And that's just locally. In a place as gigantic as the internet, art is one of those things that you need to be REALLY one of the best at (ok maybe not the best, but top tier) to make anykind of living.
The term starving artist does come to mind 
On the other hand, drawing is basically free and if it's what you really enjoy then go for it. Worst case you sell a few drawings for 1 cent and improve your artistic abilities.
Of course for the actual question, I'd say build a website. Maybe you could even combine your gallery with a blog, but seriously, so many people are such good artists... To make money from drawing alone online, you'd need to be very very good in my opinion. Got any sample work? |
The idea came to me when I met a guy who said he made lots of money from his hobbies, he said made money from, poetry, djing, skateboarding and breakdancing. And appartently he had made almost £100,000 from all those things combined, but surely he can't be the best at everything in all of those fields.
I was thinking of maybe my art work could be sold as abit of income, not as main stream of income, more or less like abit of pocket money while I could find other ways of making money on top of that. I do kind of agree with your point about there being tons of much more talented artist out there, but I think that probably the same with most things.
I was thinking maybe the internet was so big, that somebody out their would probably like my artwork as there would millions of people that I would have the opportunity to show it to.
Anyway here is a sample of my work, its a quick sketch I did with a red biro pen, I did about five year ago, that I put towards my portfolio to get into art college.
