Thank you for all this info!! One thing that I find fun about posting oc art is that if you have a little audience or some mutuals who enjoy oc lore keep things vague at first while slowly dropping clues about their story!! This is something I really liked doing, because it involved messing with my friends and telling more people about my characters. Doing it episodically is the key :D
How do ppl even build an audience... Im starting for scratch but cannot get a single attention orz I have no friends/moots with similar interests nor do I know where to find them... Arghh
I can’t think of a good name for mine that sound cool my names vi and want to have a cool name that stands out can you help me? (I’ll credit you or anyone who helps out with my name)
Didn't Instagram change hashtags, that you cant really filter for the new works, but only see a collection of the most popular. That's so destructive for new artists...
@@nonickname-zy9mu Sorry for not answering before, but before Instagram hashtags were sorted into multiple lower categories. So if you take #art you had a tab with the top posts in it and one with the most recent posts with the hashtag. This made it possible to find small artists etc that just posted something with that hashtag. Now only the top posts that already have bunch of views can be seen. Its pretty sad tbh.

I'm someone who gets immediately depressed when I'm drawing something just for a trend because honestly I feel like it's all the same empty thing every time. I have no idea how I would ever keep up this
I gave up on social medias because despite doing EVERYTHING you told in this video (and for years), all the interactions I had was robots tagging fake accounts... I'm tired But I'll have to restart over if I want to grow as an independant artist :/ Thank you for the video !
i feel this so much. have been going on the same for years now, but i decided to enter a tourney server for a game i liked and applied for doing art prizes for the winners. i got to know a lot of artists and people in general and honestly it looks like a great way to start an art career. obviously not the only one but it seems to be working for me :)
Quality over quantity is key, and boost app social has been my go-to for maintaining that. It helps me plan and create content that resonates with my audience, keeping my art's integrity while growing my reach. Any other artists here found it helpful?
I’ve found that doesn’t really hold true anymore unless you have a quality level that makes you top in your industry… otherwise algorithms see infrequent posts and you get buried with low engagement. Social media often operates and pushes up creators with lots of quantity content that can frequently post
If it works for you I’m really glad though! I’ve noticed people nowadays also enjoy consistent content without changes in style or subject, when they follow someone they often want the same vibe to curate to their tastes.
You're giving a wrong advice with a big confidence and a straight face. Quality over quantity doesn't work in social media and any artist would agree with it. If you were to draw the trending thing, you would have to do it fast before the trend died out and striving for quality contradicts it. Simple stuff with simple shadows and zero to no background based on popular themes and characters always gets more attention, than a fleshed out piece of art with immaculate details and render based on not so popular media. Quality > Quantity is a rule of the past, when DeviantArt was still the most used platform for art. Now you have to post constantly with broader reach to get followers. Only after you get the audience, you can start posting something "for your soul" from time to time. The only exception is if you want to work professionally in a studio where only skill and connections matter, but this video is not about that. Such plan barely works in social media and you have to be really lucky to get noticed that way.
There is no words to explain how much i will cherish this knowledge. I'll cling to it like its my lifeline, like there is no other reason to exist in this planet
I know for a FACT that the posting fandom content works because one time I posted a TADC OC challenge on tiktok since I couldn't find a decent one, and it went semi-viral, as of now, there's 4.8k views, 204 likes, and 62 favs and is my most popular vid on tiktok Edit: unrelated but right after this comment, I caught a bug midair

I just barely started posting my art here on UA-cam, I came here to figure out how to grow my channel. Thank you for this, you did a good job at explaining and I like your voice
I feel extremely depressed because I only ever get likes from an NFT account and a bit coin selling account- I rarely get any likes from people who are normal…
tysm for this info i think i now know why my art doesnt do well on instagram, i do post decently consistant and a lot of fanart a lot of which being things that are trending, but i constantly switch style, color pallete and brushesso i think that might be my problemn
that might be BUT like i said in the video its good to test around with styles and brushes and to branch out, especially if your a newer artists since your trying to find yourself, youre doing everything right , its just socail media sucks
@@bingusslingus7020 i didn’t mean any rude intentions, English is not my native language and if English is not spoken clear or with a thick accent, i can not understand it
Thank you very much for this video Bloo!! ♥ I honestly feel that it will help me a lot, to be able to use my social networks in a better way, I thank you very much, you have always been my favorite artist, I love all your works, and I love the help that your videos give me! UwU
Thank you!! I feel like the algorithm hates me, because I've barely gotten anywhere as in, 2-3 months now? as I am trying to make my au (undertale au) to be known. I always drop some info, plus I upload the comic on a different page compared to my tiktok, but I have the same username and everything you mentioned. I just rather make related content there, as that can usually attract attention and lead people to investigate on what you have. I hope miracles exist and I'll be seen with my hard work :)
Thank you so much for this video! This really helps a lot! I'm kind of struggling with Instagram at the moment..and I already quickly burned myself out!
