Here's the progress of the drawing at the moment. I was thinking before I started adding some more color I should take a picture now. This is a small drawing compared to the rest I have done in the past. Saying that this should be finished sooner than later. Just because the drawing is smaller doesn't mean I should hurry and rush the drawing. All time is the same. You only create the time within your mind. (Anxiety) Experimenting with the colors on this drawing. Not sure what will happen, but all you can do is trust the process. If you don't trust the process you don't trust thyself. More like a false belief or reality. Manifest the thoughts you have hidden within the corners of your mind. Transfer all the inner thoughts into this "real world." Be the real you. #abstract #abstractart #art #artist #artwork #colors #detail #doodle #drawing #geometry #multimedia #pattern #popart #prismacolor #sketch

I had to sketch this out two times. In the past, I would have been anxious or angry you can say. That I would have to draw something two times. The reason why I had to draw this two times. Was that the first sketch was on thin paper. I had to transfer the sketch to a piece of paper with more thickness. The size of the drawing doesn't match any of the papers I have. All I have is huge paper. I had to cut a new piece of paper out and be careful to not damage anything. I was taking my time and not rushing. Otherwise, I would mess something up. I could only imagine ripping and tearing the paper moments before the final cut of the paper. I need to invest in more paper. All different sizes. Buy thick paper and not thin paper. The half I showed last time didn't have as much detail. This half has a lot more detail. Look closely and try to imagine what this could be. In the process of creating this, I stumbled in one section a few times, but other than that it was all good. The dexterity of the drawing is increasing. The more I challenge myself the easier it gets. I can continue to challenge myself and improve or just stay where I'm at. If I fail, then I fail. You have to fail to learn and improve. Or you'll stay just where you're. Now I begin coloring. I'm still deciding on the colors. Slowly applying colors here and there. Over time you figure out the flow of the drawing. The colors will eventually decide themselves. All you have to do is have confidence in yourself and believe. Don't doubt yourself or think negative thoughts. #abstract #abstractart #art #artist #artwork #colors #detail #doodle #drawing #geometry #multimedia #pattern #popart #prismacolor #sketch

I'd like to say thank you for 90,000 views on the blog! :) At the moment I have 91,819 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's no other way. I always say it's not always about the numbers or amount of fame you receive but the pure happiness and joy you get out of what you do. We're 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's quite amazing how that works, hahaha. This blog brings a huge experience in my life that I thought I would never be doing. If someone told me these exact words a few years ago. "Hey Brandon, you're going to make a blog in the future." If this was told to me about 2-3 years. 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's 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.....

I always mean to post updates on the days I draw. I happened to get carried away with this drawing and almost finished it within the first day I started the sketch. I wish I had a camera floating above the drawing that could take pictures every so often. Then I wouldn't have to completely stop drawing to take a picture and instead I could continue to draw while the picture is being taken no interruptions. That would be cool, hahahaha. This drawing is smaller than the rest of the average pieces I create. Attempting something new and attempting to challenge myself more and more each drawing. To leave the box I'm within and to open my horizons. Create something I'm unfamiliar with and to keep pushing myself out of my comfort zone. Sure I could create something similar every time. They say change is the only constant. I can't keep doing what I'm doing over and over. If so I'll never improve or expand my art skills. Let's see what this brings to the table. Just sharing a part of the sketch, not everything I have completed right now. I have to eventually transfer this sketch onto a thicker and fuller piece of paper. After the full sketch and when I transfer the whole Image. Then I'll post the whole sketch itself. This image is going to be quite different compared to what I have been creating in the past. I apologize if the image confuses you, hahaha. Observe the sketch the best you can, this is only half of the sketch. #abstract #abstractart #art #artist #artwork #colors #detail #doodle #drawing #geometry #multimedia #pattern #popart #prismacolor #sketch

Take a look at yourself. Before you look around judging others. Take a look at thyself. Change what you seek within and don't change others. The changes you wish to apply to others in all reality concludes back to thyself. Let's say you think a person's belief or the way they represent their person in this world is quite strange. It takes the strangest one out of them all to notice the strange ones. We all have our weird lives. Just let everyone be, don't cause any harm and don't destroy the time. Appreciate this life many only wish to have the life you experience. At the end of all these comparisons. Thyself is in need of change. Think about this for a moment. We're nothing but reflections of each other. Everyone is my brother and everyone is my sister. I wish and hope no harm happens to anyone. All I wish is the best for all souls and for all of us to succeed. Don't let envy, greed, ego, and possessions destroy your life. Many tell me this is very unrealistic and I'm only a dreamer. Join me on the dream of love or don't. Many of my beliefs and ideas are unrealistic, but like I always say everything is perspective. If you know what life is worth living you'll find that place on this earth. Even if that means not accepting the ideologies that are thrown at you. Being a rebel or rule breaker doesn't always conclude to negative actions or energies. The truth has lies within itself. The lies are hidden within the truth. In the end, it all comes down to thyself, and nothing of the others. Concentrate that energy on thyself and see how much you can accomplish. Instead of walking around correcting others. Wasting that energy you could have used on yourself. In the end, no one knows what they're doing or saying. We just think we do.....

