I do a bit of drawing, a bit of music, a bit of voice acting. Give me something to do.

Am I doing something wrong?

Posted by Kainlarsen - September 4th, 2023


I've been at this for over a year now; constantly drawing digitally, improving, learning... So why am I barely even acknowledged on here? I get so little traffic, and no feedback. It's really killing my confidence as an artist.

I know my work isn't bad (there are so many artists far better than myself, though), but nobody seems to even care one way or the other. I know there are millions of people on NG, but I really don't know what to do to get people's attention.


I just need to know that what I'm doing is on the right track. I'm not a young artist, my skills were very rusty before I got back into drawing. I want to know if what I'm doing is all worth it.

Id say your drawing is on the right track. Just need to engage more with the community. Check out the Art forum and participate in threads that strike your fancy. The Collaboration tab in the Community section is another good spot to get engagement. Best wishes!

Hey, thanks for the comment! Not as familiar with Newgrounds as other platforms,, but I'll do my best. I appreciate the help. :)

@Kainlarsen
I made a small slip up. The collab thing is in two parts. One is called "Help Wanted" at the bottom of the Community tab. Theother part goes by " Open for commissions? Looking to Collaborate? " tab on your profile page.

bro, i know hoe you feel. i barely have any fans, even tho im trying my hardest.
but we have to remember: our drawings are amazing. who cares about the fans? we're just a little new here. we can try communicating more. but i saw your art and DAMN its good

This is exactly what passionate artists feel: the truth of their own presemce and works.

...Pal, I am just already amazed that YOU ARE ACTUALLY ABLE TO DRAW, AND PLUS - IN SUCH A GOOD AND HOT-LIT QUALITY!!

I just thought, that this artstyle is pretty fitting with the mature side of DDLC: when there are spotlights of moon lights instead of ray of sunshines.

Belive in yourself, and never be insecure of your own path. Be yourself, and do what you want to do.

Keep this always in mind: whatever you draw, practise your drawing skills, sketching out of boredom, - it surely, surely evolbes your art skills. It is always like that, yet most of us do not notice it at all.

Thank you so much, mate! It's always great to hear from people who enjoy my work! :) I know I'm far from the best, but I have learned a lot from the last three years, and I hope that I'll keep improving. If you have any requests, or even want a commission, feel free to contact me.
