Well those on top usually make a comic or two, so you could try that. But in terms of your art I think you're exceptionally good.

I dont know how much my word counts as I dont even have 1k watchers yet, but in my experience as someone who has watched other artists grow is that it just takes time. You have had this account for about 4 years now and are at 6k watchers and thats amazing! Your goal will definitely be reached soon with time, as your art is wonderful.
(If furaffinity had a group-system like dA then that woudve been one option to get more watchers, so it really sucks that there is nothing like that.)
Im sure you know these following options already but Im just listing them in case you do not:
- Do an art raffle which requires people to watch you to enter.
- Post art pieces more than once. This way more people wil see the art piece and might watch you.
- Let your commissioners upload your art piece to their account and make them credit you for the work.
- Make accounts on other art (furry) websites and link your fA account in every submission, some people might come watch you here too. (Weasyl, inkbunny, furiffic, hentai-foundry)
- Ask people nicely to recommend you in a journal to their watchers?
Your art is really gorgeous and you definitely deserve the 10k watchers. Time will eventually make you reach that number.

Asking people to signal boost you is actually against FA rules. I wouldn't advise it.

Events help stir up attention like iron artist, watcher raffles, special YCH's, collabs. Seeing popufurs drawn by you always helps like Artica. Multistreaming with a variety of artists to get a mixed audience.

Many ways to get yourself seen by more and boost your watchers number but it'll grow with time either way

There's no sure-fire way to get there. Lots of great suggestions here already, but it really does take time and luck.

But when it really comes down to it, just do what you enjoy doing and have fun with it. I want to say you shouldn't focus on a number of watchers as a goal (I mean, it's practically impossible to not think about at all, but y'know), since all of them are individual people and they come trickling in slowly on their own as long as you're just enjoying yourself. Every content creator hope for that break that'll really kick their "career" into gear and shoot off, but there really is a lot of luck involved. Some people try really hard and do everything they can to appeal to people out there, but never get anywhere. And others don't really put too much thought into it and just have fun, but somehow they suddenly get a lot of attention and everyone seems to love their work. Have fun with what you're doing and anyone looking at your stuff will have fun too. Fun spreads.
So honestly, just enjoy yourself and who knows what will happen.

Hey Mixi. -lots of hugs-
This is definitely not a silly question.
I'm pretty sure that it took even the most popular artists on here a long time and a ton of work and effort to gain 10k watchers. In my very honest opinion even if you don't have the same amount of watchers as them is definitely at or beyond their level. Your art is always absolutely gorgeous and phenomenal and you improve more with each piece you do. You're definitely one of my favorite artists and I just made sure to show that on my profile.
One of the best ways to get your name out there would be to be on other social media as well. Ex: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. (Warning most of these sites have their fair share of art thieves and drama starters.)
As others have suggested having special watcher events and a raffles where people have to watch you to enter are also great ways to gain more watchers.

Best wishes Mixi my dear friend. Always wishing you all the best.

Hello, Mixi!


Hey hey! I think that you are a spectacular artist and will surely reach 10,000 watchers in no time flat and there is no doubt about that! My suggestions would be to.....

☆Have themed YCHS such as (For ex: Mario Kart, Pokemon, NITW, maybe even Undertail)

☆Try doing more SFW pieces with lush beautiful backgrounds and creative ideas that really show off your abilities to the Maximum or shall I say Miximum!

☆How about having medley raffles with different prizes concerning where the raffles is held i.e instream or out of stream. By Medley raffle, I mean that each participant that wins could win a medley of prizes (one each) depending which placing they won in (1st place, 2nd Place, etc...). For prizes, they could win stuff 30% off coupons, Date With Mixi Colored Sketch, Full or Flat Colored Bust, Full or Flat Colored Bust(Themed), Chibi headshot, Flat Color Chibi, Mini Ref Sheet w/ simple Color Pallet, Mixi MC for a Day ( However many hours of your choosing, the winning participant can choose the music being played during the stream), Beverage flat colored Sketch, Full Body Full Color w/gradient background, Monochrome Full Body/Bust/Headshot, Mixi Art Slave for an hour(1 Character Colored Sketches Only), and so on!

