I forget that i'm artistic sometimes...

Lately I've been getting back into art for the sake of just doing it. It's relaxing...letting the imagination just wander. Seeing what will become of a blank piece of paper. Because of everyday situations I forget that i'm artistic sometimes. I never really speak of the days going to Performing Arts H.S (NYC-The Fame school). I'm an emcee but before the creativity went into the raps it went into the drawings. Drawing from my imagination. From what you see up top, you see where my mind is at.

My Aunt brought me this cool art bin w/different types of mediums (color pencils, watercolors, nu-pastels, charcoal). Primarly my thing is pen and ink becuase of the tight control. I'm trying my hand these days using color pencils. Like most mediums the idea is to layer the colors to build your contrasts. Getting back into it I see that at one point I was scared to go hard with contrast. Fear of making the image too opaque. That texture pattern isn't mine, I just like how it looked next to the drawing. The texture image belongs to these kind folks.

The feedback has been positive so far. Who knows...I might drop a few of these things from time to time.
