Greetings dear creative steemians. It is a pleasure for me to participate in this contest for the first time. Thank you @oscarcc89 for this contest. Without further ado, I present to you my idea for the mascot of Steemit.

A pencil drawing of a three headed eel

Title: A three headed eel
Artist: @rosita-nkefor
Canvas: A small notebook with white sheets
Pencils: 6B, HB no 2, HB

Inspiration

My inspiration for this drawing was the steemit logo. I didn't want the drawing to have the logo, I wanted it to be the logo.

The idea for the eel to be three headed came from Greek mythology inspired by Ceberus, the guard dog of Tartarus. He had three heads so I figured I could buy the idea. I hope you all like it.

Requirements

• A small notebook with white sheets
• A 6B pencil
• An HB no 2 pencil
• An HB pencil
• An eraser

My equipment

Process

• Firstly, I drew the outline using the HB no 2 pencil.

• Next, I shaded using the same pencil. I tried to use very little pressure and layered on for thickness.
• I also added eyes, mouths and little fins.

• I then carved out the part for the tail fin.

• Using my 6B pencil, I shaded the body of the eel. Then I used my HB no 2 pencil to add fin bones to the fins. I also made the eyes and mouth more pronounced.
  

And that is how I drew my mascot 🥰

Thanks for reading. I am inviting @benjamin09 and @nackasnelson to join this contest.
