start with hashtags and see what you can find.
I'm already in the group. 👍

This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨 Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket [https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket] as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities. Rules AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI). NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don’t wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren’t sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, “Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?” If you’re still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side. Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren’t sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first. Conduct: Be nice, and don’t be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don’t be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
It'll be @artshare to follow from on here :)
Just did that recently, thank for the recommendation!
(Also, since it's a Lemmy community, if I ping the group, does it appear on the Lemmy feed? Or it doesn't work like FediGroups?)
@NovemDecimal You used to be able to ping a community and your toot would be formatted like a new thread there. But it stopped working due to a clash in settings between Masto and Lemmy, I'm honestly not sure whether it works again now or not.
If you wanted to test it the format was:
First line of your toot (will be the thread title)
Rest of your toot is the post body so make sure to start a new paragraph after the title.
[tag the community here (no other tags)]
What a great idea! I see people’s beginner/practice/learning art posted every so often. I enjoy it. There doesn’t seem to be a common hashtag though. YET. Give it a go!
@welshpixie might be able to help, they run mastodon.Art and are all round awesome
@bloognoo @NovemDecimal aw <3
You can follow the #NewHere and #Introduction hashtags, and go to https://sunny.garden/directory?order=new to see new people on your instance :) (and then change it to 'from known fediverse' to see new people everywhere)
@NovemDecimal Sometimes there are art/drawing challenges. You can participate, and if you follow the hashtags you may find like-minded people.
I‘m not really into this any more, but you could check these hashtags:
#tuesdaytiger
#kleinekunstklasse
Maybe other artists can help with more challenge hashtags.
