I hope lots of "deserving" artists notice this post - and that your generosity does not backfire on you. In the past I would often seen waves of "Why did I get de-scouted?"-posts when an artist who did a lot of scouting lost their privilege because too many people they scouted turned out to be bad apples. :/
I like to make stuff.

That's obviously something to be wary of, but then again, a careful approach goes a long way in realizing if someone's going to stay scouted or get you both unscouted fast. in the 45+ times i've scouted people, the one thing that always guarantees that someone would stay scouted is their consistency and dedication to the act of drawing itself and presenting themselves as such.
And sometimes you can get what kinda person they are just by talking to them anyway.
I would like getting scouted, but I dont think i deserve that :P
so... just... how do i get better at this? i need some help right now...
Silly suggestion but; switch to pixel art or a less precision demanding medium. pixel art is obviously precision demanding, but digital art is even more so because things may not look as crisp and clean so easily and it might be especially difficult with having to work with "soft" brushes.
This way, you'll be able to make things that look nice enough in a shorter time span with less of a steep learning curve, not to mention that there are thousands of styles you can go with, from 2bit (the black and white pixel art) to pc98 (google it), but the point is; it's easy to start with, even easier to keep going with. and it can lead you to getting really good at art in general.
And finally, look at something you really like and try drawing it yourself. for example, if you like anime, keep trying to draw anime characters. trace if you need to (without claiming the traced works are "your works") or draw from memory and compare it to what you wanted to draw initially, but the idea is; get drawing and draw what you really wanna draw as if you can already do it, until you can ACTUALLY do it like you imagine it.
@MoeAnguish i actually used to do a bit of pixel art before i was on newgrounds :P though i probably wont switch back to pixel art, at least not completely... anyway, thanks :D
No problem! Of course no need to make a complete switch, not even i did this nor do i plan on ever doing it. It was more so my suggestion so you could make something you're gonna like with less steep learning curves for getting everything to look "high quality".
Good luck!
i should not have been scouted, the person who did it must have made a mistake.
Contact staff and tell them to unscout you, maybe?
Can i get scouted? if not, can you tell me how 2 improve 2 get scouted in the future?
I'd say you're almost there in terms of getting scouted. If you keep drawing with the same or more detail as your last drawing (at the time), you'll be scouted sooner than later.
It's just a matter of putting in more detail and care than usual every time in order to improve.
@MoeAnguish

You've become boring kinda quickly, my dude. I was at least willing to see if you'd be funny but nah, this is the most disappointing 'trolling' I've ever seen.
Come back when you're better at this, cause nah, you really don't sound like it.
@MoeAnguish okay! thanks 4 telling me!
No problem, good luck!

Sorry. the main reason is, some of your works mix sketches/doodles with detailed works in the same upload and some of them have "questionable" themes and commentary.
