How to Draw
Many of you are wondering what it is like being a lecturer for Creative Multimedia. The logic should be as simple as whether you can draw or you cannot draw. During my younger days, the parents would usually tell their children, the talent to draw is a God given gift. So, that explains why Little Richard drew a goat that looks like a worm and the lovely girl seated beside him with a beautiful name like Isabella draw an angry pixie like a princess that just transcended from the heavens.
Different Artists
That is only partially true. There are many people with very little talent like myself that depended on hard work and more astute observation skills. This is something that we learn and improve all along. Some of these skills are natural and most of the time, it is guided. So, my role as a lecturer is to hone these skills.
For those that have participated in #steem-cartoon are the students which I think has all it takes to present their skill set for the world to judge. My observation may not always be accurate but there are some experience that I applied in choosing these individuals.
If you want to take a peep, like how you would do in the seedy downtown joint, you can always give me an upvote, pass the bouncer and adhere to the rule as you browse along.
This is my regular class for the 1st year student in Animation and Visual FX in the Facuty of Creative Multimedia, Multimedia University. They are groomed in their skill to present their drawing, character designing for animation, storyboard design and the basic principles of animation.
It is helpful for them to understand how human parts move to give fluidity to the drawing. Otherwise the result would be very distorted and gruesome creation fitted for horror.
There is a world of difference between a teacher that teach by preaching and reciting academic texts and one that goes on the canvas and teach by actually doing it live. In case you are wondering, I am referring to myself as the exemplary role model. Jokes aside, that is really an indispensable part of teaching.
After the heavy work of lecturing and showing off skills, then there is one of the compulsory part of the course, the part where the lecturer must pose for a photo session to show his bosses that he is doing his job. This is particularly helpful in the yearly appraisal.
If you work as hard as I do, you will understand why an artist's mark on their work is important. I repeat, not everyone is born talented, most of the amazing pieces that you see is a result of hard work and years of experience. It is not given, it is learnt.
Happy holidays guys. To my students in steem-cartoon, you guys are doing excellent and I am so proud of you guys! Show the world what I have taught you...please don't show NOTHING. That reflects on me.
Great work! You're truly an exemplary role model :) It's refreshing to see.
By the way, @sireh with Steem Dollars currently at ~$10 worth of bitcoin per Steem Dollar, it's better to use 50/50% on your post instead of 100% steem power. https://steemit.com/sbd/@biophil/go-home-sbd-you-re-drunk-how-to-maximize-your-author-rewards

Indeed...☺
To get a very good drawing, it's mostly hardwork , practice and experience there is no such thing is called "talent" thats is just an excuse. Keep it up sir :D
Haha... Imran @qimchi ... after going through all the process, then we learnt, the tougher the lesson... the stronger we'll become... good luck with our project.
Great post. Keep it up and you'll do well here. I noticed you were using 100% SP reward option. When Steem Dollar is valued at 5 dollars you should choose the 50% in SBD and 50% in SP option however. This way you could sell the SBD and buy couple X more SP.
Thank You @igster... will keep that in mind...still learning...haha :) ... happy to support talented people to pursue their dream... cheers!
Great saying. I like the content and your work.and the hard work actually works and with that, you have to be passionate about what you doing. otherwise, there is no use of working hard.
Yup... once we have fun and passion doing what we love... it shows... thanks for your nice words. Cheers!
