My Colored Pencil Work in Progress
👋 Hello nice to meet you all. My father @gems.and.cookies introduced this group to me and said I should say hi and know the community.
You may call me Jazz 🤍 I’d love to post my arts and crafts. I was formally trained in art at year 2012-2013. It was fine arts major in painting. I did not finish it but I was thoroughly trained with dry medias and a bit on water based medias.
My strength is in colored pencils, ball pens and pastels. I think because there’s more control to the pigment source. Here are my work in progress photos and the final art piece in the end!
Let the Art Begin!!!!

This is unfinished. But beginning March to May I hope to finish this artwork so I can have it framed and hung if it looks good. # Got any art to share? I would love to share ideas and art with fellow creators! I got so much more especially crafts 💚💚💚 ## Thank you so much!
Welcome to the family Jacinta, I'm glad to know that you studied art to some extent at least that mean communicating with you using some artistic terminologies would yield beautiful results. Even at the unfinished stage, the pieces speaks dedication and confidence already. The way you use your hue and graduate your tones, I love that so much and I sincerely would love to see more of your beautiful pieces around here. If you do have any questions or suggestions, you can always reach me via a comment. Welcome to the family once again, we're happy to have you around 🥰
Oh Hi there whats your name where you from?
Thank you for the warm welcome!
You really are observant and I am sure you know a lot about art as well🙏
I will definitely share a compilation of works and tell you all about them. Thank you!
You can call me tezzmax, I'm from Nigeria. I'll be waiting to see the beauties you have in stock. 😎
Reminds me of the good old days, while I was starting out with charcoal and colored pencils..it’s good to welcome you to the community and we hope to see more from you☺️
Good old days? If they are good keep doing it!
Yeah, sure I still do…
But my first glance on the piece were memories 💫
Hey, thanks for sharing your art with the Community. I do hope the members here will get to appreciate your works as much as I do. Nice to see you back with your colored pencils. This piece, although unfinished, looks really awesome.
I have made some friends here who I would surely like for you to meet too, especially the moderators of the Community @wakeupkitty.pal and @joslud. And the funniest artist in the making @henryclive and his buddy Auggie 🤣.
Thank you, friend, for bringing us that great artist.
Be proud. 😍
It was my pleasure and honor to have her come over here. I know she has a lot to share.
Proud dad here 🥰
Yes, you did make some friends here although I believe we met elsewhere. So here's the brain behind your photos?
BTW @tezzmax is a moderator too. @grebmot where are you? How about you hosting an art comment show again? Come say "hello" or are you still in music or #retrogames?
Oh yes, I'll always remember 😆 One of the nicest things to have ever happened to me in this platform 🫠
She's about 50% of the brains behind the photos 📸 She's a member of the Board of Censors for my PhotoChain releases hahaha 😆
Thanks for the heads up about another moderator @tezzmax. No mention in the Community profile when I was searching. Anyway, you think we can recruit her to the, "you-know-where"? 🤞
I guessed it was her. Akways good to have a Board of Censor 🤣 I wonder if you learned something after all those photos you took. How many times did you join from the first day on?
I have a look if tezzmax is mentioned it should be and also be visible in his label. I started the community because of him.
Of course, we can recruit her, I am sure she knows how to take a photo (the rest she already did. 🤭).
Not only her. There's my other daughter, my grandson and the chief censor, my wife. It's a gauntlet to post an entry 🤣🤣🤣
I've joined PhotoChain even before the fork, when the other blockchain was born. Must have been over 5 years. Oh yes, I've learned a lot. I'll let you in on a secret. The times I get overruled or censored over what to enter, I make a post so I can show the photo I want hehehe. Then I'll say, "I wanted to enter this photo but my wife or daughter or grandson says otherwise." Then I wait for a reaction or a comment. Funny, all the comments, not that I get a lot, agree on their choice. (Are they all just being nice? hahaha). But I don't mind. I am enjoying a lot.
Of course, they are all just being nice, what do you think?
Just kick in the photo you like, it doesn't really matter and it should be your entry.
I must say at times my kids help me search something but they never say don't do it. They listen or read my tales and that's enough.
How was PhotoChain years back?
I don't really recall how it was years back. It wasn't a comment contest then so you had to make a post and attach the link to your post in the comment section. There were quite a number who participated but no interaction the way it is now. Participants were a bit impersonal and most comments were just from the host. Now that you asked, I think I'll go back and revisit this. It'll be like going down memory lane. 😀
Of course I have the final say but I just give way to them to create their interest in the Contest. They're so involved now that even my 8 year old grandson asks me every week what the new PhotoChain keywords are. 😊
Thanks pa, did not want to waste the paper and my initial efforts. Followed them too 💚💜🤍
How about jouning the Photochain dear?

