Art Challenge
From draft to Instagram post
Composition and framing
Apply the rule of thirds, define leading lines and visual balance. Think about the focal point.
Basic shapes
Break the subject down into simple geometric shapes: circles, triangles, cylinders. Light construction.
Details and scenery
Place secondary elements, define depth and planes. Add environmental context.
Cleaning up the line
Reduce the draft opacity to 50% and create a new layer for clean inking.
Line thickness variation
Work thick and thin strokes, create dynamism. Quick, fluid strokes for a natural feel.
Shadow areas
Define dark areas with hatching or flat black fills. Build volume and depth.
Contrast
Check the balance between light and dark areas. Strengthen contrast for visual impact.
Final details
Add textures and refinements. Polish the elements that catch the eye.
Corrections
Adjust line thickness, clean up imperfections. Check overall readability.
Format and export
Prepare for Instagram dimensions (1080x1080px or 1080x1350px). Minimum 300 DPI resolution.
Signature
Add a watermark or discreet signature. Protect your artwork.
Publishing
Write a description and relevant hashtags. Upload and share with the art community.