I'll say this: thats probably the first sponsor ever that ive seen and im actually going to try it out. This couldnt have come at a better moment (altough im watching this months later from posting lol) because just today i was struggling with making a decent looking commission sheet ^^
thanks this is super helpful!! I tend to post art of more obscure or smaller fandoms (webtoons, death note) so that may have been where I flopped. Excited to add these changes in!
Such a good video, I noticed that UA-cam like to choose whether they going to put it out there or not it's very annoying for someone who is very small and already get maybe 1 view a day, the bad videos do good and the good videos do bad.
Ty so much for this video :). I have a yt channel and it's not rlly preforming well because I BARELY post, I literally go months without posting because making just one piece of art takes me a lot of time. Also, I have so many things I want to post abt, but because my parents see my UA-cam channel and stuff, I can't really post about stuff I'm passionate about since they're going to ask about the things I'm drawing 😭.
i get that, have you considered going under a different username ? you should do the things youre passionate about even if that means not showing it to people close to you
@@Bluebescuits I mean, ur right. I just posted a video yesterday abt a drawing I did for a popular show on the internet rn, and I just did it because I’m just tired of not posting for a while, and I still have a lot more work to do since posting one thing abt a fandom isn’t going save my channel, but thx for the advice! I’ll see if I can change my username into something more memorable, but at the moment idk because I have a hard time coming up with usernames lol
I do all these, and taken everyone else’s advice, yet my engagements is going down with every post and my followers list has remained the same amount of numbers for half a year. I’m sick of people saying to just be happy with my numbers, bc *news flash*, I am forever greatful, but what’s wrong with wanting to grow more, esp when I want to make a business at some point? I gain lots of attention but rarely follows. It’s gotten to the point where I’ve given up trying to improve.
This might come across as a little vent but this is just my genuine experience. I've struggled with a lot of depression and my own personal setbacks in life since 2020, i used to post my art before that on insta and had like 500 followers but not rly any identity or consistency and since then due to my irl problems i completely stopped posting and became a passive consumer of other's art on social media and ever since then i havent had the courage to restart I've just been afraid and during this time I've also seen much better artists than myself, my lack of experience of these 4 yrs, the whole scene of nfts and ai... like i am discouraged beyond repair. Idk what will motivate me, also the fact that i dont really have any friends to encourage me and support me idk how to get the strength to get back to doing art when it once used to be the thing i loved doing the most
Thank you for all the tips Blue < 3 I´m trying to create more art content on social media now, and all this info will be very helpful on my artist journey.
I hate that I don't have any interaction in my draws ANYTHING, just dumb bot accounts 😢 All the management of social media it's always ending really difficult to me
Thank you so much! Now I know to have shared user names instead of different ones…along with several other things. Glad I found this video before my social media presence got more confusing😅
I plan on doing more oc work I have a lot of ideias in my brain and I just need to put them into work For example My main oc will be from the future, he loves stuff from the 20 and 21st centuries, he tried to create a time machine of his own to visit the past, but in the process he gained acess to different realities, when he travels to some universe, he takes control of an alternate version of himself, and absorbs their memories and personalities Thats a fun concept for creating different versions of my main oc
honestly… I wish there was a button that disables you from seeing views, followers, and like counts. I need to teach myself not to be affected by numbers when I don’t get the result I want
I know insta has an option where you can hide the likes you receive ! I also think twitter (X) has something similar (?) I’ve seen some artists have no likes visible on there a while ago :D
thanks for ur informative video! Im struggling to be consistent lately since Im taking course but I will start reporting once a week from my old works!
