FMP - Instagram Art Ideas

  Here are some Instagram screenshots, from my phone, from artworks I've found interesting by their style or from their theme.

  1. I've always liked his style of drawing and painting and it really amazes me how he can draw so realistic it looks like a photograph.
  2. He uses either Copic markers, Prismacolor markers or other pencils from their range of art tools, and I love how they look so professional!
  3. I love how the artwork shows emotion very easily, because you can tell instantly.
  4. Although I probably wouldn't be using his style as I don't have the markers to create the same effect, it's only the eye and I'm looking to do the whole face and I want to experiment with crazy proportions and more distorted images not hyper-realistic pieces all the time.

  1. This is one I like because its merging two images of the same person into one.
  2. I quite like the cartoon-ish style to the drawing because it just works, I don't know whether it would have worked well if it was realistic.
  3. The composition has worked well as it has made use of the negative space in the top left corner.
  4. I might give this style a go from my own photographs in my development stage of the project.

  1. I find this style quite quirky but it brings forth the purpose of this artwork for emotions, as all these emotions are at once in someones head or mind.
  2. I will definitely have a go at recreating this idea of emotion even though it's not a portrait as such, but these emotions are coming across in these little faces inside.


  • @loganfickart
  1. This gave another way of showing the more negative emotions, personally.
  2. I like how its quite dark; to almost feels like its an own personal painting of their to show how they feel.
  3. The artwork being just black and white emphasizes the dark emotion the image is trying to get across to the viewer.
  4. This is quite simple for my personal style but I'd explore the style more as I get into my development.


  • @sparksflyidraw
  1. I looked through this gallery of work and I like the style of drawing the minimalist facial features with certain objects, elements and textures merged with the face to emphasize the emotion attributes in the face e.g.; fire to show anger.
  2. I like this and I think I'd have a go but I have drawn very similar in this project (Ileana Hunter's realistic minimalism portraits).
