There were 119 fantastic submissions. I was very busy at @kaliberlin and also I feel like pausing this contest now because I felt like looking at so many submissions was not handleable for me anymore at the moment. My motivation to start the contest was to give attention to drawing one body part each week and to see how other artists are inspired by the topics. I love all your fabulous submissions and at the same time I feel that I want to put more energy in working on my own arts and in @kaliberlin. I enjoy being in contact with other artists and sharing our arts here but I underestimated how much this contest would demotivate me. Every week there are more than a thousand views on the invitation post and there something about 200 upvotes. The most upvoters are participating in the contest but a lot of them do not follow the rules of the contest. I do not want to be winy about that but it really annoys me to see peoples comments that include stolen artwork or do not follow the other rules of the contest (like sharing the link of their post -it is really simple I think?). I think I can support other artists better if I do not specifically take all my time for contest submissions but by checking out the art tag in general. There are a lot of awesome artists here in this community and we got introduced to a lot of them during this contest. I follow them now and I am looking foreward to support them when I see more quality content. I wish to share more of my own art with you in the future and stay connected. We are building a network of mutual aid here and I wish to give my texts and art from my heart and get your support as well as I want to give you my votes for your contributens to this community. I hope you understand. # Lets now thank all the fantastic artists who contributed their artworks to this for now last week of the #discoveryourbody contest! @paomrp, @raizalorant, @ralr11, @rcupido21, @reyareyes, @rinixmax, @rmm31, @samueld2010, @sentolyrics, @setianyareza, @shadypassion, @sheikh27, @silene.quere, @sky777,@sonofgod87, @superjongky, @tefi, @tixinhacapitinha, @valentina31, @valeriaanzola, @vicky13, @vicvalentina, @yabellita, @yumifer, @zaidaysabel, @zimatovi, @zoniaespina, @zuleef, @abontikazaman, @aiskelzurita, @akarantain, @anaiscarolina03, @andreinacepeda, @angely, @anitabebi, @annycor, @apoyolatino, @artelis, @betzaelcorvo, @carlosebb, @carmenanemona, @christianyocte, @chuchu-cordova, @circlejose, @claucor20, @colormecalamity, @dairy83, @daniel-irala, @danielmaestre1, @dexter.weed, @diligarc, @drope96, @dzued, @eduardo246, @elcoco, @elguayanes, @eugheny.borodin, @faffy, @fanny35, @ffelix26, @francismg, @francismoure, @gabo9, @gabrielaa, @gabrielkoi23, @gary.nunez, @geneali, @genesis2102, @ginnettenz, @gottygnv, @graphxguy, @hellenfrezz, @hellokittyperri, @henrry1954, @huslein.slash, @ishanvirtue, @itachi24j, @jackraptor, @janeynarzoles1, @jaurrieta, @jesusbebo, @jesusw, @jlvr, @johanderg, @josecarrasquero, @josyweed, @juanzcorpion, @julioromero, @kaneket2066, @kennitgabriel, @kennyvaldez, @kimberlydiaz, @ksenja, @lauraac, @ldvurrieta, @leigarcia, @ligarayk, @liz22, @luimar, @luisdaniel, @luisemilio, @luisveco88, @machiqui63, @mandysp, @manouche, @mariaesperanzai, @maribelquere97, @marioberlese, @marycc, @maurosalazar, @milf27, @millerjtaipe, @mirye, @mryuss, @munadikiehl, @nestorg, @nunopher2013, @ofir87, @oscarinakr ### And here are the winners(as always a hard decision): ## The 10th ot 6th price of 0,5 SBDs go to:  @jackraptor for his drawing of thighs. The energetic way he worked out the muscular structure of the leg is fantastic. We can see strenght and faith in the figure in the drawing only by looking at the self-confident way the character stands. We do not need to see the face nor the feet to get an information about the emotional and mental state of the person that is drawn. The frame we see allows us to read the character. Thank you for this amazing submission.  @geneali for this still life of a roast chicken with stilettos that provokes thinking. I like the way the coloured elements of the drawing, the had, the vegetables, the lemon and the legs, build a frame for the dead animal skin. The legs grow from this dead flesh and decorade themselves with a garter and high heels. The chickens wings have become useless and there is no concious option of escape because the space beyond the plate is not visible. Thank you for sharing this drawing of yours that has also a fun aspect to it that made me smile at first sight.  @carmenanemona for this image of legs with stockings that are surrounded by a party of colours. The legs give birth to a grey shadow and are drawn with a lot of focus on the light. Our attention is drawn to this apparent 3rd dimension while we can observe how the skirt is floating with the background colours in wild patterns of colours. It looks a bit like a sudden moment of awareness of legs in a dream or another form of vision. Thank you very much for giving us such a colourful image of the interconectedness of the figure and the background.  @luisemilio for this amazing drawing of a famous scene of Hollywood. There are some fantastic details in the work that bring a new character to the scene, for example the red curtins that look like they are either theatre or cinema curtains. Their static look makes a nice contrast to the wind blowing on the movie scene. It seems like there was more life to the projected image than to the real curtain. This is the dream of the person trapped in consuming media that is created to create graving for more than the present. In the end the curtain itself is full of beauty and it has the potential of creating wonderful patterns. The only thing needed is wind. If we only consume the image of wind but do not go out to feel it because it feels uncomfortable we fall for a marketing illusion. Thank you for sharing this timeless drawing with us.  @huslein.slash for this drawing of muscular structures that are totally fascinating to me. The quick and energetic strokes that created this piece allow you to experience the wonder of the gadgets that we call our bodies. The muscles of the hands create an image of the muscles that give the leg its ability to move. The intense shading brings drama to the piece. Our muscles allow us to participate in life in many ways and they carry us through light and darkness. And both are necessary to make a move. Thank you for this drawing that celebrates the wonder of the living organism. ## The 5th price of 1 SBD goes to:  @akarantain for this beautiful drawing that shows a women in movement. We can not be sure if she is lying on a bed with a blanket that has a fantastic translucity or if she is dancing through space in communion with the stars and a dark moon. The way her thighs are presented is in a hamonic correspondence with her enviroment. We see that all her body and energy is at balance yet in constant movement and expression. She is blue which makes us think of water and that makes us get aware of that our body is mainly consisting out of water. Thank you for this magical piece of art. ## The 4th price of 1,5 SBDs goes to:  @graphxguy for this painting with its immensly beautiful glimmering colours and vivid structures. The combination of the colours in the background work fantastic with the legs in the centre of the drawing. They are presented in such a way that they form a gate for the viewer to look through. The gate leads us down to see some far away blue flowers, plastic bottles? on the ground. The colour of the slip of the figure in the painting appear several times and seem to have some meaning to them eventhough I can not guess it at the moment they are interesting and make you want to find out what is the idea behind them. Thank you for this piece of beauty and mystery. ## The 3rd price of 2 SBDs goes to:  @betzaelcorvo for this fantastic drawing of thighs with translucant straps. The drawing looks super realistic and plays with the material of the underwear that it portraits. The fishnet allows us to see how the light arrives at the tighs and the way the stockings are attached to the leck shows us that the flesh is moved by it. This amount of naturalistic detail is great. The slip was drawn with a lot of love for the detail es well. The patterns that are embroidered on the dessous are fantastic. Thank you so much for submitting this piece. ## The 2nd price of 2,5 SBDs goes to:  @ralr11 for this great drawing of the human anatomy that took away my breath. The colours choosen to make one side look like an organic wriggling of muscles and other struktures while the other side looks almost like a marple figure, cold and hard is fantastic. The immense detail of moving structures that are alife within each one of us is not always conscious to us but this drawing gives us an inspiration to look at the body and try to understand how this wonderful instrument that carries us around works. Thanks a lot for enriching our community with presenting your art. ## And the 1st price of 3 SBDs goes to:  @aiskelzurita for this lovely drawing of dancers. This piece of art is exuding such a great amount of happiness and friendlyness, of easiness and magic: It goes straight to the heart and makes me happy. The colours and the characters are dancing through a surreal scenery of shiny stars. The heat in the skin and the sunshine on the skin: what can I say? One of the most beautiful visions of joy! Thanks a lot for the pleasure of looking at your creation. *I will transfere the prices now.* ### Previous weeks: [Feet -148 submissions](https://steemit.com/discoveryourbody/@yoganarchista/uf1paxed) [Lower Leg - 141 submissions](https://steemit.com/discoveryourbody/@yoganarchista/4ahn9gdu) [Knee: 116 submissions](https://steemit.com/art/@yoganarchista/5esuu1v9) # Lots of Light and Love <3 <hr><a href='https://d.tube/#!/v/yoganarchista/dp3m24mw'> ▶️ DTube</a><br /><a href='https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmaUCcdZTzZ2erPm7fZLrko6pJ5Rs88qNWnrzgbiRHzp6a'> ▶️ IPFS</a>

