Hello everyone!

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago 

Hello I’m Jeff, so happy to be here and excited to meet new people and learn new things!
I am going to be posting a lot about art and posting my attempts. I know that I’m not very good right now but I aim to improve and keep on learning.

I’m hoping that the Steemit community will accept me and provide some constructive feedback on my posts.

I am normally a shy person and so sharing anything on line and trying to make new friends is really difficult for me sometimes.

Finding out about Steemit and taking the plunge to get involved has already felt like a massively positive step towards becoming the person I would like to be!

Thank you so much everyone, I look forward to (hopefully) making some real friends here.
Jeff

Hi @jeff.wode

Welcome on Steemit! I'm sure you will have lots of fun here. You will discover a great artists community here.

One thing I like to do is to participate in art contests. Maybe you like it too 😉

Enjoy!

Thank you, I'm already enjoying being here and feeling welcomed. I'll check out some contests and maybe participate if I have anything good enough.

Don't worry too much about "if it's good enough". Even if you don't win the contest, the fact of participating has also other benefits :)
You discover other artists, other artists discover you, you make new friends, and especially, you go out of your comfort zone which makes you discover new things, try, learn and progress.
Most of the contests ask you to create something new specifically for the contest. I like this a lot because it's each time a source of inspiration for me and trying each time to do a bit better. (for example I'm still rather new in watercolor and I never ever drew a bull before, but now I did it! :) I see this as an exercise and a relaxing moment!)

And if you are amongst the winners, that is of course the top!

Have fun!

I saw that you unfollowed me, and I realized I was not following you anymore. Steemit has a serious problem right now with changes sticking. You'll follow someone and come back later to not be following them.

Sorry, I didn't mean to unfollow you. I have clicked follow again so hope all works well. Steemit has been very slow today, it's taken such a long time for these comments to upload and I have had to try a few times before my replys have been posted. Is Steemit usually quite slow?

It is having issues unfortunately, but within the last 15 minutes things have been improving.
