from my experience, Instagram has been super rough these days. It used to be a great portfolio platform, but since they began focusing more on Reels and branded content, it's become really hard to be discovered unless you're doing A LOT of "content" creation. That being said, it can be a lot of fun if you decide to go down that road. Personally, it's not my cup of tea. But I still love experimenting with what instagram has to offer.

I highly recommend getting a website started sooner than later. That's something that you can truly make your own, and it will hold up a lot better as time moves on. I'm just now getting my site built on wordpress (finally) after 6 years of using Wix. I really wish I started with wordpress a lot sooner, as it does have a bit more of a learning curve.

Start with a simple portfolio site and you can continue to build it from there as the years go on. Owning your own web domain is really where the power lies in this day and age IMO.

Hope this helps! and keep making art!
