Hi guys,
So I remembered my first post on this platform, https://steemit.com/photography/@ftender/to-tolaish-tb
I was so excited about sharing my talent (visiual art and a bit of writing) but to my disapointment it got me just 5 votes with no reward.lol. So i thought, i would just do posts on random topics.
Then I came accross the 'artzone announcement' post by

This is titled...
THE FUTURE
The future is blurring...
Chilhood dreams; the future will be TOMORROW
The future is astounding:
Youthful exuberance; the future is NOW
The future is baffling
Adulthood regrets; the future was YESTERDAY
The future is near-surreal...
The future...
It is the YESTERDAY you are TODAY, and will be TOMORROW
Yours,
An angry foreteller

I'll take you through the art before i try to explain my written thoughts.
I used gridlines to make my drawing easier, to get the proportions right and not have a distorted figure. Once that was done, I drew the outline of the entire drawing.
Then I continued with the shading...the highlights; I used a white prismacolor color pencil. I needed to get the degree of highlights perfectly to give it the effect of the reflection of light off the skin of the model.
Once I was sure of my outline, I cleaned out the gridlines.
There you go guys, the process... It looked like it was easy now that i'm typing but mehn, it took some mental strength.
The writeup...
Your future starts the day you are born...or better still the day you become self conscious. It is up to you to take charge in due time so you can say at the end of your life...
