Hello Hive Fam, it's been awhile since we clicked, I've been battling with my finals and thanks to God, I've finally concluded my tertiary education. Nobody told me that the final lap is that stressful and strenuous but that's not why I got your attention right here.

Regardless of my inactivity, I've been making art, doing a few exercises and assignments to keep my wrist sharp and in line with my mind, making some of the techniques I've learnt muscle memory.
So here's one of the portraits I drew while struggling to write my exams, this demanded a level of focus and time from me that I've not given to my art in awhile and that's because i had a really short deadline to catch up with.

Title: untitled
Size: 12*14
Medium: generals charcoal pencils, graphite pencils ( 4b, 6b, 8b, 10b and 12b) kneaded eraser, blending stumps, brushes on FBB paper
Duration: 4hrs

Here are some of the progress clips I could shoot cos i was in a rush

That would be all for now. I wish I made more progress shorts yk, but I've taken corrections from this piece and documented my follow up pieces better, got alot to share from now till December. Just rock with me
Thanks for viewing 🙌

Hey there, first and foremost, congratulations on conquering your finals and completing your tertiary education! That's a massive achievement, and you should be incredibly proud of yourself. Now, about your art—it's evident that your dedication and focus shine through in every stroke. The details you've shared about your techniques and the effort you've invested truly make your work stand out. Considering the unique journey this piece represents, have you ever thought about turning it into an NFT? Your talent deserves recognition, and the blockchain art world could be the perfect platform for your creations. Your journey is inspiring, and I can't wait to see more of your progress and follow-ups. Keep rocking it, and remember, your artistic journey is one worth sharing with the world!

Yhh, I'm really proud of myself for pulling through the course, it's been a really long and eventful 6 yrs.
Thanks for the compliments and the hints, I'd really like us to talk more about the NFTs thing privately somewhere, could be discord or twitter or WhatsApp. I've been hearing about it but I feel like I have less than 20% info about it moving on. I'd really appreciate it if you could guide me abit.
