I just wish I would ever get art. Honestly if getting gifted art on a regular basis meant sometimes getting crappy art, I'd still take it.

I have never been gifted art in an exchange even though I keep asking for it, and even in fandoms with talented fan artists (who may, of course, not be in the exchange scene).

I'm not sure if getting bad art is worse or better than getting bad fic, but it would probably be easier to shrug off because it wouldn't take me a couple of hours to get through it. I'd just know by taking one look.

Sign up to exchanges that have medium options and only request art.

Find the artists you like in exchange fandoms and get into their fandoms. Being in fandoms with fanartists you like who don't do exchanges is useless for getting art in exchanges unless you can persuade the artists to exchanges.

+1

Also, comment on art. Even better if you can comment substantively, like at least a couple of lines, rather than just "Cute!" or "I like this!"

As an artist, this makes me wish for an art request equivalent of "Someday my fic will come".
