Hi guys π
Today I'm here with my entry to @sethlinson's art contest; you can check out the details here.
https://steemit.com/art/@sethlinson/20-sbd-in-prizes-portrait-contest
The idea behind this is to make an artwork depicting your face, that of a friend, family member, celebrity or even a totally random person. Drawings, paintings, digital paintings and sculptures are all perfectly acceptable and also, this is open to all artists.
Since there's no restriction on the medium and a bit of freedom on the choice of expression, I decided to try making an imaginary surreal drawing of a woman i pictured in mind.
"Surrealism" or "surrealart" is a 20th century art form where an artist or writer combines unrelated images or events in quite a strange or dreamlike way.
To explain it further in regards to art, it is understood as the art of rendering incoguous effects on images by means of unnatural or irrational combinations; simply put, it is the practice of creating something out of the ordinary.
I had mentioned in one of my posts that I'm not really a fan of imaginative drawing since i find it a bit difficult to identify myself with it, however coming across this contest made me want to think out of the box, probably to make something outside my normal routine and also get to experience the feeling of creating something new.
So far, i feel some sense of satisfaction making this particular piece as it is my second time trying my hands on imaginative drawing and i guess I'm in love with the outcome; thanks to @sethlinson i was able to come out of my skin once more.
If you're wondering what i used in making this, it's a white cardboard paper, a black ballpoint pen, coupled with my random strokes (cross hatching).
Thanks lots for reading; please upvote, resteem and follow to support.
much love;
@joyart

I was so pleased to see another beautiful portrait from you, you bring me joy @joyart. This portrait again is spectacular, I love your write up as well. Itβs nice to see you doing things that are challenging. I think for me, these contests that I enter, I am growing as an artist as well, trying new avenues of art, even have done some comics, which I have never tried before. I love it, have fun exploring on Steemit, itβs great. Bless youβ£οΈ
That's right dear; personally speaking, I've not had much to do with contest, but joining in recently has helped me discover new things about myself and that's pretty much awesome.
Thanks for the compliment, i really appreciate it.
Your artwork is amazingly beautiful. π
I'm already a fan of you and your art. π
I'm glad you appreciate this; thanks a great deal and welcome to my blog, much love @joyart π
π Congratulations @joyart! π, your amazing Artwork has been selected to be featured in my curation post.
You also won a @steembasicincome share!
Thank you @melooo182 for discovering my art, this means a whole lot to me and i really appreciate it....
About the @steembasicincome, i don't really know about that can you please help out?
Thanks again
It's an initiative to create a basic income in the platform, having a share grants you access to this basic income through upvotes done by one the SBI accounts, and the more shares you have the greater that income will be.
For buying shares you have to send 1 STEEM to @steembasicincome, and you also have to sponsor another steemit user, which is what I did, I bought a share and sponsored you π
I'm glad this is making your day, you've got skills, very nice cartoony portrait...and the landscape in the preview pic also looks wonderful.
