I used to flood my gallery with 10 pieces a week until an artist I respected called me out

Back in 2022 I was churning out digital paintings like a machine, posting every single sketch and study to my social media pages. An artist I looked up to named Rhea from a Discord server I'm in told me my feed looked like noise and I was burying my own good work under a pile of junk. That stung at first but she was right. I went from posting daily to showing only one piece every two weeks, spending the extra time on composition and color theory instead of just speed. The difference was huge - my engagement actually went up and I started getting commission requests. Has anyone else had to totally change their posting habits to get better feedback?

Quality OVER quantity EVERY time.

And look, @casey_wood2, sometimes people chase quantity because they're scared of missing out on any potential sales. But the thing is, a single great product builds way more trust than a hundred mediocre ones ever could. That trust is what keeps customers coming back instead of bouncing to the next cheap thing.

Totally agree with this, it's so true.

Quantity pays the bills too though lol.
