About the piece:
This is a presonification of the popular internet social network, Reddit. This begginer drawing shows how Reddit picks up the four basic elements that form the internet (Art; history and exprience; information and actuality; and people), and shapes them in it's own way. Reddit is represented as a kind of villain, mostly because Reddit it's not a censored webpage so it's not family friendly, and also because there's so much difference between the people that use it, it's hard to tell who he is inside, just like a real villain. But it's more a kind funny villan, joker style, because reddit is mostly known for it's memes and funny posts, that's why he is shaping the internet with that happy but scary face. He is also represented as a very caothic robot or SciFi type of person. He is a robot not only because the Reddit logo is a tiny robot, but because it seemed apropiate, due to all the information that it contains, like if he controlled everything inside the internet, and everything in the web was inside him, like a computer god. The reason why it doesn't have a determined style or a symetric body is because in the real Reddit people have different styles, and what each people publish is different, what makes this sotial network a little chaothic, but that's what makes Reddit great! You can also appreciate some inperfections it has in it's body as a robot, like broken parts that are replaced with scrap metal, bandages, etc. This represents that the webpage is not perfect, not only because of some stuff published by people, but also because of some inperfections the web page has, like any webpage. Finally, we have the internet representation. We can see how there's an energy ball for every element that forms the internet, each one represented with one colour: Art with red; history and exprience with yellow; information and actuality with blue; and people with green. All these elements are shown as "energy balls", wich all come together creating the internet, which is then controlled by Reddit. This drawing has been very difficult to draw, not only because I'm a begginer to drawing and a complete noob with digital art but also because of the perspective the drawing has been painted, wich has been a total, and awesome challenge. I'm really proud of my piece and I just hope and would love sombody to notice it, enjoy it, and comment on it with some advice so I can improve as an artist, and hopefully one day, win THE PRESTIGIOUS CHALLENGE OF THE MONTH! (or just create awesome art).

Here's a link that shows the process of this painting:

About me (this is just a part where I thank Jazza, It's not that important):
I'm just a 16 year old Spanish guy who loves art. When I was a kid I loved painting, even though I was really bad at it I really enjoyed doing it. But as I grew up it didn't seem like I was improving at all, and I started to get disencouraged by other people and mostly by myself, so I left painting. I dindn't really try to draw something good for a lot of time, until I found the Draw With Jazza channel . I started waching a lot of his art tutorials and fun challenges, and also I was a proud follower of the Passpartour series. While I wached more and more of his videos I went learning a lot about art and how it really worked, and some weeks ago I felt inspired enough to try drawing something by myself, and in my opinion the result was just awesome. So when he announced this challenge of the month I just felt encouraged enough to particioate, just to challenge myself. But to challenge myself even more, I decided to make a digital drawing, something I had never tried before. I didn't have any pro materials to do it, but just with my tablet I drawed the best thing I have ever done in my life, and all thanks to you Jazza, <3.
