Drawing Contest for the NON ARTIST #1: My First Art Work for 2018
~ Seth Godin
When I was in elementary, poster making contest was a fad. I have always wanted to join. The only problem is that I am not blessed with a talent in art.
When I first read the mechanics of this contest, I got really excited. Finally, there's an ART COMPETITION I am qualified to join! This is one of the many things I love about Steemit, it always provides an opprtunity to discover new things, explore your potential, and pushes you to do things beyond your capacity.
Yesterday, I submitted my entry for a poetry contest. Writing poems is my weakness. I remember back in college, during our Literature class, I cried because I can't complete the ten-quatrain poem my professor required us to do. But hey, just yesterday I was able to finish my entry. And even if I don't win, the fulfilment I got from doing it already makes me feel like a winner. 😎
See, creativity takes courage. And what matters most is not the outcome, but the process. Because it is during the process where you discover, learn, improve, and grow.
And so... CHALLENGE ACCEPTED for the drawing contest for the non-artist! 😊😊😊

♥️ So what is the message behind the girl on the window? ♥️
On the days, and yes there will be days, when your life comes tumbling down, patience becomes so thin, and you might think the end is near, it is important to contemplate and assess things. When times are lonely, and nights are cold, look outside your window, gaze into the distance, pray that when tomorrow comes, things will get better. Brave the cold, bend if you must, but do not break for you are so much more than breaking. And in the morning there will be sunshine and warmth waiting.
Today, I encourage you all to take a moment and reflect on your life. In the words of Marie Kondo: "Keep only those that spark joy - things, relationships, habits. Identify what's essential and eliminate the rest."
I hope you enjoyed my entry. Thanks for dropping by! 😅

Thank you very much for your time!
Whoo! This is exactly what art is about! Expressing emotion and stories with what we create! Everybody is an artist at heart and I'm glad you started exploring your potential. Best of luck in the contest @chinitacharmer!
PS. Sobra ka relate sa poster making contest in elementary. Sige ko sali sa una, pildi permi. wahahaha.
Thank you so much Noelle! 😊 I never thought I could make such drawing knowing how limited my artistry is. But the warm-up exercises helped me a lot in conceptualizing my drawing. I never knew I could do well with lines and shading which is all I could do for now. Lol. I have always been interested in art, and even if I am not very skillful in this area, I would still be willing to learn and create. As what you said, it is not only about the art itself, but the emotions and stories behind the art. 😊
Ok ra maskin pildi, basta nag enjoy lang! 😊
This is nice I hope you win the contest . I love the message of the drawing. Keep it up maine.
Hopefully! But there are too many talented non-artists who joined. Win or lose the most important thing is that I enjoyed doing this, and I learned a lot. Thanks Fukums :*

Thank you so much Jacinta! 😍 Your contests are always interesting but the previous ones were too difficult for my level. I can only draw lines and shapes, and enhance them with shading. Lol. Glad you initiated this contest for non-artists like me. More of these please. 😊 Again thanks and more power!
Just keep on practicing for sure the skills will be polished and that is the beauty that I really enjoyed here.
Ako I learned how to draw/ paint on Youtube university never had the courage to try joining poster making contest sa schools way back.
Thank you so much @tpkidkai. It's ok, you can join art contests now! :) Thanks for the tip! I will check out tutorials from YouTube and benchmark on our fellow steemians who are great at this. Visual art is really FUN! :)
Yep it is really really fun. Unleashing the creativity that is residing in us. I might join in the future :)
