Thank you so much for the reply and support. I really appreciate you taking the time to give such an elborate answer and useful tips.
I'll stay the course, keep on searching for, supporting and posting good content. I'll also follow @airmatti and see if I can participate in some Steemit art competitions.
I'll check out your other article, and you can count on my continued support!
