Me and a couple of friendssteemCreated with Sketch.

in #busy7 years ago

First time here, very interested in the #Steem platform. I work as a frontend dev for a relatively young (4 years now) but healthy company and I love to draw.

Some time ago I did a sketchy self-portrait for my social profile picture and suddenly a lot of friends asked me to do one for them too because they liked the style.

At first I was a bit surprised and felt not ready for drawing portraits of so many people (I am not good in catching those details that make a drawn figure look like the real one) but I would be lying if I'd say I was not honoured. I then tried to draw a friend of mine, who is crazy for cats, adding a #grumpycat as a special guest.

This time I didn't do a good job: the similarity was almost there but there's something in the style I didn't like. Maybe the cat, which looked too flat, maybe the eyes of my friend, not very simmetrical. Anyway, he liked it a lot and put it on his social profiles...so I was curious to try again and...

this came out! I'm pretty happy with this result. The guy is a dreamer and has gorgeous eyes and I think I got his character emerge from my blue-ish lines.

I wonder how many #sketchers are on steem and if they like to share tips with me or just show me their results!

Hi Thank you for #introducingyourself. Im myself quite new in steemit community but I realized that there are few things you could do to have a better start:
Mostly I invested a little bit in STEEM in order to purchase STEEM POWER and STEEM DOLLARS. Why? Its simply important. Without initial investment it will be very hard for you to build reach here and be noticed.

Im not sure if you ever heard about this site:
