Art Communities

This was more a selfish question but I figured it could make for a discussion too. Do you have any favorite art communities online (forums, discords, etc.) or irl? Where do you go to meet other people who make art, get tips and critique, etc. I used to frequent /f/lockdraw a lot but am kind of looking for a place not really related to chan culture at all atm.

I use Instagram as my art interaction/portfolio platform for the most part.

>>1503 Yeah same, but I don't really talk with anyone through instagram. Though I guess theres nothing stopping me from hitting up random artists that have added me. Do you interact with a lot of the people you have added on there and how did it start if so? Just a random dm?

>>1504 Not that lainon but I DM some artists I follow and get some replies. I also use IG as my main portfolio but I hate that im feeding the Facebook machine. I really want to find a good community and start using IG less and less.

Instagram seems pretty terrible for art. I use deviantart but it's reputation is deserved. Still as a WEBSITE it's bloody brilliant. At least you can follow people you like and actually customise what you see of them.

>>1504 Yes, I interact with people through random DMs. I actually got asked out on a date by another female artist through instagram, I'm seeing her today. Wish me luck lainanons!

>>1602 how'd it go? also link to your art page?

>>1502 Did you find any communities? i found a discord for after effects artists that collaborate together but thats it =\
