Here's three recent art posts I've enjoyed. More info on why I'm doing this in my not-yet-written #introduceyourself post. In the meantime, just know that I'm doing this to both improve my life by learning to better appreciate art and to encourage good visual art here by promoting my 3 recent favorite pieces and sponsoring one of them for a share in #steembasicincome. --- ## [Copic Marker time!](https://steemit.com/art/@ladymaharet/copic-marker-time) ***by @ladymaharet***

### My comment > It looks really nice both shaded and in the digital ink version. I really dig that loose braid and her expression. ---- ## [Daily Practice #15](https://steemit.com/art/@anritco/daily-practice-15) ***by @anritco***

### My comment > I really like this style and I agree that it's a good idea to flesh it out into a world. You should give yourself more credit, it's easily recognizable as a mud golem (though a pizza golem would be a fun idea). ---- ## [Drawing with Passion · For the love of art and Life](https://steemit.com/art/@yohelyua/drawing-with-passion-for-the-love-of-art-and-life) ***by @yohelyua***

### My comment > Using contrasting halves to drive home the *memento mori* theme is nice enough, but all the little details and clean lines really make this special. ---- ## And the favorite is... The image itself is pleasing enough, but @anritco goes into a lot of detail showing all the thoughts behind many aspects of their piece, earning them a share of @steembasicincome (as soon as I can withdraw from bittrex).
