So long as we're all aware we're in a bubble racket it's fair game I guess. Hope I can make more people aware of it though.

The time of Africa will come with emerging technology and a willingness on the part of the people of that continent to raise themselves out of poverty. 40 years and Africa will be booming.

Maybe with better working conditions, a higher standard imposed on the quality of the work done (thus higher wages), people would be more ready to accept going into a trade and to learn the skills.

Thanks for the nice comment! You can always give it a go, just for fun. ^^

There's potential in SteemIt. As a user, why would you bring traffic and content for nothing in return to websites such as YT when steem platforms allow curators and the content creator to reward quality

Now that's not bad for just starting out. You'll want to check out my blog if you want to see some more portraits.

@originalworks

That's such a nice comment! you're wonderful. It's become a hobby now, but I'm proud of some of the portraits and want to have them here on steemit as well.

@originalworks

Pretty. Check mine as well.

Here is my entry:

Well that sounds great. Followed. Hope your content is worth sticking around as well :D

Haha rather they're scarred ways of seeing things from all the realistic drawing I've been doing. Check my blog.

If I put online some of the photos I take instead of my drawings, I would definitely embarrass myself. Nice work!

Well done! A lot more bland than this, but there's a drawing of John Lennon on my blog; do have a look!
