abusing the hell out of the tag box also helps a lot.