Does anyone have any tips on how to make people care for your OCs? 🖤 I’m a relatively new to posting OCs, so I don’t really know when to share stuff about them and how to make people care. 😅
I think as long as the art you draw of them is emotive, people will remember and soon become curious who the recurring character in your art is! I never draw fan art and nor do most of my mutuals, so there absolutely is an audience out there who prefer original art 💗
another comment said that slowly dropping hints about their story through their art over time will make people more interested in them and get attached! really focus on showing off their personalities! drawing a simple pose is ok for something like a character sheet but try and do more creative things to show off ur OCs normal activities and stuff! like if they love reading draw them sleeping surrounded by books drooling on the pages or if theyre aggressive show them gripping someones shirt with their fist about to beat tf out of them haha! something that does really well also is humor and relatability so people share it and are like "she just like me fr" LMAO if you can find a way to incorporate those things i think it should help! also random but sketches usually do really well too
instagram has me kinda shadowbanned on both my art accounts, not even a single like from people who don´t follow me, not even the bots come to say to dm my art to their accounts, and I don't know why, I don't have anything that goes against Instagram rules.
if you dont post for a while your piece wont end up on others feeds, its like a light shadowban, if you start being a little more active it should help im sorry this has happended to you
- Omg It's so hard for me to make out what you're saying sometimes, probably because I'm not a native English speaker... I absolutely love your art tho, thank you for the video! 🤍
Thank you!!! this is motivating me to really try as I want to do something with my art and I want to grow! I have mostly just drawn OC art without even thinking about how people look at them and just go, "oh who is this?" that and also I post like once in a blue moon Very informational video thank you again!
Appreciate the video and you have such a great style! Your engagement % (likes per post vs follower count) is probably the highest I've ever seen for an art account! I guess it's from the community aspect/engaging with your audience as much as possible but it's very rare to see that high, so I'm curious if you think you do anything different to most artists to achieve that? :)
@@Bluebescuits Thanks for the reply! Oh sorry, I meant your engagement on your IG, even on your image/carousel posts the engagement likes/comments is super high! Or did you mean you post tutorials on IG stories/reels then? And perhaps that makes your community more engaged across the board? :)
@@Matt-fo4gg oooooo ok yeah that makes sense, my IG is pretty active. I think it’s just the amount I post or what I post, and a lot of people come from UA-cam and go to my insta so I think that’s it ASWELL :)
@@Bluebescuits That makes sense, definitely seems to help having an audience across platforms like that. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts :) and it's positive to see you doing so well on there!
I hate the fact that I was growing my account very well last year but sINCE I'm very lazy I stopped posting for a LONG time,,, now I'm trying to reach the same numbers like I used to 😿😿😿
def gotta agree with the follower count lolol i have like 10k from my past activity when i was 12 and its been so hard to grow since ive been busy :'^D
the tips a lot of videos show is to just advertise your art on your other social medias to gain followers on your art account and like... I don't have a lot of followers on either!
I have 1 year worth of a background in PR. Think making posts weekly on behalf of groups/companies with a small community. I got bored and made a fake post on reddit and found chat gbt is really, really good (scarily good) at picking up buzzwords, trendy topics, and ect. That ONE post legit doubled my karma as someone who never posts and typically only comments. I did this as an experiment to see how good Ai is at being an influencer and I'll be damned if Ai is the best influencer. I wonder what would happen if a current art channel were to adapt using chat gbt descriptions to boost analytics if it would have a more explosive or deadened effect. If you try/already tried this feel free to share the results/data?
The "sketch account" example is so good!!! i often doodle way more than completing actual full pieces of art so I'll def consider trying this out
Here's an idea if you dont wanna manage more than one account keep posting doodles on stories and have them saved in highlights or smth.
@@reyrb6011and for artists on UA-cam, simply post your doodles and try to arrange them, this is a bit harder but it makes your channel more neat.
@@reyrb6011 I AGREE highlights r so fun to look at i go thru every artists highlighlights fr
@@reyrb6011thank you. my way of drawing isn't complex but in a AVERAGE range. :3

You are correct , the only way poeple see things in the hashtag is by following it now and getting post related to it , yt hashtags work a lot better
YES!I went to check that filter and is gone how am i gonna find small artists?!

