SEC-S7W3 – Drawing My Photo || @oasiskp

Today I'm glad after receiving an invitation from @m-fdo to participate in the Steemit Engagement Challenge S7/W3 in the Steem Venezuela community. Thanks to the community for allowing the invitation to be extended to people even outside the community. I am not an artist neither am I a photographer, but through the steemit platform I have been rediscovering the other side of me. My drawing of my photo may not be the exact prototype, so bear with me as I am improving in my skill gradually, thanks for understanding.

Drawing My Photo : Myself

Most of the time, I try to draw flowers, animal and other things, but now since the contest gave room to draw one's self, I gladly opt in for that.

Why did you choose to photograph this?

This photo is a reminder to me on how ugly I do look whenever am angry. On the day this picture was taken, I had a bad day so to speak because of what someone said about me to someone else which was totally a lie and the person came and told me about it, so I was upset. While I was still taking with the person, my colleague in the office who was sitting almost opposite me snap me with my phone which was in her hand. Then later showed it to me and told me, my boss, look at you when you are angry. I began to laugh at myself.
So in this contest, I have choose to photograph this and draw it so that it could serve as a reminder to me whenever am about to get angry.

How long did it take you to draw the image of your photograph?

Because I am not skilled at drawing, it took me a whooping 2hour 15minutes to be able to come out of the theater of this drawing. You need to see how I was sweating while drawing it, even though it does nit look exactly.

What part was difficult for you to draw?

The face was actually were the problem lies, so was difficult for me getting the exact shape of my face. I know if I am to work on it again I might be close to perfect. At any rate, my skill is improving.

Now My Drawing Steps

Materials Needed

The following are the materials:

• A4 plain sheet
• Pencil
• Eraser

Step 1

I start with drawing the oblong shape first with the pencil

I then extend it to the eyes and nose.

Step 2

Thereafter, I draw the mouth and the ears on both sides.

"" Step 3**

I then draw the cloth I wore and add some shading to make it look good.

Then I took my selfie with the finished drawing.

I then edit it to have this.

Conclusion

I will thank the community for giving me the platform to express myself in this manner. I will love to invite @bela90, @manuelhooks, @danielatin, @jannatmou and @gchristwill to also take part in this contest.
