What ways are there to earn some side-money with art? My hobby is sketching/painting architecture similar to pic related. I thought about selling prints with frames over a web-shop I could build but I have no idea if it's going to be worth it. Probably there is no demand at all. Do you think I should give it a try? Or is the only efficient way of making profit by creating a patreon account and make furry porn?
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.

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

Keep telling yourself that.
Protip: it´s not about content, it´s about execution.

Yes. All working artist in the world are getting by because of their furry Patreons. This is the only efficient way to make money with art.
All editorial, storyboard, concept, instructional, industrial, comic, advertising, fine art, apparel, caricature, animation, medical and mural artists - their main sources of income is furry porn.

See, here's the thing. Furry porn when done for the money can be bad, see pic related.
But there are some very legit artists that have put in the work and understand how to draw and paint.
What makes the difference in the furry industry is that furfags that want their omg-so-special OC done RIGHT NOW, so if there's a shittier artist willing to do work, and are cheaper, they're gonna get commissioned, and since they're getting comms, they won't improve because they don't need to.
When you get to even just like Mithril07's work, or the linked gallery of Darkgem, you'll see that sometimes, an artist just really wanted to be good at porn. And also learn some fundamentals along the way.

Childish mentality.
If you learn the fundamentals properly, it's all just a combination of boxes, spheres and cylinders. You can have a ton of fun carefully rendering a shemale furry dick for a commission, no matter your own preferences.
It's no different from Renaissance drawing 500 years ago.

Do what you are passionate about and you will find an audience.
Furry porn artists are furries themselves.

that's objectively good art
