Prove yourself as the best artist for the week

‎

‎Hello my fellow steemians! I hope you all had a great weekend. My dear members and friends of steem fashion&style I am here to share my most recent realistic charcoal pencil drawing piece I did for this amazing contest. This job took me days because I actually want it to be one of my best for this competition. I hope to be one of the winners of the contest. I also want to use this opportunity to thank @dequeen for organizing this amazing contest. I love this contest because it's a way of bringing out the best in me. However I hope to do my best as one of the great artist in this platform. Thank you as you go through my artwork. This time I made a picture of an hour glass.

Here are the steps on how I did the artwork.

‎
‎As usual I came with my most recent portrait drawing. Creativity comes from logical thinking and reasoning. It's not even about being creative as a content writer. Artist are also creative individuals. They make something out of nothing. It is not difficult for an artist to think outside the box. Artist are critical thinkers with widen horizon of imagination which could be brought to life or reality.
‎Before starting the drawing I drew my grid lines and made my sketch then started shading it gradually. Sometimes I usually start some of my drawing from up to down and left to right. I do this to avoid smudging the part I may have already worked on. I really took my time to include everything in detail, making sure nothing was left out. From the beginning to the end.
