What’s the best social for artists in your opinion? 🙇♀️
depends what you want to achieve with it.
if you want to grow a larger account, twitter i think is best. just has a lot of people who are not just artists. tiktok also, it's easy, but you will have no permanence if you're not consistent and unique in some way, if you have no voice, but that is all social media, really. but tiktok is so vapid and you will need to turn your art into content.
for me, before when i was consistently posting and interacting with my growing community on instagram, i grew nicely and it was good. that was years ago, the app was different.
if you just want a place to showcase your art then artstation is good. also cara.
bluesky is good too but i don't use it. i have an account and forgot abt it.
so.. i am not really the best person to ask
for me, i like to use tumblr the most.
i mainly use tumblr and twitter now. i treat them similarly. i post and then i leave. i don't care about growing or numbers or anything like that anymore on either platform. it's happier that way. i am an artist, not an entertainer. art is just my hobby, i don't need to draw and post every day like i did when i was a kid. and i don't even post a lot of my work at all.
here i respond a lot because i see my tumblr as not just an art blog but the only place i feel comfortable publicly talking to others bc there are not a lot of ppl here.
if ur posting ocs and stuff i hear tumblr is hard, so i don't recommend it. as a side thing, yeah, i like it!! i guess it is kinda my main one now, anyway, as i post the most publicly here.
but i will say, my instagram and my main twitter both got followers and stuff when my content on both of those is mainly oc content. my original artworks. i don't know if i would have found measurable success on tumblr with those same works.
again, im not trying to grow or build anything with my art social medias, i just post art and talk sometimes. when i was trying to grow, i posted almost every day, full illustrations. and i did interact a lot with comments and other artists. you can't just post and leave. you need to interact and build relationships outside of your account with other artists. i did all of that. so now i just post and leave bc i don't really care anymore for growing at all. of course i do still talk to other artists and build relationships with people, just not so much as i did before.
