Greetings beautiful steemit community, I'm Paola, I'm 33 years old and mom of two beautiful girls which are my life and reason for being. I am a Graphic Designer, a profession that I chose since I was a teenager. Since I was a little girl I really liked drawing, painting, creating things and for the age I did it very well (according to my teachers)
As I got older my inclination went more towards the plastic arts, painting and drawing, but in my family it was not well seen, reason that forced me to leave the secondary school to decide to study Computer Science, but I did not like anything, I felt empty, so I abandoned it. I started to research universities and so I found out about the Graphic Design career and when I came of age I looked for my first job with which I could pay for my university and study what I wanted.
Today I'm a Graphic Designer, I work in an advertising agency and I feel very comfortable with what I do, I keep drawing in my free time since I love doing it, so sometimes I consider myself an "artist", I even started to give classes even if you have only one student but something starts.
A couple of weeks ago, I was extremely bored, there were electrical problems in the city, so on that particular day the lights went out, I did not have internet or anything to entertain me so I decided to draw. My girls had recently seen the Captain America movie and they say "Mommy, we love the captain is too cute", and I said well let's see what comes out of this and I started drawing.
I searched the cell phone for an image that I liked about the "Capitan" and I started to make the lines first, in fact I did not make a sketch, but I started directing the drawing. It had already been half an hour and nothing that turned the light, so I decided not to leave it in lines only, that way I began to make the shadows and depths.
I continued making shadows, and concentrating on his face to make it look as real as possible, after two hours the light returned but I could not leave it incomplete, so I fine-tuned the last details of the suit and shield, until it was as similar as possible, and in this way I was satisfied with the result. From now on I am taking more advantage of the free moments to dedicate to drawing, it is something that I love and passionate and I hope to continue growing and learning from this.
Thank you for devoting a little of your time and go read me, I will continue uploading and making known more of my drawings and stories. Kisses
That is some amazing artwork. Welcome to the family.

Hi, Paola, and Welcome to Steemit.
There's probably much of the world that needs "redesigning." But are you prepared for such a major undertaking? ☺
Your intro is quite thorough and interesting. That's the kind of post that is encouraged and appreciated on Steemit.
Below are a few basic points of advice re posting on Steemit.
1 – Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
2 – Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
3 – Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
4 – Be yourself.
5 – Be interesting and informative.
6 – Create quality content. Steemit is intended to be a platform of quality content. (You will see many insignificant posts with meager content and no quality. Most of those of posts [called “shitposts” by Steemit whale Stellabelle] will earn few rewards and soon pass into oblivion.)
7 – Get online and start curating. Read various posts, comment on those posts you find interesting, and upvote those posts. That’s the best way to attract followers.
Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!

Hello!! thank you very much!! I really appreciate and value your advice, I will take into account each one so that my publications succeed. In terms of redesigning the world, of course, yes, at least I start with my own world, my environment, I consider that things, even if they seem small, are a beginning, and nothing is hard for us to dream, right? in life everything is possible if you have the disposition and desire to do it, the only person that can limit you is yourself. I hope you follow me and that you like my publications and give me your sincere observations. Regards!!!

Hello again. Thanks for your reply. I've now followed you, as I see again that you can produce quality posts (and quality Replies. :-) )
You’re welcome. One more point. Submitting photos in the various photo contests is a great way to earn a bit of Steem and to attract followers. Here are links to 3 contests.
@photocontests, organized by @juliank
Daily color challenges, organized by @colorchallenge (Temporarily inactive)
#tepchallenge, organized by @theexplorer
For entries into those photo contests, short posts are OK. But it's a good idea to add a bit of text explaining the photo, to give the post some meat and to make it more interesting.
And, as we can probably agree, making something more interesting is one small way of improving the world.
Onwards!!

Hello @paokarinat, and welcome to Steemit! I am an artist too, and I'm surprised that we have the same background.
I took Computer Science too, because my Mother wanted me to take an engineering or science course just like her and her family.
But still, I ended up working in animation. And you can learn more about me by reading my introduction post.
Good luck on your journey here, and God Bless. :)
