#1 - @e254e (47)

Erick Gomez is a plastic artist who joined the Steem Network 7 days ago. He graduated as Superior Technician in Informatics and lives in Caracas, Venezuela. Erick Gomez will be sharing drawings, 3d models and sculptures.

The work I'm featuring from @e254e was published yesterday and it's a sculpture of of Phosphophyllite, a character in the anime/manga Houseki no Kuni.

• Sculpting: Phosphophyllite in clay

Please visit the post to see the several steps he went through while making this sculpture.

@e254e has shared 3 cute drawings and this sweet sculpture in the very short time he's been here.

#2 - @perazart (51)

William Peraza is an also a Venezuelan artist. He joined SteemIt a few months ago, on June 8, 2018 and has been posting 3 or 4 amazing portrait paintings per month...

Since I'm an adept of quality over quantity, I think he's doing a great job.

The post I've selected from @perazart is a beautiful painting and a good example of his work.

• Oil painting practice

@perazart includes a screenshot showing 6 progress steps and a very cool video with the time-lapse of his work, from start to finish!

# Final Thoughts

At the time I'm writing this, both posts have very tiny rewards, with $0.15 and $0.12.

@e254e has started quite well and I expect to see more works from him in the future.

@perazart's has not posting very often but every time he presents a great piece of art. Excellent effort.

Please give them some love and support. Any help is appreciated.

Pay It Forward Curation Contest - Week 38 hosted by @pifc.

If possible, I'll be buying 2 SBI (@steembasicincome) shares - one for each artist - with the rewards from this post.

Please support @e254e and @perazart with a few upvotes, follows, resteems, comments. Bitcoin and Steem moved up for the first time in a month... but as expected, it was a false start. Right now, every little vote makes a difference. 😉
