Hi My Dear Friends.
I'm Martina Sigulin. From Tullamore, Ireland.
First, let me tell you about my journey of getting to this platform. A few months back I was checking out some videos to find a site where I can sell my artwork. Most of those videos suggested that I sell them as NFT. But, as I know minting an NFT on a platform requires 500$ which is out of my affording range compared to my current situation. After searching for a while I found out about this site. I learned that I cannot directly sell my works here but I can earn rewards by sharing them here. For that people need to like my work and give a vote.
At first, I wasn’t sure that this site is genuine and that I'll be able to withdraw any type of fiat money from here. So, I visited the site and did a little bit of research. Not sure about the rewards, but I was amazed to see how people support each other here. And most of all how everyone appreciates the good work of a creator and compliments them. It's true that we all work for our living but for an artist, this appreciation is something more important than what money can buy.
I then decided to create an account here. But, after creating my account, I wasn’t sure of what type of drawings I'll do and what I'll do to start my journey here. Just a few days later, I got a job and got myself busy on that. At that time my financial situation wasn’t stable and that was the problem. It's not like I'm in a good financial situation now, but it's better than before. After all this time I almost forgot about the hive and recently remembered it because of a special occasion. It took me some days to figure out how will I start my journey here and what type of posts I'll share to continue my work here.
Then I searched through the site and saw that people are drawing their own characters and other people's drawings. And this is what I've decided to do. As this is my first post here, I'll introduce myself to you. And in the meanwhile, I'll also share a drawing of myself with you all.
I'm not an artist by profession actually. It was my hobby to do since I was a little girl. After graduating from high school I got myself admitted into a fashion designing college and currently studying there. I need to draw dress designs there but with it, I also practice my normal drawing skills whenever I get time to.
I like to read books whenever I get time. Books can give you the real feeling of knowing something interesting. I know that we all prefer movies and tv shows nowadays for entertainment purposes. But, I prefer novels. First of all continuously watching tv. computer or mobile phone is really harmful to human eyes. And I'm always concerned for my health. And when you're watching something, you're seeing it from the director's perspective. You're seeing what the director of that tv show or movie imagined about the scene. But, when we read a book, we create a unique image inside our minds. We enjoy the story with our own imagination. That can increase the rate of horror, adventure, romance or thrill of a story depending on what book you are reading. This is the reason I like to read books. I have a friend circle with the same thoughts as me. As I can't afford to buy any book that we want, we buy the books combinedly and share them with one another. Most of the time we collect books from the Tullamore library which is in the bridge lane. It's quite far from my house. So, most of the time my friend gets it for me and I take it from her.
It's not like I just read books always. Sometimes we go out and hang out with friends. For adventurous experience, I always choose the Knockbarron Eco Trail. But, I don't get much time to get outside and travel places because I always have to be busy with work. I'm currently trying my hardest to get rid of this situation. But, more than this, I want to get to know each other here. make a group of friends here too and have a nice & beautiful journey.As this is my first port, please let me know if I made any mistakes. I'll try to correct them. Thank you.
