This is how far I got on Thursday. I also worked on it a little bit last night.
It’s coming along quite well at the moment. I’m just hoping the eyes turn out the way I imagine. Me saying it has eyes is a little hint in a way. It’s something living then.
The different shades of colors separate each part of the drawing. Look at it closely and look at each patch of color and try to make up the drawing.
Take your time and don’t rush.
Take a guess after looking for a while.
What do you see?
This is how far I got on Monday, little by little I keep adding more.
Whenever I’m coloring I get bored in one area and end up coloring all over the place. That’s why there is random color.
If I were to focus on one area it would all fade into one part. How it does at the bottom.
I feel it’s because I’m very squirmy I guess. I’m always moving I can’t focus, I have to be moving.
When I think about nothing and draw I’m kind of like a kid walking down the middle of the road. Kicking rocks, skipping, screaming and just being a kid.
What I mean when I say that is my mind is free and I don’t care. A kid’s mind is free. As you grow up you become more of an adult.
You either loose the kid within or it stays with you. With my art I can show my childish side. The side most people fear to show. I always feel young and like a kid. I don’t think I’ll ever grow up.
At times I get into deep thought and think this.
Here I am this person, on this world. Living the life I have, wherever I am. I’m told to “grow up” what exactly does that mean?
My definition of growing up is probably different than most people.
I never fit in with most people, somehow I have these skills I don’t know how I received.
Being an art person is like being a kid your whole life.
Only kids make art, they say.
When you grow up you don’t make art kids make art.
Forever I will be a kid at heart. My art helps me with this much more. It makes my childish behavior never go away.
I look at kid’s making art and it’s so interesting. They are very focused. So focused they ignore everything else.
If you were to watch me, I’m a kid making a drawing. I smile and laugh and I’m singing to my music.
I feel as if I’m a little kid stuck in this body. Here I am and I make art.
Art is much more than art. If you really think about it. Art is everything. Without art nothing would be here.
All of the shapes and colors represent the pieces of the artwork.
The kid puts the color to the paper.
I started babbling, this happens sometimes. I usually write these on the spot. Hopefully someone understood that.
Can anyone guess what the drawing could be, with what has been added?
Thank you everyone and have a great day!
This is the progress of how far I got on Thursday. I also worked on it for a few hours on the weekend. As I have said before, it takes extremely long to color in my work. I apologize for how slow it takes me sometimes.
I believe you shouldn’t rush your art at all.
Imagine all the things that could be created and achieved. If people thought before their actions. Greater outcomes would happen.
If I rush my whole piece of art, the true potential won’t show. If I try my absolute best and say I didn’t give up and I fail. I’m happy with trying the best I did and failing.
Say I were to “fail” at this drawing. I only learned and my craft improved I can’t be disappointed about that. Yes it might not be everything I imagined or perfect.
There is no perfection, I influence you to make mistakes on your art or you won’t improve. Go crazy make something no one has ever seen.
There are no limits the imagination is limitless.
With all that has been colored in, what do you see in the image now?
Thank you everyone and have a great day!
I purchased a frame for one of my drawings. I have them all in a portfolio/storage file thing.
I’m not sure what drawing to frame, this will go in my room. Need more inspiration in there, to create more art.
My thought is the Iguana.
Here is the link to the blog post if you haven’t seen it yet.

What drawing do you think I should frame?
Here is the finished sketch. With the color added you have more of an idea of what this could maybe be.
With the progress on it so far, it’s taking a while to color in.
The darker and lighter areas should create the picture, like I said before, I’m thinking my position of all the shapes will work.
I Just need to continue coloring and see what I come up with.
Is there any guesses on what this drawing might be?
Finished the sketch on Thursday plus added a little color. There’s no color in this sketch.
The reason why is because I have it colored in right now. I wanted to show you a full sketch without Color. I fixed up a few things too.
Like I said before, I’m thinking I did good with the angles and proportions. The picture should turn out. I feel iffy on it, I’ll have to color it in and see.
Observe the drawing for a bit, then guesses, take your time.
What do you see?
This is how far I got on Monday. I’m almost finished with the sketch.
I should finish it today, my thoughts on this are iffy. Hopefully it turns out the way I’m imagining it.
I can see the picture I’m trying to draw, the color will give it life.
So far with all the detail that has been added, can anyone identify what this could be?
This is the progress from Thursday, I got a decent amount finished. I was in the “zone” and I was drawing without stopping for a bit.
This happens to me sometimes I don’t know how to explain this feeling. Other artist can probably relate. Most of the time I have to ease in and draw, over time I get the into a flow.
On Thursday I got in the flow right away. This happens usually a few times throughout a drawing.
Short story to share.
One time I completely forgot about the time and skipped a meal. It was 10:30Pm and I had to work the next day. Literally living in the moment of my life. I wish I could never leave that world. One day it will happen.
Can anyone guess what this drawing might be?
I’ll give you one hint, look at the shaded parts and see if you can make up the picture, start guessing what you see. Don’t think about it, just look.
Have fun guessing.
