MY NEW ARTWORK - BALL POINT PEN DRAWING OF LUCKY DUBE / TITLE: YOUR TIME/EFFORT IS WORTH THE REWARD

in #artzone6 years ago (edited)

Hello steemains, today I brought a new drawing from my art series - Famous/celebrities.

After my previous drawing which I entitled 'believe in your self' , I found this drawing more than interesting to work on, irrespective of how many hours I will have to sacrifice. It is the portrait of Lucky Dube, one of the legendary artists who always inspire me to keep drawing even when am down, broke or bored and I entitled it "Your Time/Effort Is Worth The Reward".

  • In life, in whatever we engage in, as beginners or newbies, we usually find it very difficult to break through, get recognition and attention. Despite putting much more effort and sacrificing a whole lot of time to create grate content/product, the rewards are usually below our expectations.
  • After examining the whole outcome and realizing the reward is below per, we start questioning ourselves and wishing we never had done it in the first place, we wished we never had spent such precious time - brainstorming, collecting, compiling, rearranging - in order to crate such content/product and we asked how long shall it take for people to start appreciating our effort/work.
  • But (am here to tell you to) never give up. Your time is worth the reward. Just a matter of time. All you need to do is to keep creating good products/contents. Keep engaging, keep developing, and keep helping people solve their problems. With time, you will be recognized, you will be rewarded even much more than you had expected.
  • Incorporate your life with what gives you joy, keep doing what you love doing and what brings happiness to your life. With time, you will be rewarded, your hard work will pay, your effort will be appreciated and your impact will be felt.
  • Your time is worth the reward if only you will be patient enough, if only you can see beyond the presence and if only you can touch one's life with what you do.

Dube has touched my life with his style of music. He's one of my greatest inspirational and has really inspired me a lot in the process of creating my art. The messages he passes through his music- like think about the children, back to my root, remember me - cannot be overemphasized. Though he is dead and gone, his music and messages remain forever and will continue to help others in all their endeavors. His time, efforts and hard works were never in vain.

#RIP Lucky Dube

Not only is that an amazing crying, that is an amazing post with very inspirational words! Very good job! Also, off of that subject, I was wondering if you could tell me how you feel about dustsweeper? I'm going to do a contest post and if you enjoyed dust sweeper I was wondering if I could use your quote on how you feel about him and my post?

Thanks for the observation and thanks a lot dear friend. You ve always been a helping hand to me right from my inception.

On the other hand, I see dustsweeper as a helping hand and a supporter for those who are struggling to gain ground and those whose posts are always below the threshold especially the newbies. One can even get reward more than what one delegated.

It would be nice if you make a post about. Much more are to be learnt.

Thanks for the accolade. Am glad you noticed them. The detailling was really time consuming but I wasnt worried much cause the result was my goal.

Thanks a lot.

Magic how you drew him out of the paper.

Yea bro. Sometimes it amazes me too! But that is what I have been practicing for over a year now and I still feel av got much more to learn.

Such incredible artwork, the detailing work in the hair just looks impossible, it’s so good, it looks like a photograph @maxijgcomm. I love your art work friend, I’m so impressed ❣️

It looks impossible but it is possible. Am sure you can do it too. It's just that it requires a life time to complete.

Tuanks for stoppiñg by dear friend.

Lucky was loved by so many. As i grew up I loved his rhymes. He was ignored a lot due to political climate, but he was humble and pressed on with little help but from God to persevere. I love your drawing, a fitting tribute.

Yea you are absolutely right. Am glad you also know much about him and his struggles for survival in his music career.

Thanks for your contribution.