The drawing is finally complete after countless hours and many late nights. I was awake till 1:30 am finishing this. So technically the same day I’m posting it hahaha. I didn’t think to look at the time till I was finished with the drawing itself. I couldn’t sleep till I finished the drawing. Sleep or art, it’s a difficult choice. I wish I didn’t have to sleep at all, instead I could create art throughout each and every night. The nights I know I don’t work the next day or I have nothing going on I’ll stay up quite late and draw as much as my mind lets me. I get lost within my own imaginative world. Within that Imaginative world, I created this drawing. The journey of this drawing was similar to a roller coaster. At times I had no idea what I was doing and was going with the flow. Then at times, I guess you can say I think I knew what I was doing. I feel as If I have no idea what is going on when I draw, but I just do what my soul tells me. I’ll change my mind about what to do about one million times. The end result of the drawing has an infinite amount of possibilities. I could have used any color or any shape while creating this. I’d say it’s more of the universe creating the art than myself. I get into an art “nirvana” and get completely lost within my own world. Creating away while the rest of the world is busy doing earth like things. The Final drawing is of Jimi Hendrix. The red colors were the most challenging out of the whole entire drawing itself. I bet there are 4 different shades of red in each shape. In the end, it’s something of my own color. A lot of different reds mixed together. The way they name, colors is very precise. If you didn’t know I use Prismacolor colored pencils on my drawings.....

This is my second time sharing a repost. When you read the response don’t judge the words. It looks like this person had a lot of emotions flowing out at once. We’re all imperfect with language. When I post my writings and blog posts. I know for a fact I don’t have everything perfect. Each day you improve more and more. I’d like to say some things after receiving this response from the quote that was read. This one happened to have a mass amount of energy within it. The moment you have a realization is the greatest moment you can have. It’s at this moment you accept the demons and flaws. You realize life is actually beautiful and everything is worth it in the end. life will be quite challenging it’s a challenge for everyone to accept thyself. It might seem to be easy to accept yourself, but it’s the hardest thing you can literally do. You’ll manifest every amount of energy you produce within this world back to thyself. One way or another. It could be a bad day. Horrible luck constantly. Or just something as simple as negativity. Manifest negative thoughts and you’ll become negative. Manifest positive thoughts and you’ll become positive. Each day is a new day to become a greater version of thyself. Just remember to never give up. The universe hasn’t given up on you so you shouldn’t give up on the universe. Life is similar to a very complex game. All you have to do is attract and manifest the things full of love and positive energy, If all you do is hate and feel all the negative feelings you’ll continue to feel and think all these things. No one is perfect and we’re all addicted to something or sinners you can say. No one is perfect. A world of imperfect souls....

I thought it would be a good idea to take a picture before I add any more color to the drawing. This drawing has been quite the journey so far. Usually, when I "finish" the drawing. I'll look at the image a few times to see if I missed anything that I forgot to add. It's always when I'm almost finished with one of my pieces that I work the slowest and use as much focus as I can. Don't want to miss anything. You always improve each drawing. I don't think about the next drawing till I'm in that moment. Otherwise, I'll get sidetracked and I have to use all my energy on one thought and that's it. The art I'm currently creating is the only thought in my mind and nothing else. Maybe I'll finish this up tonight. Not going to rush it, just going to take my time. Let's see what we come up with. Don't forget to have fun when creating. It's not a forced action. It's nothing but shapes, colors, and words. I'm not forgetting about all the other art forms as well. More than shapes, colors, and words. It's just a smart way to think about it to not stress yourself. I think you'll understand what I'm saying. Just have fun and that's it. Don't stir up that mind of yours. #abstract #abstractart #art #artist #artwork #colors #detail #doodle #drawing #geometry #multimedia #pattern #popart #prismacolor #sketch

I'm what I'm You're who you're We're all that we're. There is nothing separating us besides the different side of the doors. Perception is everything. I'm what I'm. You're who you're. We're all that we're. Be proud of who you're. Or what I'm. You may ask who am I? I'm a body with a spirit. This is the same with you. We're more spirits than people. A flesh body with a soul put within a conscious. Life is created by feelings and emotions. All life is energy and atoms of existence. Let me explain my emotions for a second. Nothing in this outside world makes me happy. It's simple things like watching a horse glisten in the sunlight as it's running across a field. The horse's mane flowing in the wind. Or a bee flying from one flower to another. Such a beautiful sight to imagine. All of this is over in a short few seconds. Nothing within the external world makes me happy. Internal or external emotions. Happiness is created from within and not by the material. The energy you feel within and the strength of your heart. Plus the character you possess as an individual is what creates your soul. Not the material or money you possess. Things in the internal world make me happy. Things similar to music, art or an expression of energy. The material is false energy, but it's still energy. Man is made out of the dollar. Or man is life? Emotion is pure magical energy. It's pure and real, but only felt within and impossible to see. Emotions are truer and ever more physical than physical objects themselves. Emotion is life. Experience can only be felt and is quite hard to explain. I learn most of what I learn throughout the dreams I have. In your dreams, you're in control. A dream is a thought of the unconscious brought into this reality of the world...
