Hey /ic/ I'm wondering about something since I'm looking to take requests..
As an ever growing artist, have you ever done commission artwork for others online?
How'd that go?
Where would you say is the best place to look for taking up requests?
I suppose the best way to do so is to get your name out there, promoting work, and hope someone will want to hire, but I'm also looking for opinions.
I'm only bumping once since I kinda do need replies. I'm curious as heck.
First, make sure you actually have a legit dedicated fanbase, and then offer something premium or commission-tier. I cringe when i see 16 year old girls with horrible drawing skills but cutesy rendering offer commissions on tumblr even when they get an average of 2 notes.
That said, hentai foundry is good for porn
instagram and twitter is good for getting known
patreon is for when you're really confident people are willing to pay.
And keep in mind, this can really difficult and lucky. You're going to need to whore yourself out in all the current fanart, trends, and memes, especially memes. That's another thing, theres nothing more cringy than seeing an old sack of shit drawing something like full metal panic fanart, in 2016 and expecting to get views. Sometimes you can gain popularity overnight, others, its just months persistence, and make sure to always interact and act nice to as many artists as possible, the more popular artist you're friends with, the better.
Step 1. actually learn how to draw you symbol drawing piece of trash. Go back to /beg/ and study Loomis.
