POV: You are a small artist on social media. // drawing + commentary video

Wow a ten minute long video. :0
Please allow me to complain about social media again 🙏. Being a small artist on the Internet world really sucks!
I asked people on Instagram how it feels to be a small artist and their thoughs about artists on social media. Looks like we are all in the same boat!
Now people on KZbin, whatvare your opinions? I would love to know! Also if you like my content, please consider following along my art journey ❤️

keep working hard and you'll get recognition don't give up!!!!

[@cheesecurdd]

I feel this so much! I was fortunate enough back when instagram had the "recent post" but now how it is, it is so hard to engage with new and small artists. Don't give up! We have to keep going!

[@sevenhundredhours]

Don’t give up 💪🏾

[@peonnes]

The struggle is so real omg. Getting like no engagement whatsoever--or in my case, artificial engagement by Instagram bots--hurts so much! I'm glad I'm not alone, hope your art journey goes well too 🙌

[@Maoncake]

Let's keep going! Never give up!

[@edsidou9822]

I wish there was a space for small artists like cara, which is now pretty much back in the grave. A dc server would do wonders

[@m4pvr8]

Well, trying is good but if you keep trying you'll be successful artist someday❤

I took a look at your stuff on your site and Twitter and you have a fantastic artstyle! It's true that things are a real struggle for creatives in this day and age for a million reasons. But don't let the small numbers and the like stifle that flame you have going on. You have a memorable and clean art style and can clearly render really well. Your comics are lovely and your animations were/are really well done too! Expressive, good choreography and motions and creativity. (your animation meme compilation shows improvement but even the oldest ones there are so nice to look at! Needless to say, I do hope that you get to the point where you gain even more organic and genuine recognition for what you do, and I hope no matter what you keep drawing to make you happy!

[@Maoncake]

Thank you for your words! I really appreciate hearing them. I'm actually surprise that someone will still see my old animations haha! Kinda embarrassed since they are old but hey at least they finally got some attention 😤👍

[@BreDrawz]

Amazing art! I hope you get the recognition you deserve! This was a great video to listen to as I drew haha! 🖤

[@Maoncake]

Thank you! I'm glad to hear so. I will make more soon ^^ if you have any topic suggestions feel free to let me know!

[@jnx4486]

I love how pretty your art is, It's obvious you put a lot of effort to get the skill level you have now, and its really sadening that you don't get the recognition you deserve, And I can't wait for your comic to come out, I'll be sure to give it a read once it comes out and I hope sucess finds you

[@Maoncake]

Aw thank you so much! It's okay, at least I have you and some others here ❤️

Whenever I search for advice, the creators always say having 1k followers is small. I dream of 1k followers. It feels like no one sees my stuff. I just want more than 1 like.

[@Maoncake]

Hello! As a small creator I feel you as well. 100 is already impossible to me. And it really is if you draw for yourself only. As for my other account where I have 1k+followers (by clout chasing which you can see on my other video) it feels different. I won't say that 1k is small at this moment, but if you are interested I can make a video about this topic where I may explain things more clearly :)

[@trush6871]

imo, as someone who posts art/ animations on yt and social media as an "archive", but I've learned internet fame is very very hard to come by, don't feel bad if a few posts don't do as well as some others, keep pushing and you'll get there one day, I believe in you x

[@Maoncake]

Thank you so much!
