Looks awesome!!! I'm sorry I haven't commented in so long, but BOY do I love how you shade and draw stuff. Your paintings look so 3d-ish, it's amazing!!

And aaa I know the feeling! It was hard for me to find a good platform as well! I tried tumblr (terrible experience lmao), Deviantart and finally Instagram, and in the end I decided to only stay on Instagram. The platform is very nice so far, and there are many people from colors so I feel pretty comfortable here- The only thing that bother me are the way instagram crop pictures that are too big... But it is possible to post many pics at once so you can post zooms of your same drawing if you want people to see details :')

DÁMN You're right though we've been on here for 7 years, not 6 argh!! It's been so long indeed woah. Time flies so fast.
Anyway I hope you'll find a new platform asap :') I really want to keep seeing your art!!

re: oh xD Well, you can make an account without her knowing if that bothers you! What's more, you can remove people from your followers without them knowing (you can also put your account private so that only your followers van see your content). I thought that was pretty neat.
So yeah I guess there're many ways to avoid your mom on instagram if you feel weird about her seeing your art x)

For the love of God. DON'T get a Twitter. I've had an account since 2OI6, and most of the time checking my feed I've been unhappy there ever since. Unless you can get past the political sh!t, petty drama/controversies over dumb sh!t that won't even matter next week, opinionated a$$holes who all act the same, dumbass algorithms, the fact that your old posts disappear because you tweeted too much, etc. I suggest not getting it. The art community there however isn't so bad, it just gets overshadowed by controversial horse c'rap.

The only reason I haven't left is because I'm sorta stuck there. Twitter is like some drug addiction where you wanna stop using it but at the same time you can't go without it and then it leeches onto you like a parasite.

Anyway Instagram has kinda been the best experience for me, because I made my account private and only kept with my circle of friends and mutuals. Unless you want to go full public to advertise your art then that works too. Like Nanyalan said it sucks that they sometimes crop your stuff and degrade the quality so you gotta include close-ups. Also that site is full of dumb art reposters. But that's still better than anything on Twitter if you don't go to that side of Instagram

Re: ArtStation is more focused on building a portfolio with your work rather than being social or engaging in a community, which is why there are probably no comments. (I am interested in using that though)
And yes... all sites do kinda suck for art lol. It's pretty sad. I hope you'll find a site to move on to eventually...

I hate to say it, but on Twitter, even though the algorithm and most of the community sucks, you do have a higher chance of being noticed because your work gets retweeted. Maybe just don't follow anyone, or any opinionated accounts at least...? Idk, with Twitter you have to be careful, or your mental health gets affected pretty badly. If you do end up getting Twitter, I'd probably suggest not being so social there and just use it as an outlet to post work. But other than that... seriously, f'uck that place.

I’m glad that you’re still uploading after all these years. I’m definitely gonna follow you on whatever platform you choose next. :P
