Who is an artist?
Is it the person who draws, paints.
Or is it the person who creates?
If you hear the word artist, the first few things that will come to your mind are painter, sketcher, cartoonist or maybe a musician.
The word artist has taken a very small meaning today and has confined itself to only a few fields.
Every artist has a different definition for the word, and maybe that's why there is no proper definition for it.
But if you ask me, I would say everyone is an artist in a way.
An artist is a person who is in a constant quest for truth.
Now the truth can be:
1. How to make others lives better and easier.
2. How to enlighten people.
3. How to give people something to cling to.
A web developer can be an artist, a marketing guy can be an artist, but what separates an average person from an artist is that an artist takes out "me" while doing his work.
Yes, if you are not doing your work for any materialistic thing like money, fame or even to help anyone, you are an artist.
An artist loves his work and is so lost in it that he does not care whether he is making progress or regress, but he is doing it because he wants to.
If you are a writer, you will not care if your writing makes money or not, if people love it or not. You will write just because you want to and that want differentiates ordinary people from artists in every field. Every artist has that want.
Being a newbie, I felt that I am not following enough people. So I tried to find out some people showing intense love for sketching and painting on steemit.
One such person that I came across was @aksinya. I was amazed to see how she has been organising contests to increase the interest of people in painting along with providing some incentives for the participants.
Support is one of the most important thing any artist wants, and she is providing it through her contests.
To appreciate her, I made a sketch of her. Hope you like it @aksinya.

These are the last few sketches made by me:
#4. Look What I Draw Today: Sketch for @acidyo.
Sketch of @sweetsssj made by me.
I will make some more sketches of the people who help me on my journey to learn about steemit and are providing some value to this platform by spending their time and sharing their quality content. If you like my work, follow me @travel-cuisine