☆Be yourself, grind, and slay the competition with your rad art style! Simply be patient, just like love, gaining watchers and notoriety takes time, If was all instant-fame everyone would and could do it!


☆Stream with artists that are good influences on you and the community. Stream with artists that inspire and infect you with positive energy through their art and push you when you feel you can't go on! Popular artist or not no one likes a douche bag, and usually, who you hang around will say a lot about who you are as well. Be careful who you call friend and stream with ^ ^

☆Create a world via Discord where watchers and role players can take part and enjoy!


☆Try holding artist an Q & A's via Discord chat. I am sure watchers would love to hear your voice and connect with you on another level. Social anxiety? Have some virtual body guards there during the Q & A!


These are just a few of my many ideas, but I hope you consider trying some of them out! And most importantly I hope it helps your career!

Keep aiming high, because if you give up on your dreams then you'll never know if you could have achieved them.

It takes time. That and it's not worth it chasing watchers. As long as you have a few people who truly appreciate your work that's really all that matters. If money is a factor as long as you get a few regular commissioners there's only so much art you can do. The people who have tons of watchers got there either due to sheer luck or hard work or both. Your best bet is to strive to better yourself as an artist and person and just keep making art. Make lots of art of all different kinds, study the fundamentals and do as much of the kind of art you like as possible.

Tl;dr focus on self-improvement, self-care and on doing what you love. You might not get a ton of people watching you but popularity is overrated. Being well liked & appreciated > being popular.

Speed paints on youtube seen to do wonders, posting drawings on deviantart and furaffinity, reddit (dangerous due to trolls), twitter, reaching into different styles of artwork (comic-styled drawings to give your characters a bit of background maybe?)

Fetish drawing (you already draw rather hourglass styled furs so you aready 'touch on' tit and ass fetishes plus sexual desires and so forth.) These types of drawings though tend to bring more unstable watchers so be careful in these scenarios and focus in what you enjoy drawing if you do try this.

(phone pissing me off bear with granmar errors ;-; it keeps closing my keyboard x.x)

You can also try using advertisement banners here on FA though it's a bit of a stretch unless you already do..... (why is this afbanner in my text window ._. Can't see squat.)

You can also try as someone above said. Raffles, both random and themes but require you tk be a watcher to ebter.), you already are part of a discord community and post regularly for streams and multi streams.


Theme artwork and drawings surroubding popular franchises like pokemon and mario would give you a boost but they'd expect more and more of that so it may not be the best option. They're like fetish watcheds in many cases.

Q.A journals, "what to draw next" journals primarily would benefit you with your current watchers and get them active too.

Idr if you had a DA but you could expand outward to there and make a group on it.

Post nsfw speedpainta on dailymotion (i think they still allow that... o.o haven't been there in years.) Since youtube is strict about what is allowed on their site.

Drawing gift art and collaberation peices for popular fur artists would also be pretty neat. Many them shoutout to those who do gift work (wolfjedi sometimes also does gift art in return but he's a fetish artist so be warned. He's a good guy though :) ) and AkuOreo.

Experimenting new styles and expanding your commission options also helps sometimes although it rarely helps those below 25k watcheds due to changes being seen as an unstable artist.

Drawing "derp artwork" sometimes brings in new people too (derp artwork tends to be sketch panels where characters are interacting in daily life moments. Not much effort put in but they're comedic relief and give personality to characters whileyou get practice on interactive poses. :3 )

Idk how much of this you'll read so i'll stop here xD besides. This adbanmer on my text screen is blocking everything i'm typing -_-

Alll in all keep pushing for your goal, fuck 10k i'm sure you'll multiply that by 10 times once you find your stride. Your art is some of the most detailed i've seen out there, and the speed at which you draw them sometimes scares me o.o. you, Mixi, tailsrulz, and McTranceFox do some of the most amazing artwork when it comes to shear detIling and pose work. Don't belittle yourself, and keep moving.

Oh-also-have some SFW art people can link to on social media. That way those of us who are on Facebook or have SFW twitter accounts have something to link to. I had a hard time finding examples of recent art that were SFW that I could link to FB.