Sorry I didn’t respond until now- my UA-cam thing isn’t showing when I get comments
tysm for this info i think i now know why my art doesnt do well on instagram, i do post decently consistant and a lot of fanart a lot of which being things that are trending, but i constantly switch style, color pallete and brushesso i think that might be my problemn
that might be BUT like i said in the video its good to test around with styles and brushes and to branch out, especially if your a newer artists since your trying to find yourself, youre doing everything right , its just socail media sucks
Thank god there are subtitles, i couldn’t understand a thing from the way you spoke. No offense of course. Thanks to whoever that did the subtitles!
a lot of people let me know the same thing, ill be pronouncing things a lot better in the next one
@bluebiscuits Subtitles are cool but your voice is nice! The way you speak is calming
*rudest comment ever* no offense though!
@@bingusslingus7020 i didn’t mean any rude intentions, English is not my native language and if English is not spoken clear or with a thick accent, i can not understand it
on a completely unrelated topic i love ur voice sm
ive started posting more on pinterest lately and this is very helpful!
Anything but Pinterest 😭 it’s not very interactice
You got find place share I’m working on sharing my art and start up my channel 🥺🙂
Golden advice here, thank you ✨️
I just opened my art account and i was so confused to get things started this gave me clearer ideas !
Thank you very much for this video Bloo!! ♥
I honestly feel that it will help me a lot, to be able to use my social networks in a better way, I thank you very much, you have always been my favorite artist, I love all your works, and I love the help that your videos give me! UwU
Thank you!! I feel like the algorithm hates me, because I've barely gotten anywhere as in, 2-3 months now? as I am trying to make my au (undertale au) to be known. I always drop some info, plus I upload the comic on a different page compared to my tiktok, but I have the same username and everything you mentioned. I just rather make related content there, as that can usually attract attention and lead people to investigate on what you have. I hope miracles exist and I'll be seen with my hard work :)
Thank you so much for encouraging me!
Now i feel more motivated to keep going as a artist!🤯😆
You got this just keep working on your art 😊
@@Mrmysterious-dj1ov I will keep that in mind!!!
Thanks a lot!:D
@@fushi564 your welcome 🤗
Hey thanks for this video! I’m not going to college and I’m trying to work on being an artist/animator full time! Thank you!💖💖
video starts at 2:21
Thank you
Thank you so much for this video! This really helps a lot! I'm kind of struggling with Instagram at the moment..and I already quickly burned myself out!
Thank you so much, I’ve been doing art for two years now and I really would like to grow my audience 😭
I’d like share my art to 👍
Thank you for this video, i might try to publish videos of how my animations look like as sketches. 🥰
WAKE UP YALL THE QUEEN HAS POSTED! 🎉❤
thank you so much for making this!! ive been thinking about starting a channel for my art, so this will help a lot. ❤❤
oo you should def
Go for it 🙂
I'll say this: thats probably the first sponsor ever that ive seen and im actually going to try it out. This couldnt have come at a better moment (altough im watching this months later from posting lol) because just today i was struggling with making a decent looking commission sheet ^^
Always a good day when blue uploads
thats so sweet thank you
There’s some really great points here that I’ve not seen mentioned before! 😮
YAAYY bluebiscuits posted! 🎉
thanks this is super helpful!! I tend to post art of more obscure or smaller fandoms (webtoons, death note) so that may have been where I flopped. Excited to add these changes in!
This will help a lot and am definitely going to follow these! Thank you, Blue ☺
Aaaah it's hard to gain visibility these days and it's quite demotivating sometimes, but I'll keep going !! Thanks for this video
Even if get share with few people if people like what do and encourage you it still a wonderful thing 😊
Extrañe tus vídeos, me alegro mucho que hayas vuelto 🌸👌
Such a good video, I noticed that UA-cam like to choose whether they going to put it out there or not it's very annoying for someone who is very small and already get maybe 1 view a day, the bad videos do good and the good videos do bad.
