Introducing myself to the amazing Steemit, finally created this post...

---

Hello Steemians

---

I should have created this post when I first joined Steemit. It has been almost a month now and I feel that it is time to introduce myself. I have to thank @kristyglas for encouraging me to create this introduction post. @kristyglas is an amazing artist and has many creative works.

This is a fanart that I created as my first post on Steemit. It is Saitama from "One-Punch man", one of my favorite anime characters. I changed the fanart slightly to be used in this post.
I will be using some drawings that I have created on Steemit in this post.

A little bit about myself

---

I found it challenging to create this post and that is probably why I procrastinated till now, as it was quite difficult to find something interesting about myself. I was pretty much that average person going throughout life, school and not really excelling in either sports or academics.

I did enjoy drawing a bit whilst I was small. I gained an interest in drawing because my brother was really good at drawing and taught me how to draw. I continued drawing during school, however, after school I stopped drawing due to time constraints and pretty much many many years has gone by since then.

---

And then at around a month ago, I was glad that I manage to find Steemit and joined, as it allowed me to remember the days when I was still drawing and now drawing has become a part of my life.

For some reasons, drawing actually puts my mind at peace and allows me to deal with stress.

I also recently started getting interested in cryptocurrency and have been reading and researching about it. Once I learn more about it I might create some posts on my experience with cryptocurrency.

I use @apprentice001 as my username because I generally see myself as a learner in cryptocurrency, in the Steemit Community, in art and in life and learning from each other.

How did I find Steemit

---

I am not a person that generally uses social media, and I only noticed Steemit when I started researching about cryptocurrency. I started getting interested into cryptocurrency, then started noticing Steem and eventually it led me to Steemit. It took me a while to notice Steemit but I'm glad that I made the decision to join.

This is a an art drawing entry I submitted for @kristyglas "Dragon Art" Contest

---

When I first started Steemit, I found it very difficult to create the first post. I didn't know what to create, I was not really used to writing articles, and at that time I didn't think that there was a topic that I could write a good article about. I started getting interested in cryptocurrency and "cloud mining" at that time but I don't know enough to create an article about it.

---

---

Hence I started with a drawing post. To my surprise, it got some positive comments and I was very thankful and from that point on I have now been drawing very frequently and creating posts on drawings and some tutorials.

I was glad that I came across and participated in the "Learn to Draw with Friends" Art Contest when I first started Steemit, and below are some of the drawings that I submitted so far:

What are my plans for the future

---

• Create more valuable and interesting content that will hopefully have a positive impact on others.
• I will mainly create art posts, and maybe some art tutorials for people who are interested to start drawing.
• I am interested in cryptocurrency and 'cloud-mining', so I may create posts about my learning experience as I educate myself more about the topic.
• For the posts that I have created and will create, I will mostly choose the 'Power Up 100%' as I am planning to be in Steemit for the long term.
• Upvote, comment and resteem posts that are valuable, interesting and useful. As I have been supported as a new artist, I will also try to support new hardworking artists which join Steemit by upvoting and commenting on their posts. I have relatively small Steem Power at the moment so my support will be limited, but hopefully as my Steem Power gradually increase I would have more ability to support. In addition, I will try encouraging them to join art contests as that is a great way to interact with the community.
• Welcoming new Steemit users and support them by upvoting and commenting on their posts.
• I had enjoyed entering art challenges and contests, hence will make time to attend more art contests.
