Instagram is a fantastic platform for artists. It allows you to upload your work, share it with others, and start building a long-term business.
Having engaging captions that compliment your visual drawings (and art) goes a long way to boosting how many people see your work.
While I can’t help with the drawings themselves (though I can show you how to make money with AI art), the next best step is to help with drawing captions for Instagram.
From funny art captions to everyday life designs, this article will show you the best captions to help you spread the word. Let’s get started.
Wondering why this is different than all the other similar posts online? These captions are based on the experiences my team and I have gone through as we built an Instagram account with 100,000+ followers. We have a team of video editors, creators, social media managers, and writers who all provided their expertise to develop the following captions.

Taking Your Drawing Captions For Instagram To The Next Level
Whether your art is just a pursued interest or you do it professionally, here are a few additional tips to help create better Instagram drawing captions.
Spark Curiosity Through Your Captions
Art evokes curiosity and open loops in people’s minds.
When someone has unresolved questions, they seek to answer them to “scratch off that itch”.
If you spark this curiosity in your viewers, they will consume your content more often (and for longer).
So how do you do this?
The best way to spark curiosity is through your art. The second best way is through your captions.
You could:
- Ask a question: In a drawing that uses a lot of blue, how about asking, “What if the color blue didn’t exist? How would that change our world?”
- Offer an incomplete story: The overused phrase “You won’t believe what happened next…” comes to mind. Pretty powerful when used in the right Instagram caption.
- Surprising facts/stats: Imagine you’ve drawn an image of a honeybee. Then, you have a caption asking, “Did you know that Egyptian tombs have edible honey? It’s also over 3000 years old”.
- Share a secret: “Only x people (in my life) know I’m expecting…”
Try these out and see what happens!
Get People To Engage Through Emotions
Want to come up with some of the best drawing art captions? Keep this sentence in mind:
“Evoke emotions and connect with viewers”.
Think about your “every day” Instagram posts that got the most engagement. You could even go to your Instagram right now and check.
Was it about your pet, a memory of a loved one or even a story with a happy (or even a sad) ending?
In most cases, there’s an emotion (or multiple ones) people can connect with when they consume your content.
Using these emotions in your drawing and art captions can be a great way to develop these captions.
Share Information On Your Drawing Workflow
As an artist, you do things a certain way.
Whether you create pop art, paint self portraits, or anything in between, many people would probably find your workflows interesting.
The result?
They would want to know more about them.
Sharing information about your process (and the why behind it) in your captions is a great way to boost your captions and make them more engaging.
Conclusion
They say, “good artists steal, great artists borrow”.
Taking inspiration from the above drawing and art captions for your Instagram can transform your posts into a masterpiece.
With the right captions, people can connect not only with the visual elements but also with your:
- thought processes
- interesting facts about your drawings
- your personal experiences as you create your art
- anything else of interest.
When you can create great art captions that go along with your work, you’ll have a winning combination you can use repeatedly. This combination helps boost your Instagram profile and reach more people.
