I've had a bunch of you ask about this drawing that I showed during chat the other day, so i figured I'd just do a quick blog about it.
I did it in my first year of advanced art my freshman year of high school. It's in charcoal. I COMPLETELY rushed the other side of the drawing and don't EVER include it in pictures because I don't like it. There's an owl that I literally drew THE day I turned it in. I got an A- with the comment of "Nice work sista!" from my art teacher Mr Stephens (the coolest person I have EVER known to date). Anyways, I have No clue who the kid is. I saw his picture in a National Geographic and my precious little bleeding heart ached when I saw the photograph. It was so beautiful. I wanted to recreate it. I spent the majority (99.9%) of the time on the kid and zero time on the damn owl and now i'm stuck with 1/2 one of my favorite drawings, 1/2 one of my LEAST favorite. EVER.
I think that was everyone's questions. . . . lol!
I've had requests to see more of my art and I will share it in time as I get to know everyone. Art is kinda the only thing sacred in my life and I like to keep it that way. I sold one painting once when I was 16 for $300. I had HORRIBLE separation anxiety, as it was a painting that I had done while going through my first hard breakup and so many of my tears and blood (literally) where in that paint. . . I cried myself to sleep the night I sold that painting. ...
The next morning I called my classmate's mom and bought it back.
Honestly, it's just because I know no one will ever love my art the way I love it. It's my blood, sweat, and tears. It's my nights laying awake for hours trying to decide between a red flower or an orange flower. It's my spare time for days, weeks, months sometimes. It's my heart every time and I guess that's what scares me about selling it off to someone who will never know what I went through to create it.
This got super deep, super fast and that was honestly not my intention. Hmmm...... I gotta fix this.....
Hey everyone! Let's laugh at these morons! lol
