More crazy colors added.

Recently received some new drawing paper I ordered off the internet.

The brand is “Strathmore. ”

I have heard a lot of great reviews about this paper/brand.

Before I was using different paper a little thinner than the paper I just got.

Still, thick just not as thick as the current paper I will be using.

The color on the new paper I got is a little tan as well.

The tan color is supposed to help the image pop out even more than normal.

Going to have to think of new drawing ideas.

So I can use the new paper.

Will be brainstorming in my head thinking of what to draw next.

Again, I apologize for the post not being up to date.

I post when I can post.

I appreciate everyone’s patience.

Thank you and much love! 😊

Added some color to the drawing. I apologize that the image turned out dark and unfocused. There are moments where I need to take a picture of the drawing and I feel the urge to create instead. Battling between the thought of creating and attempting to take a picture I Manifest a little anxiety. When you force yourself to take a picture it is hard to take the best picture you can. Even though I have had the camera for about a year now. You learn new things every day. Do not force each moment of this life. All you have to do is go with "your" flow. Do not follow the flow of others. Create the reality you desire to be within. Ignore the flow of others. Otherwise, you are possibly aspiring to be someone that is not yourself. Focus on yourself and remember to spread positive energy to others. Do what is best for thyself. Appreciate each moment as it passes. Each moment could possibly be your last. Smile more instead of manifesting all that negative energy. #abstract #abstractart #art #artist #artwork #colors #detail #doodle #drawing #geometry #multimedia #pattern #popart #prismacolor #sketch

When you are slow at something you can observe what you are doing. When you rush at something you miss many vital moments that could have been learned the first time. Slower and smarter. Is smarter than faster and zero effort. There is always "more" than what you think about. There is more than what the eye can see. You will never "know" everything. Facts are limited. Imagination is infinite and never ends. We are told to manifest a fact we have to follow a formula. Idea, hypothesis, conclusion. When using your imagination. All you have to do is think your own thoughts. It is not that tricky in my perspective. What you hold in your mind grows. How do we know what we know? I "feel" as if we only know what we know because we are all told what to "know." Have you ever thought for yourself? Or have you accepted everything that "others" tell you? There is a difference between fact and fiction. The thing is. How do you know what is what? Is it "possible" to "falsely" "manifest" a "reality" that seems to be here but in reality is not here at all. What I mean when I say this is. What is real. What is an illusion? To know. To not know. Quite confusing. What shall "i" do. At the end, which is always near. The future is just a thought. To know what happens beyond this physical realm is difficult to "know." Sure, you may create an idea for a hypothesis than a conclusion. Manifesting "facts." To explain the imagination is quite difficult. What the individual sees through their eyes and not another's eyes in their own unique way. Concludes to my idea and thoughts of what the imagination is. To think thoughts and to manifest sentences. Somehow creating meaning/mental pictures. That is truly mind-blowing in my perception. "I" "believe"...

The drawing has been finished for a while. A few individuals guessed what this sketch could be in previous posts. This drawing is different compared to most of the drawings I have been arting on. This piece of art has more of a "meaning" behind it. Yes, all pieces of art speak to you differently. Even if it is quite difficult to manifest a perspective of what you are observing. What you see within the art is what you see within yourself. What you interpret the image into is a reflection of your soul at the moment. Art lets you appreciate the moment for what it is. The moment is all we possess. Live a positive life over a negative life. The choice is yours. Manifest what you please. #abstract #abstractart #art #artist #artwork #colors #detail #doodle #drawing #geometry #multimedia #pattern #popart #prismacolor #sketch

Work smarter, not harder. Everyone is in the rat race to "prove" who is the "best." We all should be striving to be our individual greatest version. Instead of attempting to outdo others. If you think about it. We are all aspiring to become someone that is not even ourselves at the end of the day. You should be in the process of becoming "yourself." If you are out doing others every moment. Then who is this "you" that they call "you?" Life is not a competition. If there is any competition, it should be against yourself. Become a greater you today than you were yesterday. The slow and steady process is wiser than forcing yourself to be fast and unsteady. You will end up retracing your steps when you are in a hurry. To never fully grasp the moments for what they are. If I were to ask you. Who is this you that they call "you?" What would you answer me with? Who are you? I am not talking about the person on the left of you or the right of you. There are people behind you and in front of you. Who I am talking about is "you" the person within this flesh body of a vehicle. Look within your "soul." What is hidden within your soul? That is what I ask. Ignore your ego for a moment and attempt to feel the energy of love. Do you fear yourself or love yourself? Decide to love instead of deciding to fear. Show your true self to the world. Unless you wish to play the game of mental slavery. To be a part of the rat race in competition with others. Or to live in the moment and take everything slow and steady. To do or to be. The choice is yours, my friend's. Live that positive life Unless you wish to live that negative life #be #efforts #fear #greatest #life #love #moment #negative #positive #ratrace #results #smart #soul #version #wise #yourself

