Hey friend

About notes and art

It’s okay to want to get notes on your art. It’s okay to want your art to be reblogged. As long as you aren’t guilt tripping people into reblogging it, you’re fine.

Wanting your art to get notes doesn’t mean that youre going to slip into this mentality that the notes on your art equals it’s worth.

It simply just means you want your art to get exposed! That’s all. What’s wrong with wanting your art exposed? I mean, heck, if I drew something I am proud of I’d want it to get around to!

That isn’t necessarily a bad thing you know!

It isn’t guilt tripping to want people to reblog your art nor is it to want your stuff to get more notes. It’s only guilt tripping if it’s like “ if you dont reblog this you are scum ” or “ if you dont reblog this I will [insert something that causes harm to self] ”

If you want to draw fanart to get followers and notes, go ahead.

If you want to draw your own stuff, go ahead.

I’m going to be honest here. Likes are not as good as reblogs.
Why?

Likes means it indicates someone saw it. That’s it. One person. One like, one person.

Reblogs means one person saw it AND is sharing it to their blog and people who follows them, and if THOSE people reblog, they show THEIR followers, and then THEIR followers- you get the point.

While it is true that Likes are not as good as Reblogs, you shouldn’t focus on getting notes for your art.

Like…say. You made a drawing. It got notes. Hooray!

but you shouldn’t be like “ I’m going to make art because I want more notes! ”

it should be more of an after you draw kind of thing. It’s natural for people to look at their work after they are done and think “ Man I hope this gets exposed ”. but you shouldn’t make art and while doing it in the process think; “ I NEED NOTES I NEED NOTES I NEEEEEED IT ”

So basically
Likes are not as good as reblogs in terms of exposure

Its okay to want notes/exposure

Its not okay to guilt trip for notes/exposure

It’s not okay to make art for the sole purpose of getting notes/exposure

Make art for the sake of making art. Appreciate notes. Encourage reblogs. Don’t guilt trip for reblogs. Help artists out, reblog for them. Likes are discouraged because of it’s limited effects.
