Me too. I'm stuck with anime faces. I've been wanting to try and draw more realistically but I could never manage it without feeling like the face is all wrong.

I follow a lot of semi-realistic and comic artists on social media.
so sometimes looking how they draw noses is good cause it gives you an idea
how to draw them and what type of noses you like.

Good idea! I don't follow many artists, or not the kind that can be easily mimicked, so I don't see a lot of faces I can get inspiration from. Guess I need to branch out more.

300?! Wow. I only just got an Instagram last night so I'm following...2.

Got any recommendations? Or how to use Instagram at all, for that matter?

Great way to find artists, for me is go to the explore.
and I have many.
Not sure what kind of artists you are looking for so i'll give you a lot of good ones i like.
Some do gesture drawing, some are comic book artists, freelance semi realism, etc.

Our teacher mentioned downloading a program called Gramblr on the PC which will allow uploading to Instagram from the PC, but I haven't tried it yet.

I sometimes don't like using those kinds of programs.

Yeah, I don't like using too many programs to do stuff either, which is why I hadn't downloaded it yet. I just heard from our teacher who was teaching us computer-related stuff and he told us about it and demonstrated it on his PC so I know it works but haven't tried it myself.

I will probably just do it how i have been.
It's not like a real big hassle. I'm just lazy tbh.
But i do have other stuff i should check through the instagram tablet/phone app.

Are there any other functions on Instagram that require a phone to do besides the whole uploading thing? I'm still flailing around the site and have no idea what I'm doing.

Hey Maiden! Life is okay at the moment, not very good but not bad either. You?

if you click the hearts to like something, you can't view your likes unless you go through the app.
As well as making stories too.

So if I don't click the hearts to like something, I'll be able to view my likes? I haven't made any posts so far so I don't know much about that part.

Making stories? Like writing out stories and posting them?

the heart means liking something.
But you can't view it unless you go through the app settings and click on posts you've liked.

and no stories are usually videos. kinda hard to explain.

Ohh. So there's no 'posts you've liked' button on the PC version, only on the app.

Is there like a tag of it or something I can maybe watch one to get an idea of what a story is?

Yes. you can also save things, which is what I do if i need to look at something immediately
such as drawing references and tutorials.

No, you just click the person's icon. it'll show you the latest story someone has done.
You can watch stories on your pc. you just can't make them through the Pc. has to be done on the phone app.
you can add fonts and other things through the app on your story.

I've done a few stories like showing WIPs.

Is the save button on the page you intend to like/follow? I don't have access to Instagram at the moment and I don't have the app in my phone, only my PC at home.

Are the stories like how you can't upload photos/pictures through the PC and have to upload them through the phone app? I think I remember seeing Instagram having various filters and editors for uploaded images.

If you look at someone's post. There will be heart and bubble icon and a ribbon sort of button.
Clicking the ribbon is how to save things.
Then you go to your instagram, click saved and you'll see what you've saved.
that is seeable through the PC App as well as only YOU can see your saved. Other people can see your likes but not your saved.

You can upload videos and pictures through the app by clicking your icon and it'll say "your story" on your icon with a blue plus sign.
for just uploading regular pictures, on the app click the plus sign next to the icons at the bottom of the screen or just swipe and itll bring it up and you can click 'gallery' and it'll be pictures from your phone.

Ohh. I was wondering what the ribbon was for. Thanks! I'll have to try it out tonight.

I see, I guess I'll have to download the app so it'll be easier for uploading things. I'll wait until I get a new phone since my current one is dying on me. Thanks for all the explanations! Learning how to navigate a new website is always confusing. ;;

I have a phone but no tablet. A tablet would be easier to use probably, but would be harder for me to carry around.
Need to get a phone that takes better pictures, mine are almost always blurry.

Have you ever heard of MeWe? I saw someone talking about it yesterday and was wondering if it's any good. I went to their webpage but could only see the home page and it's a bit like Facebook from what I've gathered?

Yeah i would need a phone to take better pictures.
but i don't really take any. all my pictures on my tablet are of my art that i've sent to myself
in order to post them on instagram.

Never heard of it.
