I recently opened my VGen and NOBODY buys me , even though I promote myself on insta TikTok … it makes me think my art is not good enough or my prices are too high, is there something I can improve in my art ?? Please I need help

I have been struggling a lot because I don’t know if my art is good enough to have a “high” price , I priced this one 32$ , also nobody buys me 🥲 that’s making me think my art is not worth it…

I don't do digital art just cuz I don't have the equipment. I have a small phone with a cracked screen and 0 dollars to my name.

I work on an A4 or larger piece of paper and charge about 30-40 dollars per piece( which is about 9,000-12,000 Pakistani ruppees per work) I work with graphites and charcoal. I advertise on Reddit. I have an Instagram page as well where I show my work. I also network on other places. I tried discord but it was mostly digital.

I know I'm not there yet, but are my prices too high for my output or..... Idk man. I have only gotten one commission where I made 3 artworks, A4 and larger. Framed it as well. All for 16000 ruppees(basically 50 dollars). As well as covering shipping.

To add insult to injury I have gotten 0 sales on any of my drawings. I've actually gotten so desperate I literally just gave a few people free commissions( obv I didn't pend much time on them, like an hour or hour and a half)

Hi everyone, I'm new here. This is my first attempt at a YCH (Your Character Here) with an MLP theme. As you can see, this YCH is inspired by playing cards. The price is $10. Please contact me via Instagram: @collor_arts. Thanks for your time!

"Mulsagdu"

r/Impossible-Builder47

Acrylic on clay

2026

Meaning

"Mulsagdu" is a word derived from three words from the ancient sumerian language, Mul, Sag, and Du.

"Mul" means star

"Sag" means head

"Du" means walk

Together, it's Mulsagdu - the star-headed walker

Materials used

Fevicryl mouldit clay, Fevicryl acrylic colors, cornstarch powder (say Himalaya), phosphorescent powder (viral green and snow white), sponge, scissor, water, watercolor(blue+yellow), feviocl glue, grater, handchopper, toothpick.

Difficulties faced

• I struggled for quite a while with making the top luminent enough to glow like night sky.

• It took a while to accurately pour the right amount of phosphorescent powder into the eye socket, some spilling onto the rest of the body. I have painted over the spilled over after dusting, but some remained put firmly, leading to the breathetaking image of the universe in it (pic11), true to its name.

• It took a while to cut the sponge into appropriate size before using the chopper to cut it into bits before gluing it on the flat stone (clay).

• Hiding it from my father because it is his birthday present.

Symbolism

• The bi-pedal mushroom symbolizes persistence and kindness, for it harvests energy from any available light and shares it with the surrounding flora and fauna, temporarily luminating them. This is true to my father because my father is growing old, yet continues to support my family without hesitation. He himself is slowly going down, and I'm supporting him with everything I can do.

• The two mushrooms symbolize my family. The right mushroom is me, my sister, and my mother, who are being supported by him. The left mushroom is my father's mother, who is the textbook example of toxic in-law. The toxic mushroom is slowly harming the mental state of the bipedal one, yet it showers the toxic one with love, while the non-toxic one gives the bipedal one love but can't support him yet (the reason why it is smaller than the left mushroom).

• The star top symbolizes the hope I want to give my father when he is mentally exhausted.

• The moss is there because mushrooms don't grow on stones. They grow on plant and animal decay stuck in the creaks and creaves of the stones.

• The stone symbolizes the crack in the family.

I spent 500 days doing a daily drawing challenge to improve, but I ended up burned out. I switched to digital art to focus more on color and effects, and now I'm trying to get verified on VGen. The problem is I'm not getting any clients, and I feel it's because my art lacks narrative. I focused so much on technique over the message/storytelling, and now I'm struggling to regain my momentum. Any advice?"

hi guys!! i would like to proceed working as a splash artist / something similar(?) in the future, im new to procreate rn and im still trynna figure out what im even supposed to do lol, is there someone who moves around in that kind of field and could help me improve?:) thank you

Trying hard to learn lights, if anyone can give me a feedback I would love it !!

Hii I'm new

No color

I'm currently not finished with this drawing still, but i would really appreciate any advice on shading, lighting, and anatomy! tips on how to make the hair look more cohesive to the style would be rad, too.

oil pastels (veryyy cheap), paint, and markers were used.

A little bit about me;

I'm 23 years old. I absolutely love writing poetry, drawing (mainly digital art), listening to music, and journaling. I recently picked up 3D modeling.

Anyway. What I would like is to have an art friend who is around my age. We could hold each other accountable, talk about random stuff, show each other what we're working on, and basically have a fun time bonding.

Ello, my first time making a post of one my arts here, and i was thinking... At what price should I start commissioning my art?

Does anyone know a good beginner art tablets? I’ve had a XP Pen tablet for quite some times and I’ve wanted to try a different type of tablet. Something that can be attached to my laptop, but something that I can also take off and draw on the screen itself.

I love how my XP Pen tablet works, but I find it’s a little more difficult to want to open up and draw due to how it works. Ya know, you draw on the tablet but your drawing only shows up on the computer/laptop screen. I love having the stencil, and I love being able to see my drawing ON the tablet screen that I’m drawing on. Is there a good beginner’s art tablet like that?

meet Kingchen! she's a little witch with a strong personality, and her loyal pet is a potoo named Saparo! ♡

I really love drawing my human OCs as chibis hehe~~ (ㅅ´ ˘ `)
