**Here's the preview of their latest artworks:**

# #1 - @reggiemilliz (32)

**Reggie Milliz** is an artist who **joined the Steem Network on 24 November 2018**. He's also a University student graduating in Engineering and lives in **Nigeria**.

The work I'm featuring from **@reggiemilliz** was published this morning and it's a portrait painting accompanied by a poem.

- **[THE MAN IN THE MIRROR](https://steemit.com/art/@reggiemilliz/the-man-in-the-mirror)**

The post is very simple, with no shots of the progress work but since this is only his 3rd post in this platform, I feel like **@reggiemilliz** can use a little bit more exposure. But what convinced me to feature him was the poem. Without it, I would have probably featured someone else instead.

**@reggiemilliz** has shared 3 portrait works so far and hopefully he will carry on and will improve his posting skills.

# #2 - @credlonu (51)

**Carlos León** is a **Venezuelan** visual artist, an illustrator and a photographer. He **joined SteemIt a little over a year ago, on December 30, 2018** and has been posting 3 or 4 excellent digital works per month, plus a few photographs.

The post I've selected from **@credlonu** is a beautiful digital illustration of a whale and a very nice example of his talent. This post is 2 days old.

**@credlonu** includes 13 screenshots showing the various steps he went through, from the beginning to the conclusion of the illustration!

# # Final Thoughts

At the time I'm writing this, both posts have very little rewards, with **$0.02** and **$0.58**.

**@reggiemilliz** has just started his Steem adventure and could use some help.  I think sharing a few steps of his work and letting us know the materials used would improve his posts a lot. What do you think? Please give him a few suggestions so he can improve the quality of his future posts.

**@credlonu** has been posting regularly for over an year and most of his works are really cool. What a great talent and quality. You should definitely start following this author.

Please give them some love and support. Any help is appreciated.
