Nobody likes my Art

Here’s an Idea that could help creators 👇

1. Be a Consumer before you are a Creator

“Nobody likes my Art”

“Nobody Sees it” 

“How can I get attention for my work?”

“How can I build a product that others love”?

Simple.

Be a Consumer of the thing you want to create before you are a Creator.


Why? 🤔

🌎 To make great art or products takes “insider” knowledge of what resonates with people.

👥👥 You need to be a part of that ‘community’ to know what speaks and what’s missing. Aka a Consumer. 

🧠 This gives you (nuanced) knowledge of how things work, the stories and the problems.

📢 Then, you make things that SPEAKS to YOU in that community. If it does, it will for others in that same community.

Example:

– Guy 1 who loves Pokémon.

– Makes cool new Pokémon character art and shares it.

– People in that community like it because it’s authentic. Guy 1 gets famous.


As opposed to:

– Random artist guy who does not like Pokémon, sees guy 1 making cool Pokémon Art (and getting attention)

– Replicates it. and fails. 

– Why? It’s NOT AUTHENTIC.

2. How to Make Cool Stuff (Key Takeaways)

🔨 Solve your own problems and make stuff around that.

🍿 Make art that YOU yourself consume. 

✏️ Make stuff that you would watch, see and use. NOT what you like to make. (Ex – I like making comics, but I don’t read much comics)

3. Favourite Quote of the Week

“Remain Calm, Adapt, Overcome”.

– a Military Saying

That’s it for this week folks!
See you in the next one 🙂

Best,
Kesh.
