"SEC - S9W4: "My Passion for the Arts"

Hello, everyone.

This is @aditi993.

How are you all? I hope you all are well and safe by grace of Almighty.
Today I am participating in the Steemit Engagement Challange titled, "SEC-S9W4: “My Passion for the Arts" in “Recreative Steem” community.

---

---

✅ What is the art that you are passionate about and why?

---

Well, I think people become passionate about something when they gain appreciation for their own skills and creativity in a specific sector. At a very young age, I was extolled for my drawing skills by my school's drawing teacher. Since then, drawing has become my passion and love. I also love craft.

---

---

✅ From what age did you discover that you had the ability to develop this art, have you taken classes or studies to improve it?

---

From a very early age, before going to school, my family appreciated my drawing. After I get admitted in school, my teacher and my classmates also extolled me for my drawing skills. That time, I discovered my ability to develop this art.
No, I didn’t take any classes or studies to improve this skill other than my simple school drawing classes, which are generally practiced in every school.

✅ What is your greatest inspiration when practicing this activity? Which famous character in this field do you identify with?

---

My greatest inspiration when practicing this activity is realistic genre paintings, and in this sector, my favorite character is the famous painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau, a French academic painter. He basically used mythological themes in his realistic genre paintings. I love realistic paintings, and I am trying to develop my painting skills.

---

---

✅ Do you practice this art professionally or are you just an amateur? Have you participated in any competition?

---

No, I do not practice it professionally, and I think that I am a beginner in this sector and should practice it more to develop my skill.

Other than my school drawing examination, I didn’t take part in any "drawing competitions" in my life. But at the same time, I think winning a competition encourages someone to develop their skill, but I believe that a person's entire skill, talent, and creativity cannot be judged by competition.

My journey on the Steemit platform is not so long. Within this period, I have taken part in some contests. These are given below:

I am going to share my drawing of a little bird, "Robin" with you.
I have presented my drawing step by step. I hope you can understand the steps how I draw it.

---

Drawing Supplies:
• Art paper,
• Sketch pencil 2B and 8B,
• Eraser,
• Pencil sharpener.

---

Drawing Steps:

Step 1:
At first, I have drawn shape of a little bird robin with 2B pencil.

Step 2:
Then I have drawn some curves to separate its parts of body. Then I have drawn its eye.

Step 3:
In this step, I have shaded its upper parts (head, eye, beak, and wings) properly.

Step 4:
Then I have shaded the rest of its abdomen properly.

Step 5:
Finally, I have drawn and shaded its claws, tail and a tree branch as if the bird is sitting on it.
