Among my goals for the next 12 months are: growing my self-esteem, levelling-up my art and design skills, and building a portfolio towards financial freedom.
Fingers crossed I can tick off that third one with this contribution to @nicoleminer 's self portrait competition. I'm really pleased the way this ballpoint pen sketch has turned out (tick for self-esteem) because I've been working hard on getting better at faces (tick for levelling up my art skills). Maybe I'll get lucky and win a prize, adding towards a tick for building the financial portfolio too.

You can do this! You just need to practice to make it perfect. Not just practice you need to make a perfect practice. Building self- esteem is the hardest part, but your skills can determine that :) you are your skills. You have skills, grind them. Get your weapons sharpened and go out there and kill some dragons.
Cheers!

I've been trying to think of some response to this but absolutely failed to come up with anything. You've left me speechless.