About 60% of the drawing is complete in this photo. This drawing is coming out nice and smoothly. All you have to do is go with the flow and the flow will guide you to where you need to be headed. There is no one destination. Instead, there are infinite doors with infinite possibilities. Remember to never give up on yourself in the hardest of times. We have the negative moments in life to help us push through the emotional roller coaster in this life. Practice how to withstand adversity. We will all fall, but very few have the courage to stand back up on their two feet. It is easier to give up and to not try at all. Then to follow your passions, goals, and dreams. If you live your life in fear you are ironically living within a false reality but only to dream of what "you could have been." Could, would and should. These words are past tense. Attempt to never use these words. All we possess is this moment. Focus on the moment or you will become lost in between all the other moments in life. To never appreciate the moment fully for what the moment holds. Magic. #abstract #abstractart #art #artist #artwork #colors #detail #doodle #drawing #geometry #multimedia #pattern #popart #prismacolor #sketch

The last drawing that was completed was "Jean Michel Basquiat." Took me about 2 and a half weeks to sketch and color. If you missed the last drawing, go take a look. To post all the updates including the final picture took about a month or so. I often apologize about not being up to date with my posts. It feels weird to be posting sketches I am currently not "arting" on. The "real" world interferes with "creative minds." Depending on how my energy is. I will post nothing for the longest time. The art itself is more important than all the likes, followers, shares, and comments. You can have millions of likes, followers, shares, and comments. In the end, to never feel validated by other individuals. All of that attention will have to keep manifesting itself otherwise you will feel "unloved." Remember to make time to love yourself. If you forget to love yourself, you will forget how to love others. Take some time to express your inner child instead of having your arms crossed with such a serious face. Smile more instead of manifesting all of that negativity into your life. Live that positive life. Why so serious muahahahahahaah!!!!!!! (Joker's voice) #abstract #abstractart #art #artist #artwork #colors #detail #doodle #drawing #geometry #multimedia #pattern #popart #prismacolor #sketch

I would say the most challenging process of this drawing was the placement of color, hahahaahah. I Love Basquiat's hair. He was a very unique "gifted" individual. The reason why I put "gifted" in quotation marks. I often hear artists or musicians be called "gifted" in interviews or compliments. This has happened to me as well. In saying another is gifted and yourself is not is quite a paradox. We are all "gifted." It is just how you use your "gift" in this world. Look within yourself and listen to that subconscious of yours. Who are you deep within your soul? Life is a gift. Remember that. I did not stress myself out as much on the process of this drawing compared to most. The person in this drawing is Jean Michel Basquiat. I am guessing if you "know" your art you will know who "Basquiat" is. If you do not understand art history, it will be quite confusing to understand the meaning of Basquiat's paintings. The style of art Basquiat created was Neo-expressionism, Primitivism, and contemporary art. Some will say his artwork is rubbish others will see the pure organic beauty in each brush stroke. You can sit down and observe a single piece of art for an infinite amount of time. There is always something to learn even though you think there is nothing to learn. In the end, art is subjective and the viewer manifests an opinion/perception of each artwork they observe. In my perception. What the "individual" sees within the art itself is a reflection of their soul at this moment. Here are a few quotes I would like to share by Jean Michel Basquiat. I relate to what he says within each quote...

Ironically, in sharing what I have to say about this quote/photo. I am sharing my perspective so I am "correcting" individuals but at the same time, I am not "correcting" individuals. I am expressing myself through my heart and soul. I have a feeling that negative people do not feel validated to their own existence. In not feeling accepted by others. The individual will do anything to prove themselves. Even if that means "knowing" and "correcting" everyone and everything. As a child, the way you were "raised" and "taught" will manifest itself into the future. Possibly you will become a product of your surroundings. Unless you dig deep within your own soul and listen to what your subconscious has to say. Then you will become your unique self instead of following what others tell you. The intuitive mind. There are logical people and people who believe there is more than what the eye can see. People who "know" everything are insecure with themselves in my perception. Attention seekers seek validation because they were not accepted in the past for "who they are." Now at this moment, the individual has to "prove" themselves to every other person in the universe. It is wiser to be and to have a calm mind. Than to be in a hurry "correcting" and "fixing" everyone besides yourself. How about instead of telling others what to do with their life. You improve your own life instead. Health is wealth. I recommend taking care of your own health instead of caring about this imaginary word called the "ego." The "ego" is real but then again the "ego" is not real. The ego is a false...

In this picture, the drawing is almost complete. The variety of colors I am using is uplifting the energy of the process. You come to a realization where you have to take a deep breath and you realize art is all about the moments and not the "final result." The "end result" would not be here if it was not for all the moments in between. In this society, most individuals are seeking an "end result." The journey of life never ends until you "end." Appreciate the moments as they pass. There will be a moment in time where these moments you are experiencing right now at this moment will never happen again. Live your best life. Be your unique self and express your soul to the universe. You are you for a reason. Be you and fear nothing about yourself. Spread your wings and free yourself from all the tension society creates within your soul. Do not take this life for granted. Life is a gift. One day you will be here. Another day you will not be here. Appreciate this life sooner than later. Before this life is gone in a blink of an eye. Life is my riches. Much love to all the beautiful people! <3 #abstract #abstractart #art #artist #artwork #colors #detail #doodle #drawing #geometry #multimedia #pattern #popart #prismacolor #sketch
