Hmm.. Okay, I see. I think I will try to use your experience too
You know, it's really sad to post something and not to get any attention at all 
And the only way I found to attract some people is to post my art to some popular but low-level groups. It almost didn't give me any watchers though. Hm. And a great number of people simply adds all the art they see to their faves in order to catch your attention only. Yeah, as you said, it all looks selfish, useless and sad.
I like your way a lot more.
My english is a lot worse than yours though. It is a real problem when I am trying to write like.. a lot.
And it's a HUGE problem when I am trying to give people advices about their art because to do so I have to know especially complex words. Eh. Some of them simply can't understand what I mean
Hmm... And as I see your amount of watchers grows every day now :0 Impressive.
Keep going and you'll have more than 100 watchers in few months, I guess.
Anyways, I am kind of interested in your personality. How old are you? According to your teaching experience I guess you are a lot older than me, may be about... 25 or 30? Or even more?
And you are an art student, do I get it right?
What are your plans? Becoming a concept artist? Or may be you are earning money with your drawing now already?

I understand the frustration of trying to communicate with someone and not getting through. That teaching experience was teaching English, in China. Broken or confusing English is something I'm pretty used to.
But don't be discouraged. Focus on what people are doing right, be encouraging and explain things in as simple terms as possible.
As to me, I am a bit older, 31.
I decided quite late to get involved in art, maybe 24. I used to draw a bit when I was a kid but I never considered it as something worth pursuing. I had wanted to be a writer. Which is probably why my comments are so long.
I would one day soon like to make money from my work, but I haven't figured out how just yet. I am hoping to build a body of work that looks impressive enough to get attention, hopefully build a webcomic as well. Patreon is the goal at the moment, but I need to build a much bigger following, and a lot more work, before I consider getting involved in that. My dream job would be to visual development for an animation studio, but that is a long way down the road, I think.
I would also like to teach art. I understand the fundamentals pretty well, and have a fairly strong grasp on a lot of digital specific techniques, and I would like to share that with people. Help them with things that I used to struggle with and had to work out on my own. All of what I know is self taught. The art school I attended was like a community college, and it wasn't very good, so I had to do things the hard way. Sure there is a lot of information and knowledge online, but there it can still take a long time to really understand it, so if I can help others, I would like to.
I just need to keep working at it.
