I always forget I'm 'on there' until I get a notification that says 'you inspired an artist'!

I'm talking about *Sktchy*, an app where photographers or other crazy people can upload their selfies, and artists can use those selfies to show off, experiment or develop their illustration techniques.

Anyone can join, I've seen crazy talented people draw on there, but less gifted people use it as well, and all get some encouragement along the way. Heck, this app is the reason why I did three drawings myself a few years ago!

As I said, I always forget about me uploading some selfies over there, but tonight another artist let herself *be inspired* - my portrait was a perfect sample for her to test some newly received tools on.

It's an illustration based on the photo I shared in my '[Inner Vivian Maier](https://steempeak.com/photography/@soyrosa/my-inner-vivian-maier-1)' post.

What do you think? Pretty cool huh? I love the colours she used as well, and the fact it was made on black paper <3 Black is my colour and the monochrome tiles are why I love this self portrait of myself still after all these years. (It must've been more than 10 years ago.)

She even made a video on the unboxing and a timelapse of the drawing - I'm going to see if I can find a way to reach her and maybe get her on Steem if she's interested.

And *damn*, how fun would it be if we had apps like these in the Steem ecosystem... I really can't remember how many years ago I subscribed to this app, but it still is going strong as it's such a lovely niche, people just enjoy using it again and again. It's often the most peculiar apps that have these hardcore fans we need.
