Just like last year, instead of the ARTvsARTIST challenge I decided to make a collage of most of my works from 2021. As usual, I've been trying to follow the rules by drawing something widely popular or fashionable at the moment, but I've also been drawing more stuff that I find interesting so you probably won't be able to recognize all characters. I also made a banner for my other social media.
As for the number of my Instagram followers and likes, 2021 wasn't so generous. After I reached 500 followers last year, I've been struggling with 50 new followers who have been subscribing and unsubscribing and dancing around the "magical" number of 550 for more than a year, which was surprising and hard to explain. Was it the new algorithm or did my drawings drop in quality? Many recent posts barely got 15 likes and it's still confusing. Anyway, it looks like this:
This may seem like I'm complaining, but I'm actually confused because I'm not sure how this works anymore. There's this quote "It's not just about numbers, it's about content, trust, interest and engagement" and I guess I'm doing something wrong. I want to believe I'm doing my best, although constant poor reception of some of my proudest works doesn't make much sense. True, I have my regular job that often interferes with my drawing plans, so this is just a hobby that doesn't bring me any financial profit at all. I shouldn't be concerned or even write about this issue, but I follow several artists who earn money this way and they also have similar problems.
Whatever all that means, it won't stop me from doing what I've been doing all this time. I feel thankful for all your support, comments, likes, reposts etc. and I hope to continue keeping your interest in my future works.
