The sketch is complete. There is a chance a few areas were missed. With all the shapes and detail my mind will forget a few things. You can always go back and add to the sketch. Ignore rushing the process. The control of the energy is all up to you. Move as you please. If I see something missing I can add to the sketch at that moment. Look closely and observe the drawing. Try to take one part at a time and create an image in your mind. I recommend squinting your eyes when looking at the image. When you squint your eyes the shapes connect and create a full picture. Blurring the image together. With this drawing, I decided to challenge myself even more than last time. You need to be out of your comfort zone to grow and expand. Step outside the box you are within. Hopefully, this drawing turns out the way I'm imagining. Each drawing I get this weird feeling it won't turn out, but I still believe in myself. I'm pretty sure it is the perfectionist in the artist. You can never be certain of anything but sometimes you need to settle. Trust the process and everything will be okay in the end. You create your own reality. Create at your best. #abstract #abstractart #art #artist #artwork #colors #detail #doodle #drawing #geometry #multimedia #pattern #popart #prismacolor #sketch

This photo is from Monday. I took a picture before I started sketching. Near the end of the drawing, I'm more particular about the shapes and angles. As the final sketch is almost complete. The energy is increased and I spend more time on the sketch as well. Compared to the beginning. You don't want to rush and "mess up." What you see right now might possibly look a little different than the final sketch. Changed up some of the proportions and angles of the drawing. I tend to be uncertain about each drawing I sketch. In the end, each drawing usually turns out the way I imagined. Not 100% but close to what I'm imagining. Without colors, it can be quite difficult to identify anything. There are so many lines and shapes it might overwhelm some people. A few moments ago I finished the final sketch. The final sketch will be posted either tomorrow or in a few days. Have a great night everyone! :D For the full description visit my last blog: https://chaoticshapes.com/2018/07/16/update-on-the-sketch-almost-finished/ Or click on the link in my bio, then on menu then on blog.

I'd like to say thank you for 100,000+ views on the blog! :) At the moment I have 102,561 views. I wouldn't have made it here without any of you. Literally hahaha, the only way I can get views is if people view my blog. There is no other way. I always say the numbers or amount of fame you receive doesn't matter as much as the pure happiness and joy you get out of what you do. We are all the same person. In the end, nothing much, but mirrors of individuals looking at each other. Throughout the process of creating this blog and everything with my art. I have had a lot of love created. However also a lot of stress as well. Each day is a new day to learn something new. I'm learning new things every day. It is quite amazing how that works, hahaha. This blog brings a huge experience in my life that I would have never imagined until now. If someone told me these exact words a few years ago. "Hey Brandon, you will make a blog in the future." I doubt I would believe or understand what this individual was telling me. At this moment I'm quite happy and appreciate all of the viewers of the blog. The key is to keep the happiness and to not let anything take you down. In life, you will be taken down in many different moments. It just matters if you stand back up. We all fall, but very few stand back up. I appreciate everyone who has viewed or looked at my art/writings! Each view matters as much as the last. Thank you for letting me reach this far. I appreciate every single individual out there. I can feel the love and energy from everyone. it seems to be quite hard for me to express myself sometimes. I always try my best on here and the same with my comments. I always try my best to answer each and every comment. If I miss one or two of your comments I'm sorry, hahaha. Forgive me.

All the pain and suffering helps you find yourself. The real you. Without a form of struggle, you have no room to grow and evolve into a stronger you. There is this saying. It goes along the lines of this. “Life isn’t rainbows and unicorns.” Anyone can manifest something as beautiful or similar. It just takes a little bit of digging deep down within your soul. Use the energy of love. Do you ever sit in the dark. Listening to your own thoughts. The thoughts you normally run and hide from. The thoughts you fear to let out of your mind and into reality. All of these thoughts are you, but you just keep ignoring them. Over time ignoring all the negative thoughts can have a huge effect on you. Don’t drain yourself of your energy. Instead spread more love and ignore the hatred within this world. Imagine sitting in a room all alone. With every experience and thought hiding within the depths of your mind. All it takes is a moment to think back and “remember” something. Yes, all of what you are thinking has happened, but then again not. All you possess is the now. You are the now and all there is, is the now Let’s all grow up and put our adult diapers on and start treating each other with respect. The golden rule. “Treat others how you want to be treated.” I was taught this in kindergarten. This is basically the only thing I remember from school. The rest was how to build an ego and how to sell your soul for the dollar. As well as the history of how our people never make peace. Money is necessary but you shouldn’t sell your soul for a piece of gold. Life itself is richer than gold. If every person in the world lived the same life as every “rich” person. We would need up to 3 worlds. Possibly 4. Don’t follow the crowd. Be yourself. Be the real you. Instead of acting in your ego..

