First Post!

That is beautiful. You can put the image directly in the post though. There is a post on how to use Markdown which I did that you might find helpful: https://steemit.com/steemit/@thecryptofiend/markdown-basics-for-beginners

Thanks for the info! I just did that.

Fantastic. It would be useful for you to also do a verification in your post. Here is a post that explains how and why.

@vano Thanks for the heads up!

Just found out about this community and couldn't wait to share - I shall make a proper introduction post soon.

Indeed the work is mine, I had been on a break from drawing for some weeks and wanted to get back to it! Finished up this page last weekend at a coffee shop.

About the piece: I wanted to create some characters and test my patience with the page. Using patterns to force myself not to rush. I practice mindfulness by filling pages with patterns (and sometimes words!)

@thecryptofiend aha! thanks again for the useful tips! I shall make a proper introduction post to verify.

Welcome @psychedelictacos! Would you mind mentioning Steemit on your twitter real quick? https://twitter.com/@taco_designs

Sometimes people like to steal identities for financial rewards, so this is a good way of verification. Thank you!

Is it too obvious I'm totally winging this?

Its my IG page : https://www.instagram.com/taco_designs/

You can do it anonymously too. I think the information is in the same post so you don't have to reveal your real identity to everyone if you don't want to. Sadly a lot of people tried to scam in the beginning with using other people's art so it has become a thing now.

you account is now verified on steemit, an #introducemyself would help your account also gain some $$, I am now following you too, great art work. A step by step post on some art would do well. Any questions let me or mostly anyone here know, it is a super community!
full $teem ahead!

Awesome, thank you for taking the time to do that.

Psychedelic! Love it, especially the cat with sunglasses :) You'll be doing well here with such quality art!

Welcome to Steemit @psychadelictacos
In addition to what @pfunk said, I've also got a couple of newbie guides to help you navigate and understand the platform, with more to come. This is the link to my latest one on how to understand your wallet but there are links to other posts as well - like the one for newbie artists. Good luck! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your creations. :)
