You know ... This should be made into a STICKY because each one of you gave the reader good answers about the viewing and commenting. It will help future artists who come in here and does not have a clue on how to attract viewers and comments. What to do or not do... Some of your answers are t. i. c. (:m_tongue2:) others are downright solid and honest and the rest was of varying qualities.
As for me, I am not sure how to go about getting viewing and commenting, or rating but I do know if the art work is very interesting enough, people will comment on it. I have come across artists in other galleries whose art works are so :woot: that I am like this: I've often wondered how they did it and try to emulate them using my own style. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
I am not complaining tho... I haven't been around that long, so people are not familiar with my particular style of rendering which is rather amateurish at best. Still I can see a progression of improvement in my rendering each time I post. There has been some backward slippage but heck, for each step I take forward in improvement, there's bound to be about 9 steps back. :lol:
Take your time, do the art work for yourself, post, look at others, study them, analyze the trend of those that get the most comments and ratings and see how yours compare with them, then try to build up your skills so that you will improve and it shows in your renderings. And if you get a comment or rating, great!!! If not, don't get discouraged. Just try again. Do art YOUR way.
