I don't think I would call it a good favor from the curator. According to the rules, effort is also acknowledge as curation criteria. If you would see my very first digital art, you would laugh as it looks like a drawing by a 5 year old.

I think I did put a lot of effort each art trying new stuff to better my work. :)

I suggest watching youtube tutorials and getting inspirations from other artists. It made my drawings and coloring improved a lot.
