My Sketches: Stretching Rusty Hands After 7 years

in #art7 years ago (edited)

Hi everyone, as I continue to search through my archives, I have finally found something I thought I lost it.

We used to have a platform that pays for uploading content before, it was called TSU where I met some of the coolest people online and also later in person; from Kuala Lumpur to Rotterdam.

And I remembered when I saw some of the most beautiful birds captured by the professional photographers there I could not help but to give it a try.

Do you believe I technically never really drawn a bird?

I used to sketch a lot of humans, that's where the manga practices came from, and a lot of image editing too, where you can see my sharing at Once addicted game. And how I improved my writing and my image editing little by little..

Trees and still objects, well, I didn't do that well in high school.

Animals, insects; I never did, not in details. I think... EVER. Not even in 2B pencils.

So at the moment, back in 2015, I stared at the beautiful photo on my phone.

Why not?

 

Came to my mind.

And at that spur of a moment, I picked up the pen...

And this is what I had, my first sketch technically after 7 years from the day I sketched that little bumble bee cutie and it was not a human figure. :)

I can't say it is perfect, but I can't say it is worth down the trash either.
Those who saw this before at the platform would definitely be @elizacheng .

I am not sure if Bev is here in steemit. If she is, she is one of the best professionals for bird photography I have ever come across. I totally loved her work. So much that I attempted to stretch my fingers again.

There are times when you think that what you used to have you have lost it, it is not the case. Each of us has that something creative, beautiful, marvellous in us that is just dormant; and when we have that tiny mustard seed of faith to pick it up again, take that one step forward, be eager to learn and fail and pick ourselves up again, who knows what we can achieve?

Well done first of all for the bird sketch. You have a great talent no doubt and I encourage you to pursue that whether in your free time or even monetize it by listing your work at some of the popular marketplaces like 500px.com or behance.net

p.s. you've commented on one of my posts 2 days back and i've picked this great post of yours to say thank you but also provide my genuine thoughts on it :)

You really did something beautiful. Congratulations.
My girlfriend is in some way, driving his emotions from an art technique and she is having excellent works. I post some of them in my blog, i hope you can check them out! Have a good night and keep it up!

Thanks @nachinsen . Sure I will check it out. Do you have a specific hashtag to look on?

No! But you can easily find it by searching French Art & Decoupage. Thanks!

oh, that's your gf's work??

Awesome drawing! uhm... I am not sure whether I have seen this back in tsu... please forgive my bad memory... =_=

You might... you might not. At that time I might not have known you yet.... ? I remembered when I first joined TSU was from another social network platform jumping into it, and I remembered the first few who greeted were Carin, and I think Han too... oh and the guy from Netherlands... I cannot remember him now. (not Vincent)
Anyway, that was 2 years back and too many things happened LOL.
