RE: "Go Beyond" Challenge #1 - with @evecab

in #challenge7 years ago (edited)

Thank you for a great idea! I have always thought of myself as one dimensional in aspect. I write decently enough, not great but about average (I have low self-esteem issues lol) and it was always the written word that I was most comfortable with.

My oldest sister is very good in photography and film making, my 2nd sister is good in singing and painting, my youngest brother has a knack for numbers that borders to genius levels and I write my poems and short stories. Thats how it has always been growing up.

Being in Steemit I have seen so many people who are multi talented and I am a bit jealous
I am a one trick pony that eventually would lose its novelty and no one would engage my work.

A lot of the people in my group always hear my complaint that I can't draw to save my life. Infact one person @jacinta.sevilla even created a competition aimed for non-artists because I think she is tired of my excuses. If interested to join go to this link
I bluffed my way in arts and crafts in school, drawing assignments usually done by my sister albeit with lower skill level so I won't get caught and anything artistic in nature I just clammed up and past it to someone else.

This year I strive to go beyond the limitation I set myself a long time ago. This year I set to learn how to draw using digital media. I would try traditional method as well but I think my success will lie in using the digital form. I want to create webtoons showing my life, my misadventures with work, my boundless energy of a beagle and everything else that I find funny.

I will not let the voice in my head say "I can't do it" I will do my best to overcome this limitation and go beyond and reinvent myself as a multifaceted individual both here in Steemit and outside.

Who knows someone might appreciate my webtoons and I go viral haha.

Go on for your dream. Its good if we stretch forth our abilities because I believe that there are still hidden talents that are about to be discovered by ourselves alone. I also love arts because it is fun.:)

Thank you for the encouraging words! Yes I have always wanted to do art.

Hey there, @maverickinvictus! I recognize some of my own insecurities with what you're describing, and I think we all have them to a certain level. I'm sure that you are much better at drawing than you think =). Just keep doing it and learning, because the worst you can do it not try at all and let that little voice in your head win.

True enough it is better to try and fail than not try it all and think of a whatif :)

A lot of people have been telling me to try and giving me encouragement.

yes, now you need to believe that you can and tell yourself every day =)

I enjoyed reading this man. And I agree with you. We need to believe in ourselves that we can do it for it to happen.

I believe in you bro.

Thanks always a pleasure to see your posts and I am always willing to help out just like what you did to me.
It was a huge boost to me both in Steemit and my self.

don't let the little you beats the big you..

Yes I will try haha :)

vote, absolutely you can do it, if they can you can too. Good luck on this competition hope you win.

Thanks Idol for always being there to inspire.

Vote!

I wanna learn digital drawing as well! I’m not a full blown artist but I don’t think I’m bad either. Hehe

Let's do it Caaat!

I knew it, I always had the feeling that we're 2 peas in the same pod... I can't draw as well even if my life depends on it... Although I am thankful for my writing skills, I am still green-eyed on folks who draw so damn good without even breaking a sweat.

Lol that is why we need to go beyond our limitations!

We can do this James haha

Already on it lodi, last quarter of 2017 I started my digital arts journey... Photoshop and solidworks for 3D modeling... Cheers!

This is one of the glorious things that Steemit has brought to our lives. It pushed us to go beyond our comfort zones and explore other fields. Glad you opened your doors to other things to explore @maverickinvictus! You are too awesome to settle hiding in your poems and stories:)

Thank you Val! You are awesome as well.

I always believed in your talent sir @maverickinvictus actually you are one of the person's that I look up to with regards to posting and commenting on this site. I really love how you empower us with your words and your blog post.

From the group chat etc. You are one of the best leaders that I did have and thank you for that. With regards to the media / arts for sure you can do it to. The cry to do it is there already you just need to unleash the artist within further.

O my you definitely have my "vote"!

Awww I appreciate what you said. I'm no leader I only try to help people and share what I learned so they can be better.

one big VOTE for you sir @maverickinvictus
