Learn To Draw With Friends! is Back!!! :)

Image Credit - @w0olf - Winner - Week One!!

Have you ever wanted to learn how to draw or improve your already existing drawing skills? :) Do you fancy having the chance of winning some SBD prizes while you do?? Then this is definitely the contest for you. :)

Each week I pick a theme and post three images for entrants to choose from. The images have been chosen to reflect three different skill levels, beginner , intermediate and advanced!

All you have to do is choose the image that you feel best suits your skill level and have a go at drawing it.

It Couldn't Be Simpler! :)

As I mentioned, the whole point of the contest is to learn to draw or improve your existing skills and the way we do that is by giving each other encouragement and support. The contest is designed to be fun, with an emphasis on learning and improving skills....it is not just for talented artists. I am particularly keen to encourage those new to drawing to enter and if you have children I would suggest getting them involved as well. I will be happy to accept their entries on your behalf. :)

It is also designed to help make new friends and gain new followers so that we can support each other on the platform. I would encourage everyone who takes part to also take the time to check out the blogs of the other entrants and see if they have anything to offer you in terms of your own interests as well as voting for the entries you like yourself. :)

If you like the idea but still don't think it's for you then at least consider supporting the entrants by voting and if you think any of your followers would be interested I would also encourage you to make them aware of the contest by resteeming this post!

We all need a little help from our friends at times! :)

I would also suggest that anyone who takes part make their own posts for their own blog with their entries as others have done such as our winner from week two, @steempowerpics whose post can be seen by clicking the link below.

It could prove a very useful way of getting you support for the contest itself and introduce you to new users at the same time. Win, win! :)
