Hey everyone in Draw A Day Community!
Pardon me if I make any notable mistakes, I might not really be conversant with how things are done here but I've gone through the rules of the community and carefully read them and understood them before making a move here.
Going through the community, I stumbled on the ongoing April challenge; DTIYS Challenge: The Old Boar by @shookt
I was reluctant at first to participate but after much consideration, I realized there was no harm in trying.
Over the years, I've been away from my pencils but slowly picking it back again and for my very first art on Hive Blockchain, I opted into the Draw A Day Community challenge.

So here is my style and version of the Old Boar and my entry to DTIYS challenge. I started with a rough sketch ( obviously I couldn't post that step, cause it was indeed rough, trying to come up with an idea and concept of my work).
Then I went further to draft out a lineart from my rough sketch which I later began my colouring and painting journey (this step is one of those tedious steps, because you have to be careful not to paint over other layers and make a mess of your entire work especially if you did everything on a single layer)
After painting it layers after layers, I finished my art with a suiting background color to give more vibrancy to my work.
I do hope you like my participation in the "draw a day challenge".

I am leaving this little note here for my fellow artists on Hive, I see you guys and I'm amazed by your works, and I also would love to connect with you guys, I know it takes a while to notice and encourage a new user, and I am not rushing or bothering anyone, I just love to receive some guide where I get lost.
I know some people are reluctant in sharing their tool of work or their hacks here, but I plead you guys to be of help to others if they ask nicely and also point them towards the right path, thank you!

@hiddenshadows welcome to the community thank you for choosing this small group of creative Hivers to post your first artwork on hive blockchain that already means a lot.

The goal of the community is to practice your skills, make art daily if you can and enjoy. It is alright to make mistakes just be sure not to repeat them 😝

Oh it's my privilege and I embraced it with so much enthusiasm and I'm glad to hear that I am welcomed

Sure! I will be careful not to make repeated mistakes 😁

I love the nice clean lines of your drawing that is my main struggle with my drawing that is why I chose pixel art every line is square and perfect hahaha. Welcome to the Draw A Day fam. Just enjoy and do not feel sad if no one really engages that is how most members here are hahahah they are all busy offline now you see them and will only post after a week or so

Oh, yeah, I love to achieve fine lines in my arts, my friends make fun of me with this, saying I have something in my hands to achieve such fine lines when drawing.
Thank you so much Angelanichole for your warm words
And no, I won't get demotivated when I lack engagement, I understand that people are busy with other stuff and they have a life outside Hive.
I will just keep doing my thing and continue putting my work and stuff out there, for those who are available and kind enough to drop by just like you did.
Thanks again!

Hello @hiddenshadows it is nice to have you here and welcome. Make yourself comfortable !

Your drawing has a very clear and easy to understand style. The clean lines and solid colors make everything distinct.

Thank you dinglehopper for complimenting my work
And thank you for the warm welcoming approach.
