Hello!
Have you ever thought, "I want more people to see the pictures and illustrations I've drawn!"?
Now that social media has become widespread, it has become easier to have people other than family and friends see your drawings.
However, if you're going to upload a work that you've worked so hard to create to social media, you want it to catch the eye of as many people as possible.
So, this time I would like to introduce some points to keep in mind when uploading your own work on Instagram✨

①Tips for uploading your work to social media: Instagram
Instagram currently has around 1.5 billion users worldwide. It is a social networking site that specializes in obtaining information through visuals such as photos and videos.
When uploading your work to Instagram, you should pay attention to the consistency of the entire post .
Having an overall sense of unity makes it easier for viewers to understand your worldview and concept, so this is a very important point when uploading your work to Instagram.
・Tips for creating a sense of unity
① Decide on a theme
If you're running an account to post pictures and illustrations, it's a good idea to have a theme for what kind of work you want to create. For example, "relaxed animal drawings" or "girly fashion illustrations"... By posting works that focus on things you like, it will be easier for people who visit your account to understand your worldview.
②Unify your style
For example, when you see an illustration on the street, have you ever thought, "This illustration probably was drawn by that artist," and thought of a specific person? That's because the artist's style (the way the lines are drawn, the atmosphere, and other characteristics and tendencies of the work) is imprinted in your mind. By unifying your style, you can give viewers the impression that "this is the kind of person who draws these kinds of pictures."
3. Use the same filters and processing methods
If you take a photo of an analog illustration and upload it, it's a good idea to edit it a little to make it look nice. For example, if it's a pencil drawing, increasing the contrast will make the lines look clearer and create a cool finish! Try out various methods and find your own unique editing method.
④ Match the colors
By matching the colors of each piece (including saturation and brightness), the look will be cleaner and the sense of unity will be greatly improved.
・Recommended hashtags
The second point is to use a #hashtag so that lots of people can see it !
This applies to all social media platforms, but the words and content will vary slightly depending on the platform. Here we will introduce some recommended hashtags for uploading pictures to Instagram.