Repost (New Addition) Judging others for how you feel, it makes sense. Try to take it out in a positive way. Not aggressive. The hurt have been hurt. People often forget to transfer the negative energy into positive. Creating more ignorance in the world. Guns are better than love. What an insane world we live in. We are beings made to create conflict. To forcefully have thoughts about everything. The conscious was created to have conflict and to argue about things. Have an opinion. The challenge is between the people and the earth is living proof that we are failing as a world and nation. Anger and greed destroy the world. There is always time to improve things, we better start sooner than later. People live their lives as if it is their last in the depressing and sad way. Not beautiful and in love. Try to appreciate the moments as they pass by. Instead of being bitter and angry. Complaining about every little thing that your mind thinks about. Just take a deep breath, look into the beautiful painted sunset in the sky and appreciate the moment for how it is. Right now you could be in pure darkness and death. Nothing could be happening. A dark room with no view and no noises or the idea of thyself. All you could do is think in your subconscious. Possessing only the echo of the mind. There would be no past experiences or future ideas. You would be born into nothingness and leave this world into nothingness. As if you were never really here in the first place. Imagine that. Everything within all your moments put together being gone forever and to never be seen again. Your life will flash before your eyes. One moment you are here the next you are gone. It is as if you never lived. Life is nothing but an illusion. You might as well start living “now.” For the full description visit my last blog: https://chaoticshapes.com/2018/07/09/quote-31-repost-new-addition/ Or click on the link in my bio, then on menu then on blog.

I haven't been posting as much lately. When I draw I want to use all my energy on the drawing and ignore the post. When posting updates for everyone. It helps me learn how to use my camera. The camera isn't as easy to use as you think. There are many functions and buttons you have to learn. You need a quality picture. Photography is art itself as well. People tell me to not stress about posting and to just worry about the art. I'd say this is about 60% sketched out. I'm thinking positive thoughts and manifesting the best sketch I can within my mind. I don't really get nervous or frustrated when drawing just uncertain about a lot of things. You have to ignore all the rules and just create. Everything will be okay in the end. Whatever happens within the moment was supposed to happen. Otherwise, it wouldn't have happened. Learn or fail. Become stronger than who you were and use the past experiences to build and create the strongest version of thyself. #abstract #abstractart #art #artist #artwork #colors #detail #doodle #drawing #geometry #multimedia #pattern #popart #prismacolor #sketch

Imagine having no reflection. All you felt was the energy within and that is it. Take a moment to take a look at thyself. Not literally instead spiritually. The emotions and energy you feel within. Feel your own aura. Is what you feel pleasant or with negativity. Do you actually believe the things you believe. Do you follow what is best for you. Is this the you that is you. Think about that, each time you judge or look for flaws within an individual. Is this the you that is you. Change is possible and within all souls. Change thyself before you start changing others. When you begin to change thyself others will follow and lead along. Try to ignore following others. Be a leader and not a follower. Be you and don't follow the crowd. Think the thoughts you wish to think because they attract towards you. Being yourself is quite challenging in this world. It is a balance of many different things in life. Equaling out all the energies. I recommend each person adding peace and love into their life. Positive energies. You can't forget about thyself. Mind, body, soul. Water, food, air, sun, working out. Self-care is important. Other ideas are hiding within my mind as well. We tend to forget the things that are important. Ironically living life in reverse. All the important things are unheard of or unseen. Everything seems to be completely opposite of what it should be. Each individual shall seek to focus and balance one's self. In this world, many worry about their ego and forgot about thyself. Is this act of "you" the real "you." Don't let material, labels, ego, numbers, envy, greed, jealousy. Past experience. The thought of the future. Or anything else that isn't here in this very "moment."

I apologize for the lack of posts lately. Usually, I try to post 2 updates on the drawing a week. Everyone tells me that the art is more important than the posts or updates. If the energy is at a high and I feel the need to draw I'll ignore posting. Last Monday I took a picture of the drawing. After finally taking a picture I was happy with. I continued to add to the drawing. At this very moment, the drawing is a little more than halfway done. What you see now in this image. Is about 1/4th of what I'm imagining within my mind. I'm going to take a picture and keep adding to the sketch. Each drawing I tend to keep challenging myself more and more. Possibly too much. I'm not sure if that's a positive or negative. To lose the thought of fear you have to ignore the fear. In the end, the fear was never really there. Just your imagination messing with you. Nothing is stopping you but you. The excuses never end, do they? Why would you do such a thing? Manifesting false ideas and beliefs. Remember to take it easy and everything will be okay. Just be you and that is it. #abstract #abstractart #art #artist #artwork #colors #detail #doodle #drawing #geometry #multimedia #pattern #popart #prismacolor #sketch

I should have done that. I could have done that. I would have done that. All of these were in the past tense. As if you are regretting the future. The current moment is wasted thinking about another moment in time besides the current moment. Regretting the past moment, wishing you woulda, coulda or shoulda. All time is now, so you better start sooner than later. Don't attract negative energy or thoughts. The negative thoughts will consume each section of your brain till you can't take it anymore. To suffer and manifest everything in a negative outlook is the scariest thing you can do. Doubt is similar to a monster or the subconscious, destroying your soul and person. Doubt is the voices of others opinions overriding your brain. Creating you into the you that isn't you. But a you of another you and not the you that you are. A false manifestation within the mind and it was nothing but a thought of energy. Not even a thought of yours, but another. You don't need anyone's validation to be you. The mind is in control of thyself. Don't be a slave to your own mind. Each thought and idea is the imagination. Why do I say this? Well, the only thing we possess is the "Now." Everything else is similar to a movie or story. There's this story and within a few more stories of the story, the original story is probably completely different than the original. "Drama." Is a word best to explain storytelling. If you are saying things out loud to others. Make sure to resist attracting any negative energy or it will come back to you. The ones who talk behind your back usually have the scariest karma to imagine. Be one faced. Not two, three or even four-faced. One faced people possess the highest energy. Be yourself and don't be scared of what others will think.
