-------> How I FINALLY Got on Steemit <-------

Hi, again! After [my introduction post](https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@mihaiart/hi-i-am-mihai-artist-painter-illustrator-and-i-m-bringing-my-talents-to-steemit) did so well, beyond my wildest dreams to be honest [ *THANK YOU FOR THAT*, WOW again..] I started to think about why did it take me so long to join steemit. You see, I knew about this site for over 3 weeks. My cousin, @razvanelulmarin, called me and told me about it when he had discovered it. I remember he said: >This is a great place for artists. You can do really good here and I think it will motivate you draw even more! Get in! Yeah, it did sound like a nice and promising idea but I was skeptical and eventually shelved it and forgot about. Fast forward to one week ago, he calls me again! >Dude, why aren't you yet on steemit? Come on, man. You're missing out and I'd hate for you to regret it later. Make a good introduction post and get in! This time, I gave in, went to work and....for me, the rest is history. I guess I am now a steemit convert :) This is the backstory of why I chose @razvanelulmain for my first potrait, because of his pushing, pestering and nagging I am here now. I thank him for that with this one! Another more practical reason is that he a stone throw away from me so I can meet and take his photos so I have all I need to work from. As I said, the process is laborious and the more photos I have the better. This being said, here's the portrait. https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/08/07/13668822_1142345839155724_7970939325041310368_oe417d.jpg I hope you like it , I spent some long hours in this one, but I think I captured a good expression, a more introspective moment if you will. I'm quite happy with the result. But please, let me know what you think! I plan to continue to draw steemians, so I do hope people will respond to that :) If you are interested leave a comment and we'll talk. I don't know yet exactly how it will work, but you'll sure need to send me lots of selfies! I want to end this post by saying that everyone can learn from me: #### Nag and annoy your friends to join steemit, beg if needs be! #### But do it, don't feel bad or stupid, if you truly think they have something to offer, don't waver. I can tell you from my experience: ## ***They'll be grateful you did!*** ------- #### PS: In my introduction post I drew Dan, in my next one...I'll give you NED! [ get hypeeee]
