RE: BioMech Dragon. Ink on paper.
Hello VerySpider, thanks for your interest in my art. Yes, I am very much ready and willing to listen to all the tips you have to help me gain more audience here. Much appreciated. ❤️😁👍
Yay okay! Well, to start with, it would be great if people can get to know YOU, as a person more than just to know you as an artist! For example, when people browse Steemit, they see your post, and they come in and they only get to see maybe one or two pictures with a little text with it, so they can't get a good feel about the you from these...
So, what I would recommend is that you put more text and maybe more pictures. The pictures can be step by step, and /or close ups of your favourite areas of the work.
Let's use this post as an example!
First part - opening paragraph: say what the picture is about VERY BRIEFLY. for example: "Biomecha dragon tattoo design, ROARING!!! I chose a side-view of this creature because I had wanted to show the roaring maws with its teeth visible :D Also thought that the side-view would work great with the snaking body of this dragon :>"
Second part - first picture (you can choose to display a section of the picture here, maybe something that will also work great as the thumbnail view to your post) or you can just use the finished picture as this can be your main art!
Third part - main paragraph: say what you feel about the picture's subject, like what were the challenges, what parts did you enjoy the best, how did you come up with the different composition and ideas, anything that makes the post interesting and personal, basically
Fourth part - second picture (step by step shots work well here!)
Fifth part - secondary paragraph: say technical stuff here, what kind of pencils/pens/markers you were using, canvas / paper type, how long did it take you approximately, etc.
Sixth part - third picture (if you havent dropped the final version of the picture, this is a good place to do it) (or more close ups, if you had chosen to use the final picture as the first picture of the post)
Seventh part - Wrap it up! a small paragraph about how you feel about the whole picture now, for example: "I have always liked the combination of fantasy creatures with biomechanoid interpretations! There's something strange and magical about the thought of such creatures :D Let me know if you have other similar ideas in this vein that you think would be cool as a tattoo design? I am interested in your thoughts :>"
....
Something like that? If you can ! :> I think it'll make your posts more appealing to people !!! :D I'd like to see more success on Steemit for you, @sylvain-dousset!!!
Ok 😅 it seems like a lot of writing and explaining to do when all I want is do my drawings and post them when they're done, for the world to see.
But ok, ok, ok 😁 I'm going to do it.
Thank you for the time you took to answer me. ❤️👍😊
i know it might seem like a lot but really, it is not that much work once you're used to it ! i hope it will work for you, because it seems to have worked for me :> I'm earning at least $1 per post :> Your stuff is so wonderful and should get better payouts!!!
