One of my favorite subjects when I first started drawing was aged portraits. This was probably because of the wrinkles on their faces and the patience I needed to drive these out (layer by layer) without ruining the drawing.
___
After so long a while, I saw this reference which I'd surprisingly gotten years back and felt like springing into action once again. It really was exciting making this drawing and I enjoyed every part of it. At some point, I was hearing Enya's **'Caribbean's Blue'**. So you can check it out later on...

When I shared the drawing I made of Maisie Williams yesterday, I stated that I made another the first day I drew her and that it was a boy. Well, I was able to with ease this evening spot the drawing of the boy in my gallery and here you have it.

**Thanks for making me a part of your weekend.**

Nine days from now will be my 56th birthday and my second on Hive. It's good to power up both HIVE and LEO on my birth month.
What is unique this month is that all of my top four Hive Engine tokens in terms of staking rewards, I use all of them to buy LEO. They include SME, CENT, CTP, and LOLZ. They gave me close to 100 LEO this month. As a result, I was able to accumulate 465 LEO.
Today is my 10th time participating in #LPUD and the fourth consecutive month this year that I have been powering up 300 LEO. I think if I can maintain this discipline, I can achieve that 5,000-staked LEO eight months from now.
As I write this post, two hours already passed in #LPUD. It appears that I've been early in my entry. It's better to do it now as I start the day before I proceed to other Hive activities.
An hour ago, I staked 300 LEO.
I now have 2,606 staked LEO and 165 liquid LEO. All in all, I now have 2,771 LEO. Here is now the new update on my LEO status:

Again, it's my prayer and I hope that I can sustain this growth in the following months.
Happy #LPUD to everyone and more power to the LeoFinance community!
Grace and peace!

Talking of variating sketches, I came across a photo of a little boy whose face though neutral was quite inviting. I thought of different perceptions but because of the bluntness of my pencil and the technique I was using, I arrived at this.
Initially, I wanted to make the hat very detailed but then on second thought, I did this..

It is always fun trying out sketches like these, hope you love it....

While this is an old review, I see many correlations with the current iteration. " I can’t help but feel though that I was given special treatment to help the review go more smoothly and I doubt most people would receive the same care." When all they crave are 'Influencers', they matter more than you. I've seen them say that they walk some through the process, but they need to deem them important.

Here's a very competent 'Influencer' letting you know about their experiences with past platforms that #SoMee has tried. One big giveaway is that they simply ask you to trust them when they submit a DAO request. Think about that!

You were asked to allow them to mint 1.25 billion SME for "Investors" that they refused to name. How can anyone make a good decision based on zero information? You can't, but fools decided to just trust them anyway. Where are those investors now? Why haven't we gotten a simple update? Why is Christopher Kramer using the SoMee Official account to downvote factual information that is simply uncomfortable for him?

I'm seeing a lot of #RedFlags here and just want you to be cautious, critical and pay attention to the details. If you're just a Copy Paster #Shitposter it won't matter to you, but if you are a #creator, it does.

it's interesting that this post will not even show a generic url description.
