I discovered then that the forum was super active, the _General Chat_ was moving a lot as well (nothing closer to the calm, silent and lonely even, room that I remembered, with perhaps one or two users that would interact); noticing this change filled with a lot of motivation. That day, after the activity, that ended past-midnight, I thought how pretty a character holding their logo would be (that from far, I have always looked at is a _Smiling Gear_). So, why not to try making them a gift with said idea?.

_"If it turns out pretty, maybe I can gift it to them....", I thought._

🎨 PRELIMINARY SKETCH 🎨

_(When it’s already 2am but you know that you won’t fall asleep until 4am, cause you are half Lunari)_ • • • When I’m going to draw, I always start by sketching a draft of the whole composition, with all the main elements I want it to have; it’s never clear to me how the final result is going to turn at the end, not all my sketches end in something pretty or harmonious, and so they are disposed of, but some as this one, get the right shapes and are “tuned up” slowly. • • • ![IMG_20180501_023625.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSMHzDUjyhEht2EgYeS5ejuBUCYoTJZx6B66r8f6DMktQ/IMG_20180501_023625.jpg)

🎨 CLEAN AND DEFINED SKETCH 🎨

🎨 CLEANING THE DRAWING, AND DETAILS 🎨

_(Preparing it for Watercolors)_ • • • This is the moment of the truth: Now we need to erase all the guide lines used, and leave only the line art we have done with inks. Lines that should be redefined many times, they came hide many errors or lack of esthetic on what comes to proportions, and those things are only visible when we clean the paper from all the pencil and graphite lines we have used... • • • ![P1020105.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbZJkcc4DhxrjUgAQex5zddk5XkD7vwV2ZR9xtzDwvGt4/P1020105.JPG) • ***"Engránate Girl, totally defined"*** - Drawing/Photo by **@tesmoforia**, with a Lumix/Panasonic DMC-FH2. ![gears (1).png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVg48wWW8gBN2a7Wf2iex8S8KMhVKkwcon3RDuk38G2pm/gears%20(1).png) ![P1020104.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcMLbKdAr76KhQe9ZXPiZgF6HxE7cZBz3572zYkj426MN/P1020104.JPG) • ***"CTRL+Z doesn’t exist here"*** - Drawing/Photo by **@tesmoforia**, with a Lumix/Panasonic DMC-FH2. ![gears (1).png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVg48wWW8gBN2a7Wf2iex8S8KMhVKkwcon3RDuk38G2pm/gears%20(1).png) ![P1020106.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmX4fzW9VxT3meWQQ28ui78gY7G25HxSLjCkt8b9D9Dgku/P1020106.JPG) • ***"I’M SCARED MOM"*** - Drawing/Photo by **@tesmoforia**, with a Lumix/Panasonic DMC-FH2. ![gears (1).png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVg48wWW8gBN2a7Wf2iex8S8KMhVKkwcon3RDuk38G2pm/gears%20(1).png) ![P1020107.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQ8hztjK4qNKdnczq5qhuivLbMhVKpEmtaoE8f2phVz8j/P1020107.JPG) • Drawing/Photo by **@tesmoforia**, with a Lumix/Panasonic DMC-FH2. ![gears (1).png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVg48wWW8gBN2a7Wf2iex8S8KMhVKkwcon3RDuk38G2pm/gears%20(1).png) ![P1020108.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYuvKNMynLRFrgDxHpXAoiqkeb6xe2ArwyQoYRQ9nRUzP/P1020108.JPG)

The gentle welcome and reception I received from everybody filled me with a lot of energy and a lot of expectation, and it also contributed to my staying on this platform, the experience made me want to be more constant. • • • ![development (1).png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWiE7UJkADFNpqDooqAjxqgqESByG8Q4wYLkj3TeFEAYN/development%20(1).png) • • • At the current time, I’m not a very active user on their **Discord** _server_, due the little time on hand and the limited _Internet_ due the infamous electricity short-takes that are being applied to the state (that can go up to 12 hours per day). However, it is always pleasant to find that every time I can look out to see _"what’s new"_, There is indeed something new to find out! And I think that nobody is indifferent to how organized the dynamic from those guys’ project looks. • • • ![rating.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmfSvWe8LbT3TDvnnAGzzAHsKgigLdw9Yg9EVrikWSJysY/rating.png) • • • At the current moment, **"Engránate"** is on my TOP 5 of Hispanic Steemit Projects that I like the most/sympathize with. - - -
