Here is the finished sketch. At the beginning of each drawing, I get this "uncertainty" feeling. I believe in myself, but I never know where to lay the pencil first. Creating in any form "makes" you enter a completely different state of mind. You have to think outside of the box and create things no one has ever created before. When sketching this I entered a "flow state." During these times I get this feeling as if my body is not here and I am living fully through my soul. To finish this sketch it took a while, but I entered the flow state faster than normal. Sometimes when I create 7 hours feels like 7 minutes. Sometimes when I create 4 hours feels like 8 hours. "Time" will mess with your mind playing games with you all the "time." There is no time besides the "time" you create within your reality. "Time" creates many problems that do not need to be manifested into this world. When creating art I meditate for a bit and this helps me lose the idea of "time." When you follow "times" rules. You become a slave to time. I am not saying to be lazy and be a couch potato. Have a schedule, but have your schedule be in a flow state. Enjoy what you are doing each day. Each day holds an experience that will assist you in becoming your greatest version. I believe quality is more important than quantity. Do not rush everything in this life. Take your time and quality will show itself. Manifest everything in a hurry and the quality might not show itself. Use nothing but love when living this life. When you live life in fear you will start regretting most of your actions and decisions. Trust the voice within. (intuition.) Live through the soul instead of the body. #abstract #abstractart #art #artist #artwork #colors #detail #doodle #drawing #geometry #multimedia #pattern #popart #prismacolor #sketch

21st birthday (02/01/1998) I am an artist/writer/philosopher that lives in North America, in the United States. I live in a small town of about 40,000 people. Each person is similar to a ghost walking throughout the streets. You never really know each individual, but can observe and feel the presence of their energy. Each person having their own aura. I have been creating art for the past two years now, in a serious way. When people ask me "What do you do for a living." I always question what that means. What I "do for a living" really should not matter, should it? I could be a bitter soul full of hatred and have all the money/ fame in this world. Your labels do not define who you are. The energy you emit to the world, as well as the energy you feel within yourself, is who you are. Labels do not change who you truly are. Be your true self instead of hiding behind different masks. Loyalty and trust are important when using your soul. If I were to have all the money in the world I would still be who I am today. I would help the people in need. Spread as much love around as I can. My answer to this question. "What do you do for a living." Well, I breathe, just like everyone else. I eat/ go to the bathroom. Oh and I sleep sometimes too. My point is, I am nothing but human. I happen to make art for happiness and I am lucky enough that I can make it into a "career" in the future. The goal is a full-time "career", well that is the dream. This dream lies in my hands. The people help the dream happen...

Use each and every day as an experience to become your greatest version. When you observe an individual vibrating negative energy. Imagine what they are doing, but imagine the complete opposite of what they are doing. If an individual is manifesting negative energy they "should" react in a "positive" way. We live in a world of opposites. Then again, I guess everything is perspective and there is no wrong or right. The negative souls are too blind to realize they are negative. Positive souls look within themselves and find peace in all situations. The positive people understand the "negative" souls are suffering. The negative people understand the "positive" souls are in the process of healing themselves. We are all the same in the end. We are all "one." We are all in this world together. Life is a never ending journey. How do you know what is "wrong" and what is "correct." All I have to say is if you are raising the vibrations of the world manifesting more light into the world keep doing what you are doing. If you feel the energy being sucked out of yourself as well as your reality. I recommend shifting your way of life. Observe everything in a positive perspective, even when the situation is full of negativity. When you can "see through" peoples energies you have "mastered" using the soul. The soul senses negativity and positivity. Many people ignore the energies of the world. Ignoring their soul. If you are an "empath" you feel energies more than others. At times absorbing the energies of the world is overwhelming for one individual. One individual cannot take on the whole world. You can only live within one moment, not infinite moments. Saying that, appreciate the "now" right "now" jahahaha ;). To be and set free. for the full description visit my last blog: https://chaoticshapes.com/2019/03/12/quote-83/ Or click on the link in my bio, then on menu then on blog.

I would say about fifty to sixty percent of the drawing is done in this picture. This sketch is going quite smoothly. The coloring always takes longer than the sketch of the picture. Deciding the color takes more energy out of me than deciding the shapes. Not sure how to explain this. Thinking other individuals will relate to me. Deciding the color is similar to a life or death situation. The energy is at a high when using colors. The smartest thing to do is to not overwhelm yourself. Let everything happen and everything will come to you. Do not tense up and if you feel frustrated. I recommend taking a 10-minute break or walking away for a moment. Never force your art otherwise the art will be work instead of play. #abstract #abstractart #art #artist #artwork #colors #detail #doodle #drawing #geometry #multimedia #pattern #popart #prismacolor #sketch

This photo shows an example of perspective. Charlie Brown is thinking "negative" thoughts. Charlie could be using deep philosophy explaining his "out of the box" thoughts. Then again, it could be depression. Snoopy is agreeing but then he comes back with a positive perspective. Snoopy has the right mindset. Who knows, this image is only perspective and the way you see everything. We live in a society that dwells on things that we do not have. Instead of living life in gratitude and appreciation of the things we do have. Think in depth like charlie brown. Use Philosophy in all your thoughts. Be like Snoopy as well. Manifest nothing but positive energy. Turn the "negative" energy into "positive" energy. #appreciation #death #depth #energy #gratitude #infinte #life #manifest #negative #perspective #philosophy #ponder #positive #truth #thoughts

