Thank you for sharing your beautiful art with us

In the WOX community, we have many artists who share their art
I would recommend that you post a maximum of one post per 24 hours and that you do not post the same art in several communities, that is important.

We look forward to seeing more of your art and welcome you to the Steem/Steemit and WOX community

It is not always easy to be seen and get comments on posts, but you will certainly make friends here

Thank you so much for the kind words.
I finally starting to feel that my effort is noticed.
I could not replied to you yesterday because I did not have Steem Power to answer.
It is all new to me, and I do not get it, yet.
From now on, I will post only on WOX.
I will do my best to contribute from my knowledge.
I am 50 years old, and I teach 6 days a week (art instructor), so I have a full life experience in drawing and painting that I can share.
My question is this: while being part of the VOX community and sharing my experience, how can I also contribute to Steemit.com?
Is it by adding tags like #drawing #painting #art?
In other social media I just share my knowledge or my art, and because people like it, it is shown more (I have 60K followers on Pinterest and lots of traffic from there).
Here it is different, and I do not get it yet. It is as if I need certain people to vote for me in order for my content to be seen.
Anyway, sorry for the long reply.
Thank you so much again,
Ran

There is a lot to learn on steem and it may be a good idea to read the steemit FAQ

https://steemit.com/faq.html

 2 years ago 

I read it before I joined Steemit, but it was so long, so I read only half I think :)

 2 years ago 

Yes, you will learn about steem afterwards 👍

Great job. Very cool work with shadows. At first I didn't even realize it was a drawing. Thought it was a photograph. How long have you been working on this masterpiece?

 2 years ago 

Hi, thanks you.
It was something like 3-4 weeks.

 2 years ago 

Three four weeks? What a lot of work and patience. It's amazing.

 2 years ago 

Indeed, I have a painting of a wave that took me 3 months. Usually 2-4 weeks is a good time for realistic oil painting.

3 months! How? You have great patience!

 2 years ago 

Indeed. I could have done it in a month and a half, but I always work on many things. It was a big painting, 90x60 cm.
Here it is:

It's amazing how to make your painting splash from a wave.

 2 years ago 

Yes, no point drawing or painting realism with no patience.
If there is no patience, sketching is great too.

 2 years ago 

I don't have the patience so I chose photography.

Until you wrote that it was an oil painting, I thought it was a photo... :)
Very realistic.

By the way, the WORLD OF PILAR community has a support program for newcomers and just active talented members of WOX.
The participant is simply required to be active in the community: create posts in it (once a day the post is supported by WOX curators), reply and comment, vote for the posts of other participants.
At the same time, 50SP is delegated to you for 14 days and there is an opportunity to get to the next stage (with a delegation of 250SP)/

I suggest you become a member of this program.
I am waiting for your decision in the response comment.

 2 years ago 

Hi, thank you. I do love realism.
I try to comment and vote, but I sometimes cannot, because I do not have SP.
I am not sure I understood about which program I should be member of. I am a member of VOX, I think...
All is new to me.

 2 years ago 

It is in order for you to be able to vote in this program that 50SP is delegated to you.
This is the program "14 days дайвинга"

Do you agree? :)

 2 years ago 

Oh, very nice.
I am not sure I can post everyday. I teach 6 days a week.
I try to make each of my tutorials helpful, so it is not something I want to rush.

 2 years ago 

Publication every day... it's just in your best interest because one post per day is maintained by the WOX team. But you can publish posts as you like.

 2 years ago 

I will try.
Yesterday I posted at night. Now it is afternoon. If I post now, and it is not 24 hours past, wouldn't it be like 2 posts a day? I do not want to spam.

 2 years ago 

I don't think 2 messages will be considered spam. Even 4. It's all about the support you can get.

 2 years ago 

Something is strange.
I up voted for you twice (green arrow), and it shows you lost 0.01 after I voted... so I should I vote more?

 2 years ago 

Thank you for voting :)
You only need to vote once. At the same time, you can see that the payout figure has decreased. But this is not the influence of your vote, but the result of a change in the token rate over time. It's fine, don't worry :)

 2 years ago 

Thank you. Now I am relaxed :)

Hi,
Thank you very much. I love realism.
I am sorry it took me time to reply. I did not have enough SP. I need to wait several hours from reply to reply.
I am not sure which program I should be a member of. I think I am a member of WOX.
Trying my best to write tutorials, comment, reply, vote, but I am very limited in SP.
Thanks again,
Ran

Hi Ran, I think I've already answered you above. If you have specific questions about posting, then don't hesitate to ask. If I can, I will be happy to answer.
I think you should start participating in the "14 days of diving" :))

 2 years ago 

Lets go. I will post soon again.

 2 years ago 

Oh, I already have 241 SP for now. So I guess I cannot participate.

 2 years ago 

In addition to the fact that SP will be delegated to you, I additionally monitor the publications of the participants and recommend them to be supported by the WOX team (one publication per day). I think this is an important point.
But you can choose your own path, of course :)

 2 years ago 

I am in. But the is a limit that I should not have more than 50 SP, and I have 241. Is it ok?

 2 years ago 

It's okay, you're in the game :)

 2 years ago 

Thanks.
I just need to remember to use the tag #steemexclusive.
Let me know after I post if I do something wrong, so I can fix for the next ones.
Thanks again :)

I think I am getting out of these challenge.
I already written 3 guides, but nobody see them anyway.
It takes time. I sometimes change one sentence 5 or 6 times, to make it right.
I am going to do like everybody else for now.
Meaning, uploading a simple drawing.
I have hundreds of cartoons and comics I drew. I can do that forever.
Anyway, thank you so much for the opportunity, but I cannot do it for 14 days, when nobody sees it.
I really do not get Steemit.
:)
