Using these hashtags well
Say what kind of cartoon it is
#caricature, #webcomic and #2danimation each draw a different crowd. Choose by your style, not by the word cartoon.
Show the process once in a while
A time-lapse of the sketch tagged #drawingprocess sits well next to a finished piece and reaches people who learn by watching.
Skip show names you do not own
Tags for other people's characters bring fan art crowds, but if the drawing is original, leave them out to avoid confusion.
Credit characters you did not create
Fan art of an existing character should say so in the caption. It is polite to the original creators and keeps your post from looking like a copy.
Questions
How many hashtags should a cartoon post have?
Five at most on Instagram. Mix the style, the format and one for the audience.
Are cartoon hashtags useful for kids channels?
Yes, but keep them about the content, such as #rhymes or #bedtimestory, and follow the platform's rules for child-directed content.
Do comic artists use different tags from animators?
Often yes. Comic artists use strip and panel tags, while animators use motion and studio tags.
Can I use a cartoon show's name as a hashtag?
You can, but be careful that the post is your own drawing. Using a show's name on unrelated content can look misleading.
What tags suit a child's cartoon drawings?
Use tags about the activity, such as drawing or crayons, and avoid the child's name or school. Keep the account private if it is a child's.
Which cartoon hashtags help animators?
Tags for the format, like animation, frame by frame or motion, help other animators and studios find your work.
Do cartoon tags help with commissions?
Yes, if you add a tag for commissions open and the style. Clients often search for the look they want.
Should I post process videos for cartoon art?
A short time-lapse of the drawing gets saved and shared often. Tag it with the tool or medium you used.
Which cartoon tags suit a webcomic?
Name the genre, the format and the update day, such as webcomic or weekly strip. Readers who follow comics search for those terms.