Started this drawing a while ago. Took a picture of the drawing multiple hours in. I would say this is about 10-20% finished. At the beginning of each drawing, you have to trust yourself. Never over think anything. Let the mind be free and the art will create itself. If you force the process of the art your true self will not show through your art. If you create art for the purpose of not creating. You will create something you did not intend to create. Use your soul when creating instead of forcing everything. You do not have to always listen to others. Let others say what they wish to say. In the end, follow your intuition. Everyone have a great day! #abstract #abstractart #art #artist #artwork #colors #detail #doodle #drawing #geometry #multimedia #pattern #popart #prismacolor #sketch

It is as if all these "famous" people are really not "famous." We are all "famous." Each individual is their own movie star to their own movie called "reality." Think about it, honestly, if you work hard at something. You will have to succeed in some form. If you fear yourself there is a 0% chance anything will happen. There is "success" within us all. I am not saying people who have succeeded are lazy, they are simply hard workers and are good at their career. "Success" is different to us all. Life is a never-ending journey. Remember to never get comfortable. Life throws infinite possibilities at you when least expected. Use the negative moments to help you grow. Instead of using the negative moments to create a negative reality. Manifesting a negative thought pattern into your psyche. At the end of the day, everything is your choice, you are your human form. No one controls you beside yourself. Each individual should achieve to be their greatest version. How do you know what to do and what not to do? How do you know if this person they call "I" is who "I" really am. All I can say is the more love and positive energy you are feeling within your soul. The more you are becoming your true authentic self. Fear nothing besides fear itself. The more you fear this life and the person called "I." You are absorbing and manifesting more negative energy than needed. A negative reality will not be a fun reality. Inspire yourself each moment to become your greatest version each and every day. Or walk down the path of negative manifestations. The choice is yours, my friend. To decide a life full of despair and darkness. Or to decide a life full of light and love If you wish to be better than everyone else you... for the full description visit my last blog: https://chaoticshapes.com/2019/02/24/quote-4-repost-new-addition/ Or click on the link in my bio, then on menu then on blog.

"Salvador Dali" Throughout the process of this drawing, I was attempting to push myself past my limit of comfort. My main focus was to make everything as abstract as possible. The colors were a little mind-boggling to figure out, but I am up for any challenge. Each piece should challenge you more than the last work of art. Somehow I end up surprising myself each and every piece of art. Sometimes I have no idea how I create what I create. Everything happens within the moment of the moment. Time and space are forgotten when creating art. Through art, the soul is set free. You forget you even have a body. There are no rules in art. Create as the soul wishes. Art is the greatest way to teach yourself about life. Through art, you learn patience and learn how to love. You appreciate the moment more than ever. The process of art is similar to the process of life. Be diligent with everything you do. A piece of art could take you a lifetime to "complete." Technically no piece of art is finished. You just have to stop yourself from adding more to the piece. Life is a never ending journey. The moments in between life create the life we are living now. Art is a process of small steps put together, creating "one whole moment." Art shows you the "answers" to life. Through art, you nurture the soul. Salvador Dali is an example of someone who is their true authentic self. He was quite a "crazy man." Then again all "artists" are crazy. When you step outside of the box and question yourself as well as your surroundings. Then you realize everything makes sense, but nothing makes sense at the same time. Life is just a hallucination perceived differently by each person. The "artist" expresses themselves through... for the full description visit my last blog: https://chaoticshapes.com/2019/02/23/salvador-dali/ Or click on the link in my bio, then on menu then on blog.

I passed 900+ likes on Facebook, very happy to have achieved this. I would like to say thank you to everyone, for your support and loving energy towards the art and words I create Everyone will not enjoy what you create or produce, but that is okay. All art is different in all forms. For different people and different thoughts. Some attract to other forms of art than others. We are not all the same, all of our eyes are targeted towards different things. If something makes you happy, keep doing it. Do not only hope for an end result but realize it will be a long never ending journey. I create art for the purpose of enjoyment and love. Not for money or to build my ego. My label does not matter to me. You must do what you must do. Art makes me happy and clicks some joy into my soul/heart. Art found me and I did not find the art. It was that very day and that very moment art caught my eye, from there art lured me in. From there, I have been addicted and it brings never-ending happiness and joy to my heart and soul. If I did not enjoy making art there would be no purpose in pursuing art. Why do something if you never have any thought about it? I can serve my purpose in this world, or just give up and do nothing. Without art, I would have nothing, literally nothing. It is all I have, not all respect that. Whatever, this life is for me to live and not for another to decide it. The only reason to give up is from fear and laziness. Also, there are these people that give you a vibe, that you are totally wasting your time. Do not fall for these kinds of people. Do not let the negative opinions create you...
