Use a limited pallet.

aaaaanndd you should spend a good amount of time preparing your palette.
It sucks, and I hate doing it, but mixing certain skin colors and temperature variances off of it, mixing greens and browns before hand is suuuper helpful.

Try just using Zorn's palette for a while.
Yellow Ochre, Cadmium Red Medium, Ivory Black plus Titanium White.

You got it. Just: like, follow, comment others work.
If you have an advanced level you can produce brushes, tutorials, template that will drag a lot of people to you.
Also you have to know what kind of audience you want. Other illustrators are more interested in step by step work, but random people prefere a finished polished illustration they can use as a screensaver in exemple.

I take note

no one else have to give some advice?

Then simply I have to follow all registered users and put like at all the posts that are published?
Quantity is better than quality?

The best way to get any sort of a following is to pretend like you're friends with people and can be friends with anybody. Make yourself approachable, talk to people, make comments, strike up conversations. This kind of strategy really helps if you're mediocre. If you like people's posts on a website, send them a pm telling them how great they are; ask them questions about themselves since most people like to talk about themselves and their accomplishments. They might follow you back and then they'll see all your posts and possibly share them. This really helps if the other person is popular and you worm your way into their inner circle. You can also start out small and work your way in. Pick someone that's a friend of your target friend and build up a rapport with them and hopefully they'll introduce you to their friends or their discord after sometime.

Just a little side example, most of the people that browse creative don't want to look at good art, they want a cool friend to talk to because they're bored or lonely. People get attached to personalities, so you have to make one for yourself if you're lacking in that department. The whole personality thing is key, it's the reason YouTube celebrity is a thing nowadays.

When you make friends, they are more willing to support you than strangers if you want commissions.

If you have trouble talking to people, put on a work persona and pretend to be involved. If you can't do that, hire someone.
It's hard at first to start talking to people, but, use the text-based interface to your advantage. If people don't answer you, move on to the next person.

>The quote rings true to today.
I agree. The abolition of slavery was worse than the Civil War.

The word "rebellion" needs to be replaced with "bloodshed" for the quote to not be fucking retarded. You can have a rebellion with very bad/misguided intentions.

He's young so he should take advantage of that fact and stick to art instead of shitposting so much. He's got the potential and the opportunity to make it if he can resist getting into an internet fight for 2 seconds.

He's an alright kinda dude.

>>2856533
He's a mediocre artist that cares way too much about himself and thinks that he's much better than he actually is. (even though he won't admit it).
He has potential if he strays from his comfort zone.

post ur work

Omg post your work I wanna see

Do what you want. Don't sell out to furry porn. That's for shitty artists. If you get good enough there will be a following, even if it is small. Just gotta keep working.

Even if no one enjoys your work, you will. That's what matters. Art is supposed to be an expression of life.

>Art is supposed to be an expression of life.
The board isn't for fine art, but rather draftmanship and similar.

I second doing what you want. If you do it for fun (meaning you do it in your spare time and don't freeze up about "looking good to an audience" etc. too much) then you will make more stuff, pop up on people's feeds more, get a bigger audience, etc. See >>2858557

Not gonna make it.

How about you just fucking do the painting and give it to them?

As I said before I have to pay bills and I need money so I took smaller jobs to make some extra cash.

>,some people still don't really improve even after years of practice. Why is this
They really aren't trying to get better. Improving involves conscious effort, focusing on specific areas, analyzing what you're seeing and what you're doing. Improvement comes from understanding. Simply repeating exercises won't make you improve.

Repetition will strengthen muscles, because that's how muscles work, but doing 1+1 over and over again won't teach you algebra.

Spoken like a true dyel.
