Choose an interesting or quirky drawing from your community or your own collection. Post the image with one of these Caption This templates and encourage everyone to comment with their captions. Pin the post or share top captions later to spotlight participation. For more variety, use different themes or styles of drawings to appeal to a wide range of members.
For all platforms, keep image quality high and captions short for easy reading. Use platform features like polls or reactions to let members vote on their favorite captions. Tag active members to invite participation and share winning captions in Stories or Highlights to extend engagement.
To maximize engagement, create Caption This prompts featuring artwork in varied styles—such as a hyper-realistic portrait one week, then a manga-inspired sketch or abstract composition the next. This encourages participation from artists with different specialties and sparks discussions about technique. Clearly label the post style in the caption to help members connect with content relevant to their interests.
Choose images that showcase a specific technique, such as complex cross-hatching or expressive line weight. Prompt members to caption not just the scene, but also speculate on the technique used or share their experiences replicating similar effects. This invites technical discussion and peer learning, which is highly valued among drawing enthusiasts.
Rotate subjects between popular genres—alternate between figure studies, portraits, urban sketches, and landscapes. For each, encourage captions that interpret the subject or mood. You can also post ambiguous or hybrid scenes, prompting artists to imagine the context, which bridges the gap between specialties and drives broader engagement.
Featuring unfinished sketches often encourages more creativity, as members can caption the possible story or suggest what happens next. This especially engages those interested in process, as it demystifies how drawings evolve. Alternating with polished pieces keeps things fresh and appeals to those who admire finished work, catering to both audiences.
Art block is common among illustrators and sketch artists. Caption This challenges provide a low-pressure opportunity for members to interpret images in fun, unexpected ways—often jumpstarting ideas for new pieces. Encourage members to share if a post inspired a new drawing or sketch based on their caption, building a supportive environment to overcome creative slumps.
Set ground rules emphasizing playful interpretations and positive feedback. Remind members that Caption This is for imaginative engagement, not detailed critique—though light technical observations are welcome if constructive. If threads become overly critical or technical, redirect the conversation with prompts like, 'What funny story could this pose tell?' or 'How would you finish this drawing?' to refocus on creativity and inclusivity.
