A Year of Digital Art - WEEK 0 - Intro
For some time I have been trying to learn to draw, but so far my attempts have not paid off. The fault of this probably is my lack of constancy. But recently I have acquired a Wacom Intuos, and I am very excited about the idea of, finally, dedicating myself seriously to learning digital drawing.
And I will use Steemit to help me achieve it.
Some time ago I saw a lecture on "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Artists", by Andrew Price, and one of the most interesting points of which he spoke was the "self-bribery": getting some way in which you force yourself to move towards the goal you set for yourself. In his case he made a bet with his cousin. I will use this wonderful platform.
My Goal
Each week, throughout 2018, I will have to make a post with a drawing, or some specific practice to which I have dedicated the week. I'm still trying to get a way to record the screen while drawing, so I can eventually share the recordings of the process with you.
How You Can Help Me
If you want to be part of this project, and help me in my purpose, all you have to do is leave me a comment that includes the following:
WilmarNM, I want to help you learn to draw, so this week I will be one of your "sponsors".
Each week I will have the deadline for my weekly publication on Sunday at 8:00 PM, Caracas time. If the deadline is reached, and I have not published anything, I will divide ALL the SBD earned with the publication of the previous week among the "sponsors" of that week.
I invite you all to become my sponsors, although I warn you, I will do my best not to ever have to share with any of you my precious SBD;)
Week 0: My Starting Point
This first publication will serve to show the level that I currently have, although do not be fooled by this first drawing, much of it I did "tracing" the reference image, because at the moment I am trying to get used to the Wacom, and Learn Photoshop drawing tools.
You will see that when I start creating my own drawings it will look much worse :(

Haha that's a cool approach to motivate yourself !
I can only encourage your initiative,you have my upvote and follow!
In case you are out of inspiration one week, maybe it helps you to join one or the other Steemit Art contests!
I compile every week a list of traditional art and craft contests, but some of them are also allowing digital.
