EDIT: This post is inclusive to ALL art forms.
Likes can only go so far for artists. Artists may exclusively upload their artwork to tumblr, or don’t have the time to use other sites and prefer tumblr over deviantART due to its simplicity, but the tagging system can make it harder to navigate. Many artists on tumblr tag with high-traffic tags or use their own tags to prevent tag clogging which eventually become lost. That’s why it’s very important to reblog an artist’s work.
I’m not trying to push you to ruin your blog’s aesthetic or something, nor am I saying that “you must absolutely reblog your favourite artist’s work or you’re trash”, all I’m saying is if you truly want to support your favourite artist, instead of just liking their posts, try to reblog them once in a while. The more reblogs they receive, the more exposure/notes/followers they may receive, and it’s just one of the easiest ways to show you care about them.
*This does not mean to reblog unsourced artwork or works reuploaded to another person’s blog without permission (re:stolen). Nor does this mean to reblog artworks without the artist’s consent, even if this case is slim.
My followers and artist friends always ask me why my notes are so low despite having a sizable follower chunk…No truer words spoken, y'alls. It only takes a few likes and reblogs to help an artist out…
Its the truth. Help me out and anyone else I reblog.
That’s really important guys! Always reblog the artworks of the creators you really want to support!
You know people, support your favourite artists / creators.
It’s really easy: Reblog!!!
Liking + Reblogging gives artists an emotional boost! Boosts help inspire the artist, which leads to more work for you to like + reblog!
So, Liking + Reblogging is just as good for you fans as it is for we artists. :D
Not gonna lie, folks…artists live for reblogs. We’re alot like Tinkerbell and the whole clapping thing. Reblog to show you believe in us, or we cease to exist!
