Can you draw people well? Enter to win $15 Steem (currently worth almost $100 USD) in my first portrait drawing contest!
I've been drawing since I was a child, and doing paid commissions since I was 14. This is one of my first drawings from 1993, when I was 15, 9" x 12", black colored pencil on paper.
I know what it's like to struggle as an artist, but I've been doing art full time for the past four years. Steemit has been a huge part of that, at least for this year. I joined back in June 2017, and since then, by sharing my art here part time, have made over 1/4 of my annual income. Thank you to all the people who have generously supported my work!
I'd like to give back with a contest to support new artists.
So here's the deal: If you're a new artist here on Steemit (2 months or less)...
- Enter your best realistic portrait drawing--pencil, colored pencil, charcoal, pen (head and shoulders drawing only, please) as a comment to this post. It doesn't have to be Michelangelo quality, just your best work. :)Please include the medium and dimensions, and title if you have one for it.
- The contest will end in 7 days after the date of this posting.
- At that point, I'll select the best drawing, and put out a new post announcing the winner.
- I'll transfer $15 steem (worth almost $100 USD) to the winner.
- I will also upvote the first, second, and third place entries.
So, get drawing, and I look forward to seeing your entries! Questions? Leave a comment and let me know.
All the best,
