Hello everyone out here,happy new month to you all. The week has been an amazing one with lots of fun and much to learn from. So today,I will be participating in this weekly contest tagged "The Last Contest".
We all know there is a first time for everything and as such we are often faced with so much fear trying to go over something the first time, this was my plight on Thursday 30/11/2023, we were having an argument of our favourite superhero in the shop so the argument got heated so much that the three of us decided to do a little drawing.
My heart was already pounding as I was busy being so boastful of what I could do, honestly, I never did art in my secondary school days, I studied Estate Management in tertiary institution, so how am I going to start with this. I couldn't just hold my pencil very well, my friends were already on it and the worst of it all was there was a stake of 3,000 naira which is equivalent to 7.2 Hive, that was a whole lot to loose especially at the end of the month.
I swung into action after about 5 minutes of me contemplating if I was really going to do it. I wanted to draw superman initially but I changed my mind and decided to draw something close to it. I made the first sketch and decided to take a picture with it,I was already sweating my people, please don't laugh at me, I have never tried drawing before.

It took me up to two hours plus before I was able to come up with something like that, look at my sweaty face. I started again to add the cape and some finishing touches. I was tired already and wishes I never participated on this kind of contest. I added the cape and made the outline so bold then tagged it Alexander. Please don't laugh at Alexander, I was just trying to save my money from going into another's pocket.
Final result
I was marvelled at the outcome, even me never knew how I got to draw something close to this beautiful and believe me, I was super proud of myself.

• Have something at stake you don't want to loose, this will be a booster of your morale towards accomplishing ones goal.
