My drawing from the series «Beard man» №1
Hello all Steemers! 🤗
I want to introduce you to my series of portraits «Beard man» (each portrait has its own story). 😏
Today I want to introduce you to my first portrait in the style of Dotwork. This was the first work in this style.🎨 I draw with 2 years old, but Dotwork in my life for 5 years. I began to master this style from one mini-history. 🧐
I was 16 years old when I became seriously interested in tattoos. This art form introduced me to Dotwork. I looked at the complex patterns on the skin. I didn't understand how tattoo artists paint with dots. 😱This style didn't go out of my head. I felt that it was mine.

Once I had a row with my friend.😣 His name is Denis. I'm not used to keeping a negative in myself, because think it kills the soul. And I appreciate my friends and decided to ask for forgiveness in an unusual way. 🤔I decided to paint his portrait.
This portrait took me 8 hours. I drew and did not notice the time, I dissolved in paper. When the drawing was finished, I had the idea to add a symbol that is associated with Denis. It was an anchor (аnchor is a symbol of good luck and loyalty, stability and self-confidence). Even now I use such small characters.
Funny fact 🤭
Do you know what's funny? After this portrait, my friend entered the Maritime University and decided to become a seaman. 🚢⚓🚤

Hmm ... Maybe I'm psychic ??? 😱 Or maybe Denis liked the portrait so much? 😊
But this is not important, because now he really has such a tattoo. Not on the face, but still.
The end of the story was simple☝
Do you know what's weird? I do not remember why we quarreled. But I remember the reaction of Denis. He was shocked.
The first thing he asked: "Is this my portrait? Really?" 😳
Second: "Stop! Stop! Is that a dots? A lot of dots? Yes? How?" 😱🖍
The years go by. People ask the same questions. This style has become my calling card.😎 I still add tattoos to the portraits. My work goes to exhibitions, but the first portrait is forever in my heart. A quarrel helped me find myself as an artist.👩🎨🎨
I understand that my mini-story may seem uninteresting, but it is mine. I cherish her because she helped me see myself in a new way. 👀
So glad that you sorted out your row with art!! That's awesome :)
