Question

If I have more deviations, do I have a better chance of getting noticed? Do I not have enough deviations? I only have 56.

Community Answer

The more you have, the more there is to view. Fifty-six is better than five, and should give any viewers a lot of content at which to look.

Question

I have been on deviantART for 4 years, I have very few favs, and the only person who comments is my best friend. Should I leave DA?

Community Answer

It's actually your choice, but I encourage you to continue working, and try to improve your art. Lots of artists work for years without getting any recognition, so you are not alone. Try not to get discouraged.

Question

Why would I have page views, but no downloads?

Community Answer

It may be because your art needs some improvements. The higher the art quality, the more attention it may attract.

Question

How do I get feedback on deviantArt?

Community Answer

Ask for it. Most people will only say “cute” or “looks good” unless you say that you want feedback/constructive criticism. It doesn’t always work, but being direct about what you're looking for is the best way to go about it.

Question

I don't really have art, what can I do to get my writing noticed?

Community Answer

Find interesting topics to write about. Try focusing on a certain age and category, and base it on something original and appealing, or something that most people like these days. (Which so happen to be things like historic fiction, science fiction, dystopias, etc.)

Question

What is the best tablet for drawing?

Community Answer

It really depends on what your preference is for size. There is no "best" tablet. Try avoiding getting the bigger ones, unless you like lots of room to work with. Consider going for something small first, like a Wacom Pen & Touch (small).

Question

Everyone hates my art. How do I get them to like it?

Community Answer

Try to look at popular artists, and see what common factors they all share. Also, it is very important to constantly work and improve your art. You can find tutorials all over internet on how to draw this and that.

Question

How do I get more watchers on DeviantArt?

Almatheus Valentine

Community Answer

Improve your art, be inspired by the best deviants, be creative, submit content often to keep your gallery fresh, buy a premium membership, be sociable and friendly, interact with your watchers to keep them interested, star deviations you like, watch people you get inspired by, participate in art competition events (improves exposure), send constructive opinions as feedback to people, reply to people who star your deviation or watch you, and join well-known groups to show your art to hundreds of people (for example, the #Art-Zone).

Question

People are liking my art, but none of my writing has any comments. How can I get feedback on my writing?

Community Answer

Ask them for it! Tell them somewhere on your page that you want feedback, and see what happens. If nobody is looking at your writing, perhaps you could mention it in the caption of one of your art pieces. Chances are that if they like your art, they will be interested in your writing too.

Question

I've had a deviantArt account for a while now. I didn't use it for a couple years and came back to find most my old friends or watchers had gone. How can i rebuild my presence there again?

Community Answer

People tend to enjoy active accounts. If you haven't posted in a while, then they might think you aren't returning. Try to post daily if you can, even if it is sketches or plans you have for future art, they'll know you'll be coming back. Also, try to communicate with people and reach out, you might meet some new friends.
