Hello Steemit, this is my first post an and introduction one.
I'm Dzulfikar, using the nick , because I start it from 17, my age by now. yep, I'm a high-school student from Indonesia. I was born and live in Kebumen, a small district in Central-Java, a province of Indonesia, laid in Java Island. I heard this Steemit things from my art-teacher,
, who's been here for about 2 months as he told me. I hit the signed-up button about three weeks ago and has been approved for couple days ago. After reading some articles here to gain a brief view of what it's all about, I think it's my time to start it up.
Did I said my art teacher? Yes, I've been interested in visual art form about a year ago, mainly for the purpose of polishing my skill in graphic-design. I mainly learn about digital drawing and colouring. I don't have that specific kind of subject in my school, so I learn it by myself delving into tutorials on the internet and joining some seniors who's already earn a living on that field. Lucky for me there's a local informal-forum of graphic-design and digital-art activist here in my town. is a member of that community. We share info, tricks and things like that around our interest: art and design. Most of them make a living from online marketplace of microstocks and design-contests.
Here's a capture of one of our gathering:
My town, Kebumen, is a small town. It's the capital of a district with the same name, Kebumen District. Most of it's land is paddy's field, and most of it's citizens is farmers and merchant. So graphic design and computers thing is rarely a topic to be pursued here. There's short courses about it by a small informal institutions but stereotipically empasizing on how to basicly operate the graphic software. Thank God I've meet this small community of the same interest. I can polish my skill by deeper subject of taste, trends, and some other...well.. developed topic of the main theme. Here also, I've met , a long time blogger who's also learn grahic-design informally. I learn a bit about blogging from him, and have never start a blog before, so I think this is my chance of implementing things I've learnt while gaining some friends here on Steemit. Hope I can find other people and teachers and develope positive things while having some fun of 'steeming'.
So, that's all for now. See you on another posts.
