-gets you to draw in the first place. BUT the truth is all of your favorite manga artists had to learn the fundamentals at some point as well. It can be boring at times but even just learning a little bit at a time and seeking critique here and there will help you a LOT.

That said, I do get it from the business side of things. You want your art to be front and center, so people immediately know what you’re all about. But with social media generally favoring quantity over quality, it’s difficult to do this as an artist. There has to be a balance.

Which subreddits do you suggest posting in? Reddit can be finicky, since every sub has its own niche set of rules, haven’t quite found where my art belongs there. It’s especially hard when my posts get deleted by auto mods half the time ;;

Even if it’s ponies… I just need the truth of why I’m failing.

Now that I’ve lost my job, I’m in debt, not getting commissions, I have less than $50 in my bank account right now. I just don’t know if it’s worth it to keep trying anymore. I need to know what you guys want to see from me.
