>Draw smut if you want to get noticed fast
Most websites auto-hide your account if you create any nsfw content. The only people that'll see it are users that tweaked their settings earlier to view everything that gets indexed. You'll reach a larger audience now just by drawing cute things first.
>"Always ask someone for critique"
Yes, although receiving critique from people can assist you, asking yourself can be twice as helpful(Assuming you've studied at least all the basic fundamentals of art first). Sometimes people can unintentionally feed you poor information that could make your craft look more inferior compared to what it originally was from the beginning. Examine and question your artwork as if it were a bad Photoshopped image whenever something looks off is an easy alternative to quickly spot the mistakes in your craft.
"Would their ___ really be that long? Where would the primary light source come from? Are the characters levitating? Would they look like this from the background's perspective?" and etc.

This is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen out of Star Wars

Shit advice, mate.
Tumblr doesn't hide shit and it's currently the most popular online portfolio for porn artists. FurAffinity only hides NSFW work if you request it (which basically no one does since 90% of furries are there for the porn).
Only DeviantArt is like that, but if you're using DeviantArt you've already failed.
You need to have a much higher skill level to be noticed with "cute artwork" than you have with porn. People are less likely to be bothered by artistic flaws if you draw stuff that gets them off, specially if it's niche.

>Tumblr doesn't hide shit
If you flag your account as a nsfw blog, it hides your posts that would've shown up in the tagged/search section unless people have their safe search thing turned off. Really, test it out. If your blog is not flagged but you create an unholy amount of nsfw content anyway, it'll be flagged by a moderator if someone reports your blog, thus hiding your work from a larger audience.
>You need to have a much higher skill level to be noticed with "cute artwork" than you have with porn.
Not really. Most of the good artists that can draw cute things jumped on the porn bandwagon along with their grandma since 2008(or probably earlier). You hardly see new GOOD cute artwork, fandoms are hungry for anything they can get their hands on and will post them everywhere once they find it. Yes, drawing smut will get you some attention, but cute shit will bring in larger crowds, whether your skills are mediocre or not.
>People are less likely to be bothered by artistic flaws if you draw stuff that gets them off, specially if it's niche.
Yeah, that's true for obscure/niche fetishes. But for other things, your content is less likely to be reblogged/shared/reposted or whatever if it looks sloppy. You might get a rating/star/like at best, but no one is going to share eye gouging half-assed shit on their account/website. For cute artwork, you can easily get away with it if you go the cartoon route. They're basic, they consist of simple shapes, they require little to no construction, and best of all -- fandoms will eat it up and share it everywhere. Speaking from experience right now, I've got more exposure from cute art in two weeks than a whole year of fully rendered porn.

What about commissions? To be honest I only ever hear about porn ones on /ic/.

>>2869351
No idea when it comes to commissions. I just draw to let off steam. Sorry, Anon.
But if I had to take a wild guess, porn probably still tops cute art in commissions.

Why that?

What? The single most popular artist on DA is Sakimichan and she has a ton of NSFW images in her gallery. To be honest, I'm having a hard time to think of ANY popular artist on DA who doesn't have at least a handful of NSFW labeled figure studies or pinups or whatever on their gallery.
