WELCOME TO STEEMIT - by my @slothicorn - after Christmas edition

The welcoming cryptoartwork that I am sharing today, is my first entry to @inquiringtimes ‘s contest.
She is doing a wonderful job, gathering free art resources and useful links to help all steemians make instructional post for new users

this means you are allowed to : copy, edit, re-interpret, re-mix, print -- this artwork even for commercial use :)

So I will share my art, some advice and some things to avoid for the newbies

--Take pride in your work, make sure you are posting quality content - don’t post something just for posting

--Find people interested in the same things you are and connect with them

--Read posts and comment in the ones that you genuinely like (upvote and resteem)

--You may feel intimidated by great authors and out of shyness you may comment like this : “great work”; “nice article “; “amazing post “, but how would you feel if someone commented on your post like that - So make a valuable point in your comment and share your unique view ( I did this mistake a lot, and even now I am secretly following artists that are too great for me to comment, I am speechless in front of their work )

--Get involved in community challenges and contests , it is a easier way to break ice and interact with people here

--Make some friends - this one seems the hardest but it is not, you are not alone, there's always people that have same interests and passions as you do, find some common ground , be authentic and speak your mind and people here will engage

If you have any questions just ask. I would be happy to help and most steemians would too :)
