Lionel Messi (WIP) And Is Twitter Censoring Crypto Tweets?

in art •  7 years ago  (edited)

First Layer Is Finished

This Picture Will Look Completely Different!

If you are interested in my issues with Twitter, skip to the bottom of this post

Once I apply the second layer, which will include shadows. The blue of Messi's outfit will become a dark blue/purple. I like to paint in layers, since the purple is more blue than red, my base color is cobalt blue. I will use my favorite red to make a deep purple, which is Quinacridone Red by M. Graham & Company.

Messi's face has no shadows yet once the shadows are laid done the structure of Messi's face will look just like him. Shadows really make the personality and structure pop out.

22 x 30 inches cold press 300lb cotton paper, watercolor, 2018

The third layer will include a little gouache to define the lettering on Messi's outfit. Usually my third layer consists of my shadows, details and cleaning up lines and highlights. Highlights with watercolor are brought out with shadowing, since one can't put a lighter color on top of darker colors as with oil or acrylic paintings.

Inaccessible Replies On Twitter

I started up an old account on twitter to promote my art and Steemit. I wasn't expecting replies at all since I haven't been on Twitter forever. So it was a pleasant surprise to find 3 or 4 replies on some of my favorite paintings. I used hashtags #steemit and #crypto. My account isn't very big compared to the bigger accounts here on Steemit. I felt that people like me that have made a fair amount of rewards are far more realistic when advertising making money on Steemit. So there is the reason I started posting on Twitter and found the Twitter Crypto Crypto Glitch.

First thing I did when I figured out I couldn't see my Twitter replies was search for other people who have had the same problem to make sure it wasn't an issue on my end.

What I found was a lot of crypto post as well as other political incorrect post are having the same problem. If anyone wants to take the time to investigate this issue or knows more about this please drop me a link or leave me some more data and I will continue to write about this issue.

Is This A Glitch or Censorship?

i am a barça fan since i am 4 years old, and I love Messis' game...but I think we are going to far as society giving importance of what those guys hiting a damn ball actually do... I think it is inmoral Messi's salary of 40M€ as well as the 220M€ Neymar transfer... Im losing my enthusiasm for football day by day...

I agree and it's weird how these high end players make so much money. It's also kind of freaky that players can be bought and sold like domestic livestock. Also teams are owned by people who have no ties to the country and can buy players from all over the world. It's no fun to watch national or regional games anymore, there is no hometown feeling in professional sports.

foootball sold its soul to petrodollars...at least in Europe... pretty sad indeed! :(

American Football has been taken over as well and has been turned into a propaganda arm of our government...sports and entertainment has become so boring. I cannot relate to fashion, entertainment or big corporate sports...

I get what you are saying....I like to go to local rugby matches and local entertainment venues now ;-)

No Comment ;) the best with the best <3

Thank you @beforeandafter

I noticed that his right hand is small
Or the painting is not yet complete

The painting is not complete, this is the first layer of color, there is no definition or muscular structure or shadows yet. This phase of a painting looks awful, takes some courage to post the middle stages of any work of art ;-)

Whatever the case it's great

this is very perfect painting.
what can already be displayed on the wall.

It's getting there @jasonmunapasee, layer by layer until I feel the painting is finished.

I did not imagine that Messi's painting would be so beautiful and so precise I noticed the delicate things I painted.
If the color of Messi's beard in the color of gold as in the original will be a replica plate

I think the painting is ugly right now, that's why I like to post work in progress posts. I can stand back and look at what I need to change and it gives my viewers a chance to look at the process of creating and maybe give feedback that will give me ideas...hehehe

One of mine friend also do such things, so i know its not easy to made it out, a lot of practice with passion and patient needed, but your work is adorable and appreciative, how excellently you draw it and explain it, it really amazing, i'm glad to have this, i just follow you a few days ago but today see your work properly, thats make me pleased, just keep sharing such amazing stuff with the community, blessed you, steem on

The process of painting is my favorite part of art and yes there is practice, it's boring and tedious but that is also part of the process. Thank you @abdullahshoaib <3

For hard one always my pleasure......thanks

What a talent red, i like how it looks i mean it has dynamic. Regards

I love this type of art, I may get hooked on painting sports figures, I need to paint some women sport figures now though....lololol But I prefer painting men, especially good looking ones....hahaha

Look her, she can be a good image to paint

What is her name and I will look her up @dim753

Carli lloyd dear red.

you are really good at what you do, when i was a kid i also liked drawing very much, but later i came to know that iam not good at these stuff, so i left it and continued my studies seriously. But forget about it, iam a barca fan and so leo is my favourite player of all time. keep up the good work.

