Topics in Art

Most places to post art reward whoever already has an audience. Liora Social works the other way round. Your drawing goes into a Topic, a prompt like “draw or paint a picture of a room in your home”, and sits next to everyone else who answered it. A first sketch and a professional study end up in the same gallery.

Art on Liora is organised into Projects: a sketchbook you fill every week, a manga panel practice group, an animation study club. Each has its own Topics, a chat, and a page where all the contents live together.

Art on Liora, answered

Is Liora a good app for sharing art?
Yes. Liora Social is built around Topics, so your art is seen by people who chose that prompt, not by an algorithm. It works for sketches, studies, finished paintings, manga panels and animation frames.
Do I need followers to get my drawings seen on Liora?
No. When you post to a Topic, your drawing appears in that Topic’s gallery next to everyone else’s. People find your work through the prompt, not through your follower count.
Can I start my own art community on Liora?
Yes. Create a Project, give it a name, a banner and a colour, and add Topics to it. People can join, chat and contribute. Sketchbook Pages, Manga Panels and Frame by Frame are Projects made this way.
Is Liora an alternative to Instagram for artists?
For sharing work in progress and getting it in front of other artists, yes. Liora has no ads in the feed and no follower metrics to chase. It is not a portfolio site; it is a place to draw alongside other people.