Thank You, Blue I've been starting growing as an Artist because I had lack of fans and supports so yeah❤🎉
Ty so much for this video :). I have a yt channel and it's not rlly preforming well because I BARELY post, I literally go months without posting because making just one piece of art takes me a lot of time. Also, I have so many things I want to post abt, but because my parents see my UA-cam channel and stuff, I can't really post about stuff I'm passionate about since they're going to ask about the things I'm drawing 😭.
i get that, have you considered going under a different username ? you should do the things youre passionate about even if that means not showing it to people close to you
@@Bluebescuits I mean, ur right. I just posted a video yesterday abt a drawing I did for a popular show on the internet rn, and I just did it because I’m just tired of not posting for a while, and I still have a lot more work to do since posting one thing abt a fandom isn’t going save my channel, but thx for the advice! I’ll see if I can change my username into something more memorable, but at the moment idk because I have a hard time coming up with usernames lol
I just start my channel today 🎉😊
Shes back after 2 months yay :D
HAHAHAH dont call me out like that XD
@@Bluebescuits XD
My first thought too :D 😂
Oh fascinating! As someone who is trying to grow on several platforms, I take this video as great advice, I better take notes!
Dang they must have paid CRAZY for a 2 minute+ sponsor segment
one of my main struggles is my artstyle changing too much, but ill get a stable one one day
love when you post bloo
Commenting as an artist trying to grow 🎉 You guys got this 🥰
Bloo out here like helping us strive! Thanks Bloo !✨
I do all these, and taken everyone else’s advice, yet my engagements is going down with every post and my followers list has remained the same amount of numbers for half a year. I’m sick of people saying to just be happy with my numbers, bc *news flash*, I am forever greatful, but what’s wrong with wanting to grow more, esp when I want to make a business at some point?
I gain lots of attention but rarely follows. It’s gotten to the point where I’ve given up trying to improve.
This might come across as a little vent but this is just my genuine experience.
I've struggled with a lot of depression and my own personal setbacks in life since 2020, i used to post my art before that on insta and had like 500 followers but not rly any identity or consistency and since then due to my irl problems i completely stopped posting and became a passive consumer of other's art on social media and ever since then i havent had the courage to restart I've just been afraid and during this time I've also seen much better artists than myself, my lack of experience of these 4 yrs, the whole scene of nfts and ai... like i am discouraged beyond repair. Idk what will motivate me, also the fact that i dont really have any friends to encourage me and support me idk how to get the strength to get back to doing art when it once used to be the thing i loved doing the most
LETS GOOOO BLUE UPLOAD ❤
Thank you for all the tips Blue < 3 I´m trying to create more art content on social media now, and all this info will be very helpful on my artist journey.
Thanks for your candid advice! I'll be sure to put it to use ^^
I'm so happy I stumbled onto your UA-cam channel ugh 😭
yay my fav artist posted
Well, im just start posting my art. Well, its gonna be rollercoaster for my emotion.
your character and voice is so addictive 🤭
This is helpful 💗 your tutorial for everything really helps :3 trying to improve more in UA-cam and art
Thank you for posting this! Been trying to revive my art acc but so much ahs changed lately
I hate that I don't have any interaction in my draws ANYTHING, just dumb bot accounts 😢
All the management of social media it's always ending really difficult to me
Please give us tips on how to shoot reels of digital art!
I agree since it is the current main way to reach new people 😒😞 I really miss the time when pictures were the main pieces to follow
Ideas occurred to me while listening to you, thank you very much ♡
Thank you so much! Now I know to have shared user names instead of different ones…along with several other things. Glad I found this video before my social media presence got more confusing😅
I plan on doing more oc work
I have a lot of ideias in my brain and I just need to put them into work
For example
My main oc will be from the future, he loves stuff from the 20 and 21st centuries, he tried to create a time machine of his own to visit the past, but in the process he gained acess to different realities, when he travels to some universe, he takes control of an alternate version of himself, and absorbs their memories and personalities
Thats a fun concept for creating different versions of my main oc
Blu: today's sponsor is kittl
Me who tried to use it: Oh, WHEN ARE THEY GONNA FIX THAT THING. I CANT EVEN CHANGE THE FONT WITHOUT IT CRASHING!
honestly… I wish there was a button that disables you from seeing views, followers, and like counts. I need to teach myself not to be affected by numbers when I don’t get the result I want
I know insta has an option where you can hide the likes you receive ! I also think twitter (X) has something similar (?) I’ve seen some artists have no likes visible on there a while ago :D
THIS IS PERFECT ❤ I WAS JUST LOOKING FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS
thanks for ur informative video! Im struggling to be consistent lately since Im taking course but I will start reporting once a week from my old works!
