Hi everyone o/
Hope you are all having a good week!
If you've been following me for a while, you'd know that I occasionally try to highlight and promote other Steemian whose works strike a chord with me, and today, I wanna give a huge shout out to @blastik :D
I have very undeveloped eye for photography but I've been following his blog for a while now and his photos ALWAYS make me happy :> He updates regularly, usually only with one photo per post, and each one has a lovely aspect or composition or lighting or the subject is just super adorable * ___ *
Anyway, as usual, to do my appreciation post, I have made a sketchy from @blastik's beautiful photos :>
**Warning**:
I have no idea what I am doing since I never draw off photos so ...... YES i know the people don't really look like the ones in the reference because i dont have proper art foundation hooray :D .... me is learning okay :3 :3 :3
## Blastik Appreciation Art Section hohoho
So here is the picture that I made from @blastik's photos! I decided to try the pink paper for this task because I thought it'd give the picture a bit of life instead of working off my usual neutral white base :> As for my tool, I opted for my 2B tiny pencil, because it has never failed me so far :D
The first photo I wanted to appreciate is the latest one, of [black-winged stilt](https://steemit.com/birding/@blastik/look-around) - if you go through @blastik's posts, make sure you open the photos' full size cuz they are amazing * ___ *
Here is the birdy sketchy result:

Then I moved on to ... people, because I wanted to try to draw realism. *I failed completely, of course*. You see, I suffer from a syndrome that has plagued *some* comic / anime artists..... my mind eye translates certain things into idealized or anime proportions and what comes out is.... isn't what is on the reference. This is why I never work off photos, lol. I just can't do it > ___ <;;;;
Anyway, this is the reference, of [a mother and child](https://steemit.com/photography/@blastik/nepal-memories-3-sleeping-beauty-and-her-bunny), a lovely photo, with gorgeous glow * ___ *
And here is my sketchy:

Finally, having been punched in my art-guts by making the mother an anime person, I ran back to try and recover some of my art self-esteem by finding another bird to appreciate. So, this [Sunday Stork](https://steemit.com/nature/@blastik/sunday-stork) was my saviour~
And here is the final result of the three sketch pieces as one piccar:

So, there you go! My shout out to @blastik for giving me gorgeous pick-me-up photos and I encourage you all to check out his blog, because it is lovely and full with wonderful photos :>
One last thing before I close this off !!
### ATTENTION CAT LOVERS:
@blastik loves [cats](https://steemit.com/caturday/@blastik/catruday-a-cat-and-a-flower) and has a periodical [cat](https://steemit.com/caturday/@blastik/saturday-caturday) updates XD ( [* ___ *](https://steemit.com/animals/@blastik/a-moment-of-peace) !!!!!!!!!! )
Here is one that he recently uploaded, so cute and lookit that paw up in the air so acrobatic XD <3333

...
In hindsight, I should have picked the cat to draw? I kinda sorta know how to draw cats XD;;;;
Ah well, next time, I suppose :D
