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 work on Instagram ✨

① Tips for uploading your work to SNS ~ Instagram edition ~
Instagram currently has around 1.5 billion users around the world. It is an SNS that specializes in obtaining information through visuals such as photos and videos.
What you need to be careful about when uploading your work to Instagram is the sense of unity when viewing the entire post .
When you create an overall sense of unity, it becomes easier to convey your worldview and concept to the viewer, so this is a very important point when uploading your own 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 best to have a certain theme of ``what kind of work will you create?'' For example, by posting works that focus on things you like, such as ``gentle-style animal drawings'' or ``girly fashion illustrations,'' people who come to your account will be able to tell you a lot about yourself. 's worldview becomes easier to convey.
②Unify the style
For example, when you see an illustration on the street, have you ever thought of a specific person and thought, ``This illustration probably was drawn by that artist?'' This is because the artist's style (characteristics and tendencies of the work, such as the way lines are drawn and the atmosphere) is input into your head. By unifying your style, you can give the viewer the impression that ``this is the type of person who draws pictures.''
③ Align filters and processing methods
If you take a photo of an analog illustration and upload it, I think it's a good idea to process it a little to make it look better. For example, in the case of a pencil drawing, increasing the contrast will make the lines look clearer and give you a cool finish! Try out various methods and find your own unique processing method.
④ Match the colors
By matching the colors (including saturation and brightness) of each work, it will look cleaner and give a much more unified look.
・Recommended hashtags
The second point is the #hashtag , which 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 Instagram.