@tennysonck, from what I've seen raising kids and working with children all my life, we are all born creative geniuses. For one reason or another we forget this gift. You can find your genius again if you want ;-)

OMG!!!!!!!!!! I love messi!!!!! He is one of my favorite football players!!!! You have done a great job!!!!!!
-cheers-

I love Messi too, he truly is one of the gifted athletes of our time. Thank you @nishaopt

my goodness..this is the frst post i am reading from your acount and i must say that you have got some real skills..
My take on the twitter issue would be that it might be a coincident or maybe twitter doest like steemit as facebook .They never support the projects which have potential to be their competetor

I read that FB is banning all advertising of cryptocurrency and I wonder if this is how Twitter is banning a competitor and also cryptocurrency related posts. Thank you @mariahbill!

Wow... You husband favourite...

He is gonna cherish this, i hope you complete it before wednesday champions league night...

Haha.... Lionel messi on duty

The middle part of the painting process is always messy, Messi is a mess...hahaha, thank you @fadiji09

#lol

I he should get messy tomorrow

how many days did you process this drawing ... ???

Let's see, 2 days ago, I had to go check. I have so many projects going right now...hahah

what is my project .. ??

Saya membuat buku mewarnai untuk Festival Skotlandia Tulsa kami. Saya juga memiliki beberapa lukisan besar yang hanya dalam tahap pembuatan sketsa awal mereka. Plus saya punya begitu banyak buku untuk dibaca untuk sejarah seri vaksin ....

What projects do you have planned @papma?

Saya tidak memilikirencana.
Wow pemikiran yang jernih.
Saya sangat mendukungmu @reddust

Saya sudah mencoba beberapa kali tapi semuanya gagal .
Dan saya sekarang lagi mengurus orang sakit

This is coming along nicely! That splash effect looks cool with the watercolor.

I think it is sweet that you are doing this for your man.

The Dutchman does the dinner dishes, he is gold...hahaha <3 I love him very much, the kindness man I have ever met <3

Aww... Happy Valentines Day to you both!

See, it's becoming better and better! I love how you did the blue and red spider web :d

I don't like the middle part of the painting, it takes a lot of courage to post something that is only half finished and to me looks like crap...the middle part always looks funky...hehehe thank you for stopping by @yaan

If you want to give away some Messi artwork that would go well with my #10 jerseys :)

Oh, hahaha, well if you want a print after I am done, I will post this on POD site and you can order a print with frame....Long ago a gallery owner I had some of my work in said, "never give away your original art". You are very kind @pittsburghhodlr, thank you.

If you decide to do that let me know, give away was a joke. I agree, if you're good at something, never do it free. :)

Wow looks very beautiful painting, you are going good to make this paiting more beautiful 😍 waiting to see this in ful real shape

Right now I am just at the base layers of color and building up the structure through layers of color, thank you @hazelalex

Wow, looks great! I really like the splashes of watercolor you have surrounding him as if his actions are very "explosive"; did you blow the watercolor around or did you drag it with the end of a paintbrush or something similar? Really liking the look of it!

I am adding more splashes as I progress with the figure to give some balance...I love working this type of technique, I feel like a kid. Thank you @artistchristian, I missed you....I keep checking your blog every now and then and I am glad to see you!

Yeah I was a bit under the weather and decided to also combine that with a bit of a "digital break", but I should be "back" and hope to get some more tutorial videos up soon.

I've felt like crap this last month and wanted to take a digital break but I have my todo list I need to finish so I said what the heck, I'll push on through...I pushed a little too hard but survived thank goodness and I am glad you are doing well now @artischristian.
