Creating an Illustration Portfolio on Instagram
A course by PENCIL·ILUSTRADORES , Illustration Agency
Discover the keys to turning your Instagram account into a professional and artistic profile
It takes only a few seconds for an editor or art director to get an idea of an illustrator's work by looking at their Instagram profile. Only if they're hooked will they dig a little deeper. If you are an illustrator, using IG as a support to show your work and portfolio is fundamental to attracting more clients, according to Sandra López, founding director of Pencil, the first illustrator agency in Spain, which currently represents around 30 artists, including David de las Heras and Iban Barrenetxea.
If you've already learned the basics of presenting your work to clients in the course Keys to Creating a Professional Illustration Portfolio, bring those skills over to Instagram in this course. Gain a wealth of ideas that will serve as a roadmap to plan a strategy from scratch, or adjust the one you already have, in order to promote yourself and sell your work better.

PENCIL·ILUSTRADORES
A course by PENCIL·ILUSTRADORES
Founded in 2000, Pencil is the first illustrator agency in Spain. They represent artists from various countries who have received the most prestigious awards and been recognized in international competitions in the sector, with works published in magazines, newspapers, and agencies in Europe, America, and Asia. Their portfolio includes diverse styles to suit the needs of all types of clients. Rather than being guided by trends, their only requirement is to instill excitement.
They have a history of promoting and organizing international cultural projects, such as the Guadalajara-Mexico FIL International Illustration Forum (FILustra); Ilumina, a reading promotion program; and LuchaLibro Valladolid, a contest of literary improvisation in the boxing ring. They also collaborate with the Programa Acerca, part of the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID), and the International and Ibero-American Foundation for Administration and Public Policies (FIIAPP), leading workshops in cultural centers in Spain and institutions in Chile, Honduras, Mali, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Peru.

A good course for very basic beginners.
Unfortunately it didn’t bring any changes for me, as all the infos seemed obvious and nothing new. I wished it could have gone more in-depth with how instagram works for an artist/illustrator. I wasn’t convinced of the benefit to use mosaics, as this section also stayed a bit superficial and with too little infos/details on hows and whys.
Muy recomendable, los consejos y sobre todo que el audio sea en español, me ayudo bastante, ya quiero el otro curso, gracias.
Más de lo que se esperaba. Todo muy claro. Recomendable
