Professional Practice - Instagram Highlights

Interact

I wanted to interact with my followers more than just in comments on my posts so I decided to ask questions in my stories. I made the stories about my illustrations so that I could get feedback. I use the question feature the most. I ask questions about which images I should post next, what horses I should draw, what I would post on my feed... these are really fun to do and I love seeing people's answers. I save most of the questions in this highlight. It helps so that I can look back and see what I have already asked.

Photog

Here is where I save behind the scenes photos of me at photoshoots, back of the camera shot or photos that don't make it onto my feed.

Riding

I wanted to show my followers that I do ride and spend time with horses as well as just drawing them. So whenever I have a lesson I either upload a clip of me riding or a photo from the yard and I save them here. Hopefully one day I can add a new highlight with my own horse!

Art

Here is where I post work in progress photos, sneak peeks, drawing vs photo and sketches. I really enjoyed asking people to suggest things for me to draw. This was a good break from drawing horses and I really enjoyed the challenge.

Shared

This is where I save all of the stories that people have posted about me. I love giving recognition to those people that share my work to their story. This includes anyone from my friends to people who own a horse that I have drawn.

Prices

I have had a fair few people asking me how much a drawing costs. I also wanted to add prices to my Instagram page as some people may be too scared to ask. It also is a nice way for people to see what I do and what I have to offer. I plan to add more examples of different animals at a later date.

Animated

Here is where I post my animations, none of these are finished but I like to share them anyway!
