Random Sketches

Sometimes I get in these moods where an image comes to my mind and there is no reason to it.  But I think you get a feel for where my mind is when the drawing comes out on paper. 

When I was a freshman in college, it was the worst year of my life.  Any and everything you could think of happened to me during that year.  Everything that was supposed to go left for me went right...and I lost it.  I lost EVERYTHING that year but I also gained EVERYTHING.  I met some beautiful people that I believe I would not have made it out alive.  It was that serious.  One individual who lived next to me took the time out to hear a bit of my dreams and aspirations which was all about art, of course....  For my birthday, she bought me this huge sketch pad.  It was the best gift I received that year.  It meant so much to me...she didn't even know me that well.  But she did.  So in one my random drawing moments....I was inspired by another friend down the hall and I drew the following work in that huge sketchpad:


Girl with Rabbit (pencil and color pencils)



I think my mind was in a serene place even though my life and heart was not.  In my mind I wanted this girl to look like my friend and I would remember her telling me about a pet rabbit.  So she was my inspiration for this random drawing.



Untitled (pencil sketch)

I believe I was in high school when I did this piece...I remember thinking that I want to draw a random woman's face and in my mind I knew which features I wanted the face to have.  I kept thinking she must have Joan Crawford's lips.  I always thought they were the most unique lips.  So I wanted everything about this woman's face to be severe and intense.  On top of that I added a sharp bob cut for hair.  Fierce.  That was where my mind was in this random activity.
