THIS IS JUST A TEST. PLEASE BE GENTLE JUDGING ME.
The following is a non-artist's brave entry to an Art Challenge.
Just because I have already found my courage, I am posting my FIRST art challenge entry:
Learn To Draw With Friends! by @tonyr
This week's theme is animals - 3 animals chosen by the author. PENGUIN (Beginner), BIRD (Intermediate) and LION (Advanced).
As I kid, I loved to draw. I remember a lot of other kids or even the older ones asked me to draw for them. Until one day I seemed to have lost it. And very rarely do I draw again.
So I drew this penguin while at work.
In between demanding client calls, talking to irrational providers and loads of emails using 2 accounts, I totally lost it and decided to take a moment to peek at my steemit account.
There it was, it says "Learn to Draw with Friends".
Who would not want to learn how to draw?! Woundn't it be more fun if done with friends?!
On my desk I have a staedtler HB pencil. I grabbed it and a sheet of paper and started to draw. When I finished drawing and was about to color, I realised that of course I do not have an orange color pencil to use. So I used the closest thing I've got- a yellow highlighter.
Here's a snap of a part of my desktop showing original challenge photo:
I am not yet quite happy with my result but this would have to do for now. 😉
A Week Full of Challenges
This week has been the best steemit experience yet for me in the past 6 weeks that I have been here on this platform.
I am so happy that I have joined @merej99's Community Challenge.
It is a 10-day challenge wherein participants would have to write at least 7 articles and write 500 comments!
500 comments! That is a huuuggee task!
So for the past 6 days now, not only am I keeping up with @merej99's challenge. I have been doing what my original objective here is- post at least one piece per day.
Here's a list of my recent blogs that you may want to see too:
Post 1 = Nifty or Thrifty: What Kind of a Mommy are you? - Part 3
Post 2 = In the Eyes of a Child
Post 3 = The Quest to Olympus: Halted. Romans vs Greeks
Post 4 = English Only Please. The Struggle is Real! (My Story)
Post 5 = Where Am I? A Glimpse of Abu Dhabi
The challenge was also a great medium for my posts to be seen by more people. Twice, I was featured on @steemwizards' featured one of "Authors of the Day" on their Curation Trail. I already consider myself a winner because of that.
Steemwizards - New curation trail - Day 8
Steemwizards - New curation trail - Day 12
Sorry guys, my post... let me brag a little. LOL
This week I also realized (yet again) that the best way to enjoy steemit is to engage.
I wish though, that I can find more time to do this - juggling through an 8 hour job, kids, hubby and home...
I still think it is doable. So, here I am. Trying. Not quitting.
May the force of the STEEM be always in our favor!
