The last couple of months have been a bit of a relative struggle for me personally though, which has left me with little time or energy for blogging. But the time has come for me to get back in the steemit saddle and begin finishing some of the things that I've started, as well as realising some of my own personal ambitions for the platform. So you can expect to see me posting and engaging much more regularly from now on.
To get me going again, I've decided to post a few drawings, just as I did when I first joined the platform. As I mentioned in a post some months ago, I'd really like to be able to earn a living from drawing for a lot of reasons, the main one being that it would allow me the opportunity to work from home and spend more time with my young son. I understand that earning a living as an artist can be really difficult and you only have to look around at the quality of work being posted by so many members of our community to understand why.
The talent on display here is phenomenal and can even be a little bit intimidating at times. :)
But I have no intention of letting that put me off and hopefully at some point in the near future I'll be offering my services to anyone who might be interested, whether in the real world or here on steemit. I have no problem with it being difficult either because I'm not looking to get rich from drawing a few pictures. I'd be happy if it was enough to just 'get me by', as I try to structure my life in such a way that I 'need' as little money as possible anyway.
The need for money is something that we all endure though and like so many of us here, I'm hoping that my investment in steemit will one day pay off so I want to do all I can to ensure that I'm in a good position if and when that time comes. So if I can earn enough to get by for now and keep powering up my steemit account, I'd be happy with that. :)
My good friend 
Today I've done a portrait sketch of one of my favourite singer/songwriters at the moment, Ed Sheeran. He's been playing in my home city of Glasgow this weekend and everyone here seems to be going crazy for him so since I couldn't go and see him myself, I thought I'd make him the subject of my first 'Celebrity Sketch'.
If for some reason you've had your head in the ground for the last few years and don't know who Ed Sheeran is, please take the time to have a look at the video I've included below of my favourite Ed Sheeran song, 'Photograph'. It really is an awesome song and if you're not aware of him yet I'm sure you'll be a big fan by the time the song's finished. :)
Thanks a lot for taking the time to read my post and have a look at my drawing. I really appreciate it. If you enjoyed it please keep an eye out for more in future. :)
Have a wonderful day, my friends! :)
