Hashtags for digital art

These hashtags for digital art suit illustrations, process clips and finished pieces. Digital art posts sit next to an endless stream of illustrations, so a general tag rarely helps. Naming the style or what the piece is, such as a character sheet or a background, lets fellow artists and clients find it.

Using these hashtags well

Name the device or style you used
Tags such as #ipadart or #vectorart gather people who use the same tools and like to compare workflows.
Use challenge tags only when you join one
A challenge tag should match a real event or prompt list. Using it on unrelated work confuses the people browsing it.
Mark original characters
If the character is your own, say so with #originalcharacter. It separates your design from fan work.
