I'm having a problem. Lately, I push myself to get popular with my art. I post on social media. I put a lot of effort into my work and while I get views, likes, reblogs, etc, I feel that it's not enough. I've equated these numbers as popularity and worth. People have have been talking about my art outside of the comments sections as well.
What's worth more, numbers on your art (bookmarks, likes, favorites) or conversation about the work?
Genuinely enjoying the process, striving to improve and not caring about what people think of it.

what first commenter said, but if you gotta choose between the options u listed, i'd pick conversation always. favs just mean somebody saw and thought 'oh thats nice', or maybe they just liked one tiny specific part, and even if they loved it they probably forgot 10 minutes later. conversation means they thought about it and actually give a fuck abt it to some extent

how many followers do you have?
I like what you posted but I know other artists that can do that kind of stuff 10 times better. That's from a viewer's perspective. Why would I go to you instead of another. Not to pull you down though, you seem to have skills (judging from the pic) now it's just a matter of having a personality. Live experiences and pull from them. Find your niche, people will cater to it.
Also, post content regularly.
Money and pussy are the only measures that count. If your art isn't getting you one of those, then you'd better enjoy it for it's own sake.

Man, I sure would love to hear of those artists who can do what Ruanjia does only 10 times better.

I think, he just wanted to state a principle.
No matter what you do, there is someone, out there who is greater than you. If not on this earth than maybe on an other planet.
Great artists are great and popular, because they do their thing. Do your thing. Don't try to be popular, if it happens, it just happens.
No popular artist says: "I want to be the best artist in the world and make lots of moneys, and get lots of pussies."
That's not an artist, that's a business man.
