The Jaguar - An experiment...

Sometimes we as individuals try to make new things and challenge ourselves to go beyond, perhaps is human nature to put a little change in our tasks and the next post is the very example of someone doing it with his art @klaut who took his everyday drawings and record himself making it, you know to spice it up a bit, and the watercolor, in the end, is really good!

Here's something different... I tried to record a short video of me drawing. The result is not the best one... but that's ok. I guess I'll improve the more I do them. However, I've noticed I was feeling a little bit pressured drawing like that. And that's why I think the drawing didn't turn out as good as I hoped. Oh well. Next time is going to be better... - @klaut
This is a really active author and really gifted artist with miles of sketches in his blog, every one of those pieces have his unique style impregnated in each trace, from practices and more academical ones, if you'll like to see the development of an artist throught time this is a blog you will surely enjoy!

INspiration can be found in a million places and can have a million faces, sometimes admiration and some more often is just "Hey! I can do that too... and better!!!", there, @edgecelize found his inspiration and put all his effort and creativity on doing a better version of

My friends brother has a door plaque of his Hogwarts house of Gryffindor and I'm not going to lie about how insanely poor and jealous I am at it. So being the little artist I am I decided, hey, I might have enough artistic ability to try and sculpt myself a door plaque instead of buying one for a price I apparently cannot afford. - @edgecelize
If go around touring this author's blog you'll find his main content is centered around photography and the edition of said photographies, but this one is an artist of many talents and you'll be surprised by a few posts with a different focus here and there!

Planning is the first step you should take before doing everything even art and photography, even more, @johannvdwalt made that post clear with his post where he goes deep in the technical part of photography which is often forgotten but really important if you want your material to be the best possible, this is where art resembles science the most!

The planned photography tour will be taking place in the greater Guilin area, as well as in Shenzhen. The photography requirements for these two areas will be very different, so I thought it good to break it up into several different analyses. - @johannvdwalt
This programmer with a passion for photography is a seasoned Steemian, being in the platform for more than two years, he centered his content around photography and saying that he's good is an understatement, his knowledge about that discipline is vast and the best part he shares it with all of us, so for all those photography fans, here you got a mentor!

Soma have dog, others cat, some like me may want a dragon, but that's another story but certain people like @stanmr decide to have a garden, an indoor garden and of course it is really bad for everyone when our babies get sick, that is precisely the story in this post, how he discovered and managed to rescue most of his precious garden from a pest, it may not seem like it but it is an emotional rollercoaster! maybe I like plats a lot too

Back in November of 2018 I started an indoor garden in my basement. I had brought in a couple of things to over winter from our garden. Swiss chard and collard greens. We also started some broccoli, carrots and chamomile from a kit the kids had. We hoped to be able to supplement our meals through the winter with a little home grown roughage. Now this is not my first indoor garden, not by a long shot. But I've never had any issues like what I'm going to tell you about. - @stanmr
This author is a newcomer for the platform but one with a passion for his growing garden, where he finds solace from the stress of life and gives and grows life himself, that's what we are going to find if we go around his blog, he's new and doesn't have too much material but I'm sure his blog and garden have the potential to grow, a lot!

We're gonna close this showcase with some music, hailing from Poland we have @yourmind a talented 20 years old girl making her own version of the song In my head by Ariana Grande, first making it her own and giving it new life through the particular vocal tone, a great effort for a cover that gives the original a run for its money!

This young woman took the internet and our platform as her public, giving pieces of advice to other artist and mostly making covers of the hit songs of the moment we can assure you that with her talent she'll be blowing up right now and you can see that happening following her blog!

Loving the fact that even the crypto-winter could not stop those who are committed and more than dedicated to creating top notch content.
This plus genuine, heartfelt engagement within the community is a massive part of the solution. It cannot solve every issue on the platform, but it can prove that enough people are here with the right ideals and a genuine love of the community for growth to continue toward mass adoption.
Kudos to those who can do nothing other than be creative and write compelling, thought provoking posts YOU are where it's at, you are what this was designed for.
There is FUD in the air...I have read several times in several places that STEEM is dead. I laugh out loud when I hear this, because I see the amazing creative, professional standard content creators here, I am lucky enough to have access to the posts they create and as an extra super-duper cool bonus...I get to rub shoulders with you all and am often given tips, tricks and techniques to become a more effective content curator and content creator too!
STEEM is dead? HA! It's barely begun it's infancy, the future is going to stagger many of us beyond belief, our perception limits will be tested, expanded and smashed through.
Stay awesome, keep up the creativity and leading by example... The future is closer than you think. 🙂
Hey, @stevenwood.
I agree with what you said here regarding the creatives, their resiliency to weather the bear market because something inside them compels them to create, and that STEEM is not dead. Not yet. Not while it is still young, and there are still those of us here trying to earn stake and build communities.
There is a tendency to get caught up in the here and now, or the details, where the big picture gets lost. The point being, we don't know why the markets move or don't move. I've found little correlation to what's happening here having any influence on what investors do. It's natural to believe in some form of cause and effect, but I don't think enough people know about STEEM in the investor world, let alone the public at large, for what we do now to determine anything, other than dollars aren't flowing in because STEEM is not yet a household name.
I do believe, though, that it certainly can be, and that little by little, it will be. Time and patience is what is needed.
I'm beyond honored to be mentioned for a piece I didn't even think would get any attention. This is awesome that you guys show case content that would other wise be lost in the sea of now popular post, I am grateful and thankful for this highlight🤝🏻🤝🏻🤝🏻🤝🏻🤝🏻
This really a great platform to showcase great content which are under the radar.
I'm speechless... Thank you! It means a lot to me :)
