Join someone's art stream and hang out. Or do a stream yourself. They're a great way to get to know people.
Once you're friendly with someone and they've seen your art, offer them an art trade.
Stay 400% cool. *3*

Staying 400 % cool sounds stressful. So much work! Haha, though art trades does sound fun. I totally need to stream art more just Im so awkward. Takes forever for a master piece <3.

Most artists are down with art trades, from what I've seen. I've noticed a fair number of art trades get pushed back for months or never completed, though, since people tend to put them as really low priority on their schedule (commissions typically come first)... But it'll still get your name out there if they post your half to their gallery. :>

I also recommend wearing 4 pairs of shades at all times, if you wanna keep 400% cool like me. BBBB|

Also: "Especially since its my main source of income."

You don't saaaay... *prepares his commissioning hand*

Oh gosh don't do that! i'd feel like I made you do that!! But I'll totally have to save up for 4 stellar shades so I can be as cool as you. Just gushing coolness.

Even before I watched you on here, I was looking at your Tumblr for commission prices and "will/won't draw" lists. :p

W-what!? Wow really. Oh, oh gosh. I should make one. Wow. I feel so deeply honored. :x
