How to help an artist:
Ditch the like button
No, seriously. If you don’t have money to help out an artist financially, the second best thing is to reblog all the things you like. While liking it does tell the artist that “hey I really like this!” It does jack shit because the only ones who will see that are me and you.
Why do you think there are so SO many posts made by people that are literally summed down to “please reblog my artwork I need the notes!”? Because no one reblogs artwork. Unless you’re a ridiculously popular blog with thousands of followers, you’ll only end up getting 1 or no reblogs.
SO HELP OUT ARTISTS AND PLEASE REBLOG OUR ART, BECAUSE WE REALLY NEED THE VIEWS ;V;)/
Friendly reminder. Reblog it if u dig it :)
^^^^^Allllll of this 👏👏👏
Hey this goes for fanfic writers on tumblr too!!!
I have a habit of reblogging original tumblr art, not because I want to help out the artist, but because I LIKE THE ART. But, ( a big but) I post my own art too, and if it gets ONE HEART I smile…..and that smile is priceless.
A lot of stuff I hit the heart, partially to say I like it or understand, but if it’s really good, I hit the reblog because advertising is better than nothing else…
And sometimes, like in @theartofmichaelwhelan’s case, you already know his work, just maybe didn’t realize it….
