I could listen to this guy speak about how my life is crumbling with no recovery. And it'll still be soothing

[hopefletchfan]

Your titles are so much more aggressive than the content itself. This was such a calm and encouraging video, even with the tough talk

Josh: "[...] she has worked for Disney and Nickelodeon."
Cartoon Network: am I a joke to you

[Jack-xfge]

Definitely respect the fact that you went straight to the point without any bullshit intro.

I draw pretty girls because I like to draw pretty girls. But I also stopped caring about the growth of my profile, people leave all the time, my follower count is declining day by day. I just don't care anymore, because I draw what I like to draw. It's a hobby of mine, I do it for myself, so who cares if I don't have a big following :)

In other words: Make and post your own art and stop drawing Billie Ellish and Cara Delevigne

The Instagram algorithm is extremely unpredictable, I’ve had my art account for about 6 years and it was slow growing for a bit, about 100 followers a year, but in the last year I’ve spiked to 50, 000 followers and I didn’t necessarily change anything in my art when that spike happened, I still don’t know how it happened or how to keep it up, I see people with better art than me get less reach, and i just don’t think insta is very fair at times

[JadeMerien]

This is actually a huge fear of mine. I draw a lot of animals/ surreal wildlife art and built a decent following on instagram because of it. I've been wanting to switch to painting and posting more human / story art but I'm afraid my followers won't like it. I totally support myself on my art, so gaining followers is important. But it's encouraging to know people switch it up and still get engagement :)

[manuelabalo]

something that i believe is important to say is that a lot of us has noticed that artist that get wealthy on instagram are those who have a really marked art style, and its a little of a bump out for new artist that haven`t found their art style, my point is, CHILL finding your art stlyle is a trip, and a trip is always about the journey, not the destination, dont rush it, ill come to you ;)

[ayushisharma]

" get to drawing without thinking about your artstyle " is what i needed to hear. Thank you for this.

I have personally commented on posts by loish and pascal so many times and have had real conversations with them, (while I am a nobody on insta). I think staying humble is the biggest factor in having dedicated followers, Loish also shares her favourite brushes for free which was super helpful when I was just starting out. Also, I agree with your advice for beginner artists, if you post don’t worry about the likes/comments, if you can’t then don’t post until you start feeling more confident about your work.

[AdrianVirlan]

Dude this is top quality content. Your presence, your voice, the camera angle, background, screen layout with you on one side and the things you talk about on the other... Damn... Goals <3 Keep inspiring!

[lynx]

when you don’t have a style yet so having an audience isn’t even an option

[meiphoriaediting]

I think the problem with me is that my art style makes me mad or depressed at times because It doesnt please me, although thats also my insecurities hitting me. Hearing that others big artists go through the same phase its really a reliever. I wish to grow my audience but Im too scared that Im not that level to please them and therefore I'm not ready

[Rayjii]

i came to learn a bit more about instagram, but honestly staying for the top notch lighting and audio quality.
it was such a pleasure to work while this video played in the back.
like a really...good... unintended asmr LMAO
