Prove yourself as the best artist for the week

Hello, my fellow Steemians! I hope you are having a great week. Happy new week to you, my dear members of Steem Fashion&Style.

‎I am here to share my most recent realistic charcoal pencil drawing piece that I did for this competition/contest. This job took me hours in a couple of days because I actually wanted it to be one of my best entries for this competition.

‎I also want to use this opportunity to thank @dequeen for organizing this amazing contest. However, I hope to do my best as one of the great artists on this platform.

‎Thank you for going through my artwork.

Here Are the Steps on How I Did the Artwork

‎Being a content writer is almost the same as being a content creator. Both are similar because you have to be creative to do either of them. Creativity comes from logical thinking and reasoning. It’s not just about being creative as a content creator or content writer. Artists are also creative individuals. They make something out of nothing. It is not difficult for an artist to think outside the box. Artists are critical thinkers with a wide horizon of imagination, which they can bring to life and make into reality.

Where I Got My Inspiration

‎As an artist with many years of experience, I have learned that inspiration can come at any moment. In this case, every time I pick up my drawing materials and plug my ears with some rap music, inspiration starts to flow.

‎This was a client’s job, so I couldn’t write my username and date at the top of the paper. However, I have reasonable proof to show that this artwork is mine: my selfie with the finished piece and my autograph written on a piece of artwork on the right side as proof of ownership.

‎If you follow me here, you will definitely know what I can do. Every time I draw, I feel the need to improve. I’m always hungry for more. That’s how I get inspired.