Hello Steemians ... today I am going to present a drawing that I believe based on the contest of your known body @yoganarchista, although the challenge of this week ended yesterday, and I know that I am not in time to compete, ps I could not upload it due to problems with Internet, like I do not want to feel that I did it in vain, I hope you like it and comment if it is to your liking thanks for your attention:  I made the challenge of thighs based on shading using a HB2 lapis and thick tip marker to make the background and thus make the image stand out more  If you liked you can follow me @millerjtaipe to see more drawings techniques

Hello Steemians!! Been awhile but this will be my entry for @yoganarchista's art contest with the theme this week- Thighs. I just love the drawing here about having this tattoo of dream catcher. What does it actually mean? Nice dreams travel through the hole into the sleeper's mind, while the bad ones, as well as nightmares, are trapped inside the web permanently. Feathers are usually attached to the dreamcatcher to entertain babies, but they have a deeper meaning. A feather stands for breath and air, which are essential for life. And I guess, that' s why many people love dream catcher!! Superbb  Here's the process: Sketching:  TRACING AND DETAILING:   And now I am showing here a tattoo of dream catcher   Here's the final result Steemians!   For the week's theme: Thighs Thank you guys! I encourage you all to support and vote Terry @surpassinggoogle as your witness. Read his blogs and Im sure you'll be inspired. Thank you!

