Uhm ok, I can't upload anything right now, because devART won't let me, :/

SO I apologize for not uploading anything. I am drawing though FYI.

ANYWAYS. Life is dull.

ANNNND I may start taking requests on here or something. I don't know...

I haven't got any favorites or watchers from people outside of my little bubble, (all my current watchers), for over 3 months or something...

Any tips?

Requests! that will be awesome!

Tips for favs + watches
1. Put your art into lots of groups - ones allow all kinds of art!
2. Comment lots on different artwork from people you don't watch that way they might go and look oat your artwork!
3. Enter competitions that artists host good way of being noticed!
4. Draw fan art ( like avatar, or harry potter extra) I noticed that people on DA like that stuff that's just what I noticed don't know if it works or not!
5. Challenge yourself draw different things so you can get followers from all over ( so if you draw cats, artists who like cats will watch) Hope im making sense.


Here is info I got off the internet!

Steps

1 Upload often. Nobody will want to look at a page with nothing on it. Try keeping your page looking lively.
2 Visit other peoples pages. Comment, favourite and watch the people whose art you admire. They will most likely look at your page to thank you. You may even make new friends!
3 Use the 'Random Deviant/Deviation" button. Click either of these and they will take you to a random user or piece of artwork. Comment on either of these with your opinion but make it friendly; you don't want to make a bad impression. Add a few words of advice if you can.
4 Participate. Join in with contests that are run by the admins or even contests held by other members of the site. Groups are another great way to gain exposure on deviantART. Join and submit artwork to groups and comment/favorite other members' artwork.
5 Buy a premium membership. If you (or your parents) are willing to pay for a premium membership for deviantART, you will have advantages: including options to make your page more interesting, and the option to request critiques on your artwork. For your profile, you can add all of the widgets available and choose to show however many thumbnail pictures you want to be displayed. Not to mention that you can choose from over hundreds of journal skins to make your journal entries more decorative. Requesting critiques is important too, so that critics around the site will notice you and may help you to improve.
6 Submit your artwork to groups. If your deviations aren't being seen, even if you have a fair amount of watchers, submitting your art to a few well-known groups might help your artwork get noticed. A lot of people join and contribute to groups on deviantART, and there's a chance a lot of people will notice what you've submitted if your art is accepted into a group. Choose a set of groups that are themed to your particular piece you are going to submit. If you have a picture of a Gothic castle for example, you can submit it to Dark Art, Gothic Souls Club, Madmen Asylum, DisturbingArtHorror, or Bloody Sanctuary.
7 Join the #ArtChance group. They usually have contests where you can submit your best artwork and possibly have a chance of it being seen by many deviants around the site.
8 Add a lot of people to your watch list. Go to the homepage and browse through art you like, or do a search of some kind of art you like. If you find something that catches your eye, favorite it and add the artist to your deviantWatch. The more often you do this, the more people will notice you and they will thank you for the add, and they might end up adding you back!
9 Be prepared. It's not always a happy time with any website as there are always the bad apples. Pay no notice but take note of any hidden advice they may give. But if they do anything to you against the deviantART policy, report them and block them from your page straight away.
10 Be friendly. Nobody likes a grumpy person, do they? Be friendly and social and other people will begin to like you. Many friends are gained this way.
11 Give and take advice. Give people constructive criticism on how to improve their art if they ask for it and heed any advice they give you in return.
