Instagram blocked my new account what can I do?

Question

I'm baffled by this.I created an account that's about me learning to draw. I did this pattern: uploaded a pic from my phone, then write the description at my laptop. For each pic, I discuss what I learned and the overall journey. Nothing crazy. Nothing controversial. Nothing illegal in the remotest sense. It was taking me 10-15 minutes per pic, so I wasn't slamming the server. No VPN. My family asked me to set this up so that they can see my art instead of me texting pics. I was just doing this on my day off because I don't have time to mess with it during the week....It was flagged once, and I verified my contact info. It was flagged again an hour or so later, so they had me upload a face pic (which I did from their app). Then, an hour later, they say that it doesn't follow their community standards and that my account is permanently disabled.It all happened today. Only 15-20 pics total (I don't know exactly how many, so it's probably actually less).At this point, I can just vibe code a website for my artwork, but I would assume that what I am doing is exactly the thing that Instagram was intended for!

My guess is that a new account making 20 posts in a single day is a red flag for spam behavior. It would probably be best to post at a more natural rate.

Why not create a new profile on your existing account?
That’s the more standard practice with Instagram and Facebook.
Separate accounts almost certainly correlates with problematic behavior and your existing account is a basis for trust. In part because your stakes are higher.
While in this case, you didn’t lose hardly nothing.

I have a company that makes limited run art. My instagram was banned as soon as I created it, didn&rsquo;t even post anything.