<div class="text-justify"> Good morning, dear community. Around here I want to share with you my entry to the visual arts contest promoted by @yoganarchista. I hope this one is to your liking. I extend my cordial greetings and wish all the contestants success.  * * * Next, I would like to provide you with the process I executed for the development of my drawing work. First, I selected the materials for the drawing: graphite pencil, coloured pencils and bonk paper.  **Step 1:** I made the sketch with the graphite pencil...  **Step 2:** I gave it color and shape to highlight the cyclist's thigh...  **Step 3:** I continue with the bottom and part of the seat...  **Step 4:** Giving shadows to the least salient...  **Step 5:** Final product....  * * *  * * * </div>
Good day my dear friends of this community;  In this opportunity I show you my participation in the contest discover your body, it was a quick drawing made directly to ink pencil time of realization (2min)
Hi friends! I am back! Again 😀 This is my third time to participate in this contest hosted by @yoganarchista entitled: "Discover your body" Art Contest which allow us not just to discover and distinguish every parts of our body each week but also enhancing our skills. I was inspired to participate more since I won 5th place last 2 week's contest which was about our lowerbody. Here's the link: https://steemit.com/discoveryourbody/@ligarayk/art-contest-discover-your-body-2-lower-legs-a-tribute-to-those-who-are-amputees ## Thank you for this maam @yoganarchista :) ## # And here's my entry for this week's contest #  The subject to be drawn this week is about The Thighs - the part of the human leg between the hip and the knee. My drawing is entitled, **"The abused"** - It is about those women who has been victims of sexual abuse. As you can see in my drawing, a girl revealing the backpart of her body with all her might and bravery including her thighs, showing vulnerability and fragility. This shows that despite of her doom-like experiences from the hands of her abusers, she remained strong and tough. >I used to see news reports about these kinds of matter which probably a very serious one that made me think of a way to offer a tribute for them, which is a drawing. I would like to show the world about their black past, to show that their experiences ain't easy at all, that the sufferings they had experienced were considered as their nightmares. I as well want to share awareness to all people that, # They're women, and most probably more than just a human # <center> .jpeg) </center> ## <center> *They need to be respected in all aspects,* </center> ## ### *They need to be taken cared of,* ### ### *They need to feel wanted* ### ### *They need to feel like they belong* ### ### *They need to be considered* ### ### *They need to be understood* ### And most especially, # They need to be loved # >Regardless of the variation of skin colors, they all need the things i said above Because once again, # "They are women, and most probably more than just a human" # >So let me show how my drawing was done ## 1. Light sketching ##  ## 2. Inking ## >I used a red-color pen since the color red symbolizes bravery and courage.  ## 3. Inking II # >I added some details and shadings tk emhpasize to tone  ## 4. Inking III ##  After drawing the left side i then continued drawing the other side. ## 5. Inking IV ##  ## 6. Finalizing ## >I added more details and some shadings for the background  A few finishing touches... ## And my artwork is done! ##  Hopefully, I was able to bridge awareness to the world so that there will no more, # "Abused" # Thank you for spending your time :') and Thank you once again @yoganarchista! Peace y'all! 😁🙌 <center>  </center> ## @ligarayk ##

I used to live in a small city in France called Tours. Tours is one of my homes. It was where I learnt to live alone, cook, pick a good wine on a budget, zumba, kayak and set up camp in the wild. One of the things I never got around to doing however was pole dancing. My friend Patricia loved to pole dance. So much so that she even started teaching with a studio in Tours. She constantly tried to persuade me to come and give it a shot. She felt empowered because of pole dancing, she said. It was indeed amazing how show could will her body to wrap and glide around the pole effortlessly. I probably spent way to much time at the guinguette to ever make time for pole dancing. I wanted to. But a part of me was scared. My brain told me that there was no way my body would be able to move and bend elegantly, effortlessly. I was also shy. I think you really need to embrace your body to be comfortable enough to pole dance. I wasn't at that place then. Am I at that place now? I don't know. I saw a post of Patricia's on Instagram last week where she managed to perfect a new pose (?) on the pole. It looked effortless. I noticed then how strong your body has to be, but specifically your thighs to support yourself on the pole. It seemed like the perfect way to depict thighs for @yoganarchista's third week of the [Discover Your Body Contest](https://steemit.com/art/@yoganarchista/win-sbds-discover-your-body-art-contest-4-thighs). I think I'll follow through with it regardless of the contest simply because it'll be such a nice collection of artwork to have at the end.  *watercolour and ink on paper.*

Hello Steemit! @yoganarchista This is my ticket to the Discover your body contest, this week corresponds to the Thighs. This is my result
