Is it possible? I tried and it failed, using the URL of the image itself will give "bad source" warning. Should I even try uploading from Instagram?

Uploading from Instagram through the bookmarklet/extension isn't supported and isn't likely to ever be added since it's a Facebook platform. You're allowed to post art from there of course but you'd have to manually pull the image and add commentary. It can be very time consuming if you decide the actually link all the hashtags, but whether it's worth it or not depends on how you feel about the artist in question and the availability of their work. If it's an artist you think is very good and they don't post on any supported sites or have pieces exclusive to Instagram then I would I say it's worth the effort in those cases.
bad source - probably the link is wrong or the site can't find the image. Then you should save it to your device and choose to publish the post via file.
Facebook/Instagram/Threads are not the best file sources. Make sure the artist doesn't post better quality elsewhere.

You can use the bookmarklet on the full size image like you did, just remember to correct the source and add the commentary. I'd only upload from Instagram if it was the only or best place the image was available.
I see. Well, this artist I found seems to only do traditional media drawings and only post them on Youtube and Instagram. He/she puts like 30+ hashtags in many posts so it's a pain to link them all. Also, now that I think about it, I'm not sure if the drawings are original or based on official art despite the videos showing them being drawn from scratch.
Probably not worth the trouble at all. Thanks for your answers.
