Hello!
You want more people to see the pictures and illustrations you draw! Have you ever thought that?
Now that SNS has become popular, I think it has become easier to have your drawings seen by an unspecified number of people other than family and friends.
However, if you're going to upload the work you've worked so hard to draw on social media, you want it to catch the attention of as many people as possible.
So this time, I would like to introduce some points when uploading your own works on TikTok ✨

① Tips for uploading your work to SNS ~TikTok edition~
TikTok currently has around 1.3 billion users worldwide. It's a video-specialized SNS, and it's an indispensable app for young people who are sensitive to trends.
Even though you specialize in videos, do you post pictures and illustrations? Some people may think so.
However, on TikTok, where videos of a wide range of genres are posted every second, "illustration videos" are quite popular and in demand.
For example, a making-of video that explains the process until a work is completed, a comparison video of past paintings that allows you to see the growth of past paintings and the current one, a music video-like video that connects illustrations that match the lyrics of a popular song, etc. Even though it is called an illustration video, the content varies.
Let's create videos that match your style❕
・Choose a popular song
The first thing to keep in mind when uploading pictures on TikTok is the sound source you add to the video .
Still images are sufficient for other SNS, but if you want to show off your pictures with video, a sound source will be essential.
On TikTok, popular music sources change rapidly from time to time. Therefore, it is important to choose songs that are popular at this moment.
By using a popular song, people who search for that song may be more likely to see your post.
・(For making-of videos) Do not use the thumbnail as a completed drawing.
In the case of a making-of video that introduces how to draw a picture, if you see the finished drawing in the thumbnail, there is little point in posting the video.
I think it's a good idea to use the thumbnail as a draft or a portion of the finished drawing, so that the viewer can imagine and look forward to it, wondering, ``What kind of picture will it become from here?''
・Recommended hashtags
The third point is the #hashtag that can be seen by many people !
This applies to all SNS, but the words and content may vary slightly depending on each SNS. Here, we will introduce recommended hashtags when posting pictures on TikTok.

I'm happy when so many people can see the work I've worked so hard on.

If you draw a lot on a regular basis, you've probably thought about this at least once.
For those people, we highly recommend our website “ FROM ARTIST” 🌟

・FROM ARTIST also has projects like this!
FROM ARTIST is not just a service for selling works.
In order to fully support the success of artists, we will not only introduce columns and special features on this site and introduce works on various themes, but also use SNS such as Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok. , we will disseminate your works to the world .