TY so muchh i needed it! and love ur artstyle
Thanks for the information! I take a lot of notes. I really apreciate your advices.
Does anyone have any tips on how to make people care for your OCs? 🖤 I’m a relatively new to posting OCs, so I don’t really know when to share stuff about them and how to make people care. 😅
I think as long as the art you draw of them is emotive, people will remember and soon become curious who the recurring character in your art is! I never draw fan art and nor do most of my mutuals, so there absolutely is an audience out there who prefer original art 💗
another comment said that slowly dropping hints about their story through their art over time will make people more interested in them and get attached! really focus on showing off their personalities! drawing a simple pose is ok for something like a character sheet but try and do more creative things to show off ur OCs normal activities and stuff! like if they love reading draw them sleeping surrounded by books drooling on the pages or if theyre aggressive show them gripping someones shirt with their fist about to beat tf out of them haha! something that does really well also is humor and relatability so people share it and are like "she just like me fr" LMAO if you can find a way to incorporate those things i think it should help! also random but sketches usually do really well too
i started drawing and thx for the help. and thx for putting the sponsers in the begining
instagram has me kinda shadowbanned on both my art accounts, not even a single like from people who don´t follow me, not even the bots come to say to dm my art to their accounts, and I don't know why, I don't have anything that goes against Instagram rules.
if you dont post for a while your piece wont end up on others feeds, its like a light shadowban, if you start being a little more active it should help
im sorry this has happended to you
- Omg It's so hard for me to make out what you're saying sometimes, probably because I'm not a native English speaker... I absolutely love your art tho, thank you for the video! 🤍
nah I'm a native speaker and multilingual and she's just very mumbly and fast-talking. Good content in the video but needs to be in writing :')
Thank you!!! this is motivating me to really try as I want to do something with my art and I want to grow! I have mostly just drawn OC art without even thinking about how people look at them and just go, "oh who is this?" that and also I post like once in a blue moon Very informational video thank you again!
Video starts at 2:30
Appreciate the video and you have such a great style! Your engagement % (likes per post vs follower count) is probably the highest I've ever seen for an art account!
I guess it's from the community aspect/engaging with your audience as much as possible but it's very rare to see that high, so I'm curious if you think you do anything different to most artists to achieve that? :)
thats sweet thank you
@@Bluebescuits Thanks for the reply! Oh sorry, I meant your engagement on your IG, even on your image/carousel posts the engagement likes/comments is super high!
Or did you mean you post tutorials on IG stories/reels then? And perhaps that makes your community more engaged across the board? :)
@@Matt-fo4gg oooooo ok yeah that makes sense, my IG is pretty active. I think it’s just the amount I post or what I post, and a lot of people come from UA-cam and go to my insta so I think that’s it ASWELL :)
@@Bluebescuits That makes sense, definitely seems to help having an audience across platforms like that. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts :) and it's positive to see you doing so well on there!
I hate the fact that I was growing my account very well last year but sINCE I'm very lazy I stopped posting for a LONG time,,, now I'm trying to reach the same numbers like I used to 😿😿😿
Your from video got me started as an artist!
As for this video it will be useful for me, soon
def gotta agree with the follower count lolol i have like 10k from my past activity when i was 12 and its been so hard to grow since ive been busy :'^D
the tips a lot of videos show is to just advertise your art on your other social medias to gain followers on your art account and like... I don't have a lot of followers on either!
I have 1 year worth of a background in PR. Think making posts weekly on behalf of groups/companies with a small community. I got bored and made a fake post on reddit and found chat gbt is really, really good (scarily good) at picking up buzzwords, trendy topics, and ect. That ONE post legit doubled my karma as someone who never posts and typically only comments. I did this as an experiment to see how good Ai is at being an influencer and I'll be damned if Ai is the best influencer.
I wonder what would happen if a current art channel were to adapt using chat gbt descriptions to boost analytics if it would have a more explosive or deadened effect. If you try/already tried this feel free to share the results/data?
mehhhehehe I was here before all of you. Fear meh. Anyway hi blueeee I was just trying to find a video based on this
speedyy, i hope the video is able to help
@@Bluebescuits it is thank you! Also I'm inlove with your artstyle!
TY I NEEDED THIS RIGHT NOW!!!!!
I needed a video tutorial like this
I’m definitely taking notes :)
