Oh definitely. And not just story, but words attached to the art in general. It’s a bit counter-intuitive because artists are usually taught if not working on comics that the art should speak for itself. And to other artists it does generally, but people who don’t practice art? They are actually les…

What do you think is more important marketing/advertising your artwork or the artwork itself?

Off Topic

I just mean insofar as selling your work in some way to make income. Marketing is king over the artwork and skill itself. I’m not that heartless lol. I have a lot of stories I want to tell with my art but if I don’t know how to market or have the money to market with some company then you gotta …

Oh man I love this topic. Gonna bring up my gallerist one last time, my gallerist has worked as a creative director and art director for major businesses and has her Masters in Illustration. Here’s the kicker, she can’t draw to save her life and she still gets work from clients because she’s so prof…

Sharing (online I assume) and exposure is marketing. Most artists aren’t gonna be able to hire a company to advertise for them. This is under the context of not even having that ability. Marketing is expensive, but much less expensive if you do so on your own. You don’t have to be the best but learn…

Dude tbh we could have had a good discussion about the ins and outs of marketing art but you wanted to come at me wrong from the jump. I’m sorry but I’m just in a foul mood now. None of this had to happen and you have good points that we could actually discuss but like I don’t get it dude. What’s yo…

With all due respect my dude you don’t even work in the field. And FYI I’m a freelance copywriter as well, SO I do already market my own stuff. The only person who came in here guns blazing was you and honestly there was no need for it. You don’t like the topic? Don’t post, or simply express your …

Oh it’s good advice in my opinion. By god I wish someone told me when I started to learn how to market my work beyond just the art. I had to learn from my gallerist. But we can differ on that, I’m fine with that. Yes. Artists on a professional level make a product(art) and sell that product. Arti…

One. I say hobbyist and professional as meaning you either do or don’t want to make a full time income off of art. Hobbyists in this instance don’t really care for it but just drawing for themselves which is completely fine. Echo chamber? I asked opinions and shared mine that’s all. As far as m…

I definitely think it’s a one size fits all answer. Products hardly get anywhere without some form of marketing. Otherwise you must rely on the luck of getting picked up by someone with means to market your stuff for you, and even then that is precluded by you posting your artwork enough to be notic…

Well, if it’s your first few times getting a product out in the masses I’d expect hitches. But the beauty of art is that it’s subjective. For instance, everyone hears about Rob Liefield’s anatomy blunders and how bad he is. But for every one person downing his art work he has 2-4+ fans to back his a…

Yes and here is my opinion on the subject. Marketing is king. I don’t care how good your artwork gets or your story— marketing beats out skill. My thoughts here are as follows guys and gals: With freelance art and even sometimes industry artwork (which is usually marketed because corporations have…

I’m speaking in terms of you having a product to begin with. Kickstarter is just a new way of making snake oil for a lot of people.
