      <image:caption>Here is a portrait of Kylian Mbappé that I created during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. When drawing well-known personalities like him, my goal is to create a clear sense of recognition while also bringing my own personal style into the artwork.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog ILLUSTRATION - How to Get More Saves &amp;amp; Shares on Your Artwork - Mach es besonders</image:title>
      <image:caption>My Instagram account today with 12.8K followers. I started it about 10 months ago and most of that growth happened during the last 3 to 4 months. The biggest change was focusing on creating content that provides real value and encourages saves and shares instead of simply chasing likes.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog ILLUSTRATION - How to Get More Saves &amp;amp; Shares on Your Artwork - Mach es besonders</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is a screenshot of my best performing Instagram post so far. It received 3,522 shares (unfortunately the share count is not visible in this screenshot). It took off quickly, but what surprised me most was its long term performance. Instead of fading after a few days it kept reaching new people for months and ultimately brought me around 3,000 new followers.</image:caption>
