This author is an extremely talented artist. In this post she shares ten tips for artists that might be frustrated. Along with these tips she also shares a lot of her own art. I just got her a Curie upvote last week, otherwise this post would have one.
How I Made This Painting (Speedpaint) - Pt 1
This digital artist is working on a comic called Tugboat. In this post they share a Speed Painting video showing part of the process of coloring their characters. I always love being able to see the process of an artist, and when it comes in video or speed painting form it makes it even better.

Introducing steemitnewbieresteeminitiative.com We Now Have A Website To Call Our Own!
This post is announcing a great tool being used in an effort to help Newbie's to Steem have an easier go of it than many of us had. I am part of the Steemit Newbie Resteem Initiative. It is a group that helps new users with answers to questions they may have, resteeming their posts to help them get seen, and basically provide support to those having trouble finding their way in the community. This post is to introduce the new website which will serve as a central location for tons of information to help them find us, help them navigate within the Newbie Resteem Initiative, and find many useful resources.
Conclusion
Great artistic focus today in these selections from @randomwanderings. I love that they're not just showcasing their amazing work, but also providing tips or helps to aspiring newcomers. Visit each post and let the authors know what you think! For submitting these selections and commentary, @randomwanderings gets paid 5 SBD today.
That's more than $20 USD!!
Each of these highlighted articles receives full upvotes and resteems from @sneakyninja. As an added bonus, @sneakyninja sponsors featured writers for Steem Basic Income!
Submission Requirements
- You can choose from 2 to 5 articles for your entry. Submissions with only one selected article will be ignored.
- All articles chosen for curation need to have been published within the last 5 days before your entry. It may take time for me to publish your curation, and curated articles need to be within the reward window when your submission is published.
- You cannot submit your own post for curation. Selections from nsfw will not be accepted.
- Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak.
- We try to spread the love around, so while selections from authors that have been highlighted before are welcome, they might not be included if the author's last inclusion was recent. Similarly, if you include two articles from the same author in one submission, we will typically highlight only one of the two.
- Be sure to include your personal bio for me to introduce you to readers, and make sure that each selection has commentary. This can be just a few sentences about why you think the selection is worth our attention, or what is great about it - something that will make people want to click through the headline and check out the actual article. English is preferred, but other languages will be considered as long as English translation is included.
- Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1
- Including image links to the source article is not required (and we prefer to leave some mystery if photography is highlighted and the article has only one photo.) However, we like to include images in The Daily Sneak, and not including any image links may decrease the likelihood of your submissions being published.
If you include more than 2 articles in your submission and not all are approved for publication, your submission may still be published into an edition of The Daily Sneak, as long as at least 2 articles are approved. This could happen for several different reasons. If you are unsure why an article was cut, please review the submission guidelines again. If you are still unsure, feel free to ask politely why it was cut.
Submission Reward
A brief biography of each guest curator will be included in the edition that uses their submission. In addition, each guest curator will receive 1 SBD for each article from their submission that is highlighted in The Daily Sneak. That's up to 5 SBD for each accepted submission!
Right now @sneakyninja's upvote is not worth as much as we are paying for guest curation. Why do we pay so much for guest curation? We believe that quality curation is very important to Steem. Paying our curators well encourages them to spend more time reviewing content and picking out the best pieces!