You know the topic break and empty
@grebmot can you take a photo? Empty shoe, sock or taking a break?
How are you? I had a look at my paint and (partly) yesterday and still feel cold ☹️
🍀♥️
Most of the times I'm just barefoot and nobody wants to see my ugly Hobbit feet, I'm sure of it.
It's not that I'm taking a break as much as me just neglecting my homework, kind of. I've been wondering if I should start a to-do list or some such, because I'm losing track of things. Like that review we've been talking about, or outlining my stretching routine (it's not that fancy).
Oh, I've got an idea for a comment contest, but more for the Freewriters rather than Art & Artists. Something along the lines of describing ones personal idea of utopia. It's kind of a trick question of sorts because most never really think about it in detail. Might provocate some discussion.
If you ask me hobbits are popular and even filmed and hey, foot fetish is real and more common than people admit - barefeet is better than wearing shoes. 🤣
Utopia
I would say go provoke the (free)writers you can poke where you like. The commenters can help pinching. Don't forget to tag them.
I also started a to-do-list for the xxxxx time. I just wish I would look at it and I don't see things that distract me but it is a great idea (to consider it)
Tea time!
🍀♥️
Thank you!
Oh, your daughter—she’s truly a master of her craft! I always suspected there was an art genius behind your photos. 😏
Appreciate the intro, but ‘funniest’? Come on, you’re underselling me! 😂😂
If there was any underselling in my intro, I think it was after the word "funniest." You're not an"artist in the making." You are already an artist. I saw your sketch of your entry to PhotoChain, which you cancelled (remember the bird perched on a branch?) and that piece to my mind was so good it would have won hands down.
And of course, your painting of the stripes on the forehead of a canvass was a masterclass. Imagine changing a bully into a zebra wow!!! Hahahahahaha 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Are you laughing or sweating because you said something?
Remember the time he drew stripes on Auggie's forehead? Hahahaha 😆
I do.. you are laughing!
Yes I am 😁
Welcome to this community @ jacinta.sevilla (alias: Jazz 🤍)
The details of the piece you share with us are really powerful and show your skill in working with colored crayons. Part of the sketch I saw tells me that it will be a great piece of an angel's fight. Who is he fighting against? Will he appear?
I have many other curious questions:
What paper do you use? I see that it is grainy?
Did you apply a watercolor base to the hair and part of the torso? Or are they markers?
Is the model an illustration?
Feel free to show us your arts and hobbies. You can use the tag #artonsteemit

Hi there!
#artonsteemit !! Definitely using that on my next post. Thank you so much.
What’s your name?
I used polychromos colored pencils on watercolor paper.
This originally was a watercolor piece which didn’t end the way I wanted so I drew over it. And thankfully it worked. And definitely yes that’s why it is grainy or textured.
I like what you said about it being a battle, definitely will draw the enemy.
I just hope I can get back to art as soon as possible.
Your warm welcome makes me feel motivated 🙏🙏🙏 thank you so much!
Dear, you can see the names mentioned by Steemit. We wear more than one hat here. 🥴
Hi Jaz, welcome to Art & Artists, you are the first I know who likes colouring, super. I wonder if you thought about making a job out of it.
Like @joslud I like to know if you used an example and what paper you used (mg) is it meant for watercolour use as well?
As far as I can see your drawing look awesome and it reminds me a bit of MIchel Angelo. I hope you will show it once it is finished.
NOTE
The first hashtag of the community is: #artonsteemit
There also went something wrong with your images. I see part of the the codes. I am not sure if there is another image that doesn't show (see at the bottom of your post) or that it only misses the )
I look forward to see more crafts and art from you.
Hi thank you for the hashtag suggestions!
Ill take a look again at what mg this is. Its not super thick paper but its standard for most brands. I have not painted/drawn in such a while that Ive even forgotten the mg of the paper omy!!!!
(Alarming)
Oh yes some extra codes appear when i copy paste the contents and repaste it. Its always happened to me eversince i Jumped on this platform.
To answer your question on if I ever considered on making a job,
I do attend art exhibits and oftentimes my art sells out (thankful!) its just at times I can’t prioritize it over my regular job (as a german language teacher)
But I definitely miss it! Thats why im so excited to have some free time to just paint 🙏🙏🙏
It is a painting of GUIDO RENI
1635, Baroque style.
Thank you and sorry I feel now how I should have added more information 🥲😂🙏🫶
Happy to meet you all!!!!
Thanks for answering. If regular it sounds like 80mg though it looks thicker to me if I see the structure but can be you have different types of paper.
You can edit your post anytime and add the information and the hashtags.
It's good to have you around. Have fun!
🍀♥️
Pity you don't edit it means we can't nominate you
Sorry.
👍
