Since I entered the HIVE world I have dedicated a little more time to art, especially graphite portraits, I have discovered the power that communities have in inspiring you to make your publications, although sometimes you do not feel valued, you look at drawings or publications of other people who earn more than you and think it is not fair, in a way it is so, but we must learn to give thanks, at least thousands of people are seeing your content, it's like a gallery and you are showing your exhibition.

I have learned not to compare myself with others, I prefer to compare my previous drawing with the new one, to learn from my mistakes, to discover why I have not had the same acceptance that I got at the beginning, for this reason I decided to invest some money to improve my art, to make a more varied content, add color, make watercolors, etc. I withdrew some of my earnings in HIVE, although I knew it would not reach me I was grateful because it was a help to buy my materials and tools.

I decided to go to the art store again, every time I go I want to buy so many things, but I control myself when I see the prices (art things are not cheap), I looked at some Faber Castell super soft colors and I did not hesitate to buy them, I added some cheap watercolors, a couple of white Pitt pastel pencils (medium and soft), 2B leads, Faber Castell 0.4 stylus, a cutter, eraser with brush, sketch, a couple of drawing pads of different weights. In the end I spent more than I had withdrawn in HIVE, but I don't regret it, because it was worth it. Outside the art store I bought swabs and sandpaper for my pencils.

It will not be the first or the last time I invest in my drawings, but I wanted to share it with you as a way of reflection so that you don't get discouraged and end up abandoning HIVE. Maybe my numbers will not increase, maybe not even that investment will work, but I do not do it for that purpose, I do it for me, to change my level, to be professional, and with my progress and growth I will be satisfied, I hope you are too, it is not necessary to invest to improve, but if you can do it I recommend it, because it feels good when you do something to improve, let's fight to publish better content and learn to be grateful to HIVE for bringing out the best in each of us.
